Lloyd
Levin says maybe, Chris Barrie says maybe, but
Lara Croft herself has dampened speculation of
a third Tomb Raider motion picture from Paramount
Pictures during a press conference for her Taking
Lives pic. "I just don't feel like I need to do
another one, because I felt very happy with the
last one. It was the one that we really wanted
to do," reports Coming Soon. "In the first one,
I was kind of frustrated, but I was trying something
new, and then with the second one, I felt like
that's how we wanted to do it."
Back
in Feb 2004, Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle
Of Life producer Lloyd Levin said international
returns were more than respectable enough to ensure
Paramount bankroll a final chapter in the planned
Tomb Raider motion picture trilogy despite domestic
indifference. Speculation was then supported by
Chris Barrie, the British actor who plays Lara
Croft's fussing butler Hillary, during a recent
interview with The Sun. "There is a third Tomb
Raider film on the slate and I'm hoping Hillary
will be back. The perfect storyline would be that
Hillary turns out to be both the arch-baddie and
Lara's love interest! Although I'm not sure how
Angelina would feel about that."
