Posted January 30, 200916 yr Two days after rumours hit the Net that Megan Fox was being lined up to replace Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft, (which, according to io9, her reps say isn't true), The Hollywood Reporter is running a story about a big screen reboot of the videogame franchise. According to the trade mag, Warner Bros. and producer Dan Lin are in early development on the project. Lin cut his teeth with films such as The Departed as well as forthcoming projects Sherlock Holmes and Terminator: Salvation. Studio Paramount made the previous two Jolie-starring instalments Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life, but let the rights lapse, meaning they have now reverted to game Publisher Eidos. When Warner upped their stake in the publisher in December, the film rights were part of the deal. Warner Bros. are set to reboot the Tomb Raider film franchise. Apparently the new film will "re-imagine" the origins of the iconic archaeologist, as well as her love interest and the chief villain. Warner Bros. will now begin looking for a writer, a director and -- of course -- a star to play Lara (will it be Fox?), so stay tuned to IGN for all the latest updates on this movie! IGN :lol: @ Megan Fox playing Croft. If its true clearly they are trying to sex up the series rather than reboot it.
January 30, 200916 yr Megan fukkin' Fox?????? Christ, at least Angelina could actually act and do the action stuff convincingly...... Megan Fox seems as though she'd be too scared to break a nail..... :rolleyes: Cant believe that no one thought of Rhona Mitra tbh, or indeed Jennifer Garner..... Both have action film/tough girl credentials....
January 30, 200916 yr Author Eliza Dushku fits this role PERFECTLY. Exactly what she might need to boost her career.
January 30, 200916 yr Author Good news :lol: Megan Fox has dismissed speculation that she will appear in the forthcoming Tomb Raider movie. The Transformers star had been tipped to take on the role of daredevil archaeologist Lara Croft, made famous by Angelina Jolie. However, a representative for the actress has denied the reports, saying: "Megan is not involved in this movie." Earlier this week, Warner Brothers confirmed that it is developing a third film based on the popular Eidos video game, which will reportedly revamp the character and introduce a new female lead.
January 30, 200916 yr Rhona Mitra has said she would not do it either but Jennifer Garner would be cool the 3rd film should go by the games, if it does then there should be no love interest, that is tombs, also if they go by Core's Lara then she will be cold and rather heartless, if they go by Crystal Dynamics Lara then she will be more light hearted and have two companions at croft manor, but if it is based on the current game, one of the companions gets shot. the chief villian in Tr is most likely Natla, she was in the 1st game, the remake of the 1st game and the current game and is most recognised. if they go by the film history then i dont know what to expect.
February 1, 200916 yr Good news :lol: I was right.... Poor widdle Megsy Wegsy IS afraid of breaking her nails, or, SHOCK, actually getting all dirty and sweaty...... :lol: "Tombs, with like, snakes and spiders and dead things and stuff....*girly shriek* EWWWWWWWWWW GROOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSSSS".
February 1, 200916 yr The first two where quite decent enough. Well, they kind of weren't really, let's be honest..... :lol: The plots were rubbish, the scripts were pretty awful..... The only thing that made either of them watchable was Angie.....
February 1, 200916 yr Rhona Mitra has said she would not do it either Shame... Going by stuff like Doomsday and the new Underworld film, she'd be good at all the action stuff..... Eliza Dushku...? Interesting.... But, how's her plummy English, upper-crust accent.....? :rolleyes: If she wasn't quite so......blonde and ever-so slightly masculine, I'd've quite liked the idea of Katee Sackhoff.... The female actress in Chocolate is absolutely FANTASTIC, amazing skills.... Unfortunately, she's also from Thailand..... :lol:
February 1, 200916 yr Author Eliza Dushku...? Interesting.... But, how's her plummy English, upper-crust accent.....? :rolleyes: I think cos she has been away for so long its not going to be so easy to tell, but i think once Dollhouse comes on (which is supposed to have a lot of action scenes for Dushku) then we'll be able to tell how easily she could fit into the Croft role. For me i think she would be perfect. But like you said, the english accent might be a tricky thing to get around.
February 1, 200916 yr Jessica Alba would be great for the role of Lara, and tipped to be playing Barbarella in the remake would be great.
February 1, 200916 yr Author Jessica Alba would be great for the role of Lara, and tipped to be playing Barbarella in the remake would be great. Nope. Rose McGowan is still playing the lead as far as ive heard. Universal wanted Jessica but Rodriguez insisted on McGowan playing so Universal backed out.
February 1, 200916 yr Well, they kind of weren't really, let's be honest..... :lol: The plots were rubbish, the scripts were pretty awful..... The only thing that made either of them watchable was Angie..... That's what made em decent. :lol: For a third one, they should really pull out all the stops. Make the stunts, storyline, effects/cgi, everything bigger.
February 2, 200916 yr Jessica Alba would be great for the role of Lara, and tipped to be playing Barbarella in the remake would be great. Nah, Jessie's a bit cr@p these days.... Shame, cos with Dark Angel she showed promise.... But just about everything I've seen her in after that, she's just been pretty vacant really.... Deffo glad that she aint getting the Barbarella role, Rose McGowan is WAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY sexier....
