PIC BEING DISCUSSED?

Cocooned
in a pageant of all things uncertain, a source
attached to motion picture giant Paramount Pictures
has confirmed the studio is still negotiating
a third Lara Croft-helmed movie to conclude the
trilogy originally touted by Lara Croft Tomb Raider
director Simon West. Paramount's Tomb Raider train
spectacularly derailed in April after franchise
producer Lawrence Gordon dismissed a concluding
picture blaming the mediocre box-office performance
of Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle Of Life.
Academy
Award winner Angelina Jolie - who plays lead video-game
heroine Lara Croft - had already dismissed a concluding
picture during an interview in March. "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. 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."
