I'm a little bummed if they do--I don't mind Jolie as Croft, but she tends to just dictate the films around stunts she wants to do. Not the way you should write an engaging action film. Still, she's become synonymous with Lara Croft, which I find slightly weird considering neither movie was that successful. It's kind of annoying because the character was fun, an icon of her own but is now just part of the Angelina Jolie myth.
I always hoped if they revived it, it would be with a different actress and more in the lines of Indiana Jones than silly game adaptation.
Anyway, is it for real, or just some executive trying to latch onto the Brangelina buzz?
HOLLYWOOD - Pregnant Hollywood vixen Angelina Jolie has agreed to reprise her role as Lara Croft in a third Tomb Raider movie--and she is already planning a punishing fitness regime to regain her figure after she gives birth.
The Oscar-winner, who is eight months pregnant, is currently staying at a highly guarded residence in Namibia where she is expected to give birth to her first biological child, fathered by boyfriend Brad Pitt.
And Ian Livingston, the creator of video game heroine Lara Croft, says, "Paramount has optioned it and Angelina has agreed to star in the third. If the (new) game is as successful as the others, it's likely Paramount will put the third movie into production soon."
The last Tomb Raider film, Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life--made on a $90 million budget--grossed $65 million at the box office.
