MOVIE ON THE CARDS

SCI,
the computer games company that owns Lara
Croft, along with her Tomb
Raider franchise, is in talks with Paramount
Pictures over licensing the property for a third
Hollywood movie, according to www.thebusinessonline.com.
The previous
two movies have grossed more than $450m (£262m,
E383m) at the box office and are based on the
video game of the same name. Sources in Hollywood
say negotiations have started between Paramount
and SCI - who acquired rival British publisher
Eidos earlier this year - for the latest movie.
Angelina
Jolie has once again expressed an interest
in starring as Lara Croft despite previously dismissing
a third picture following domestic indifference
to Tomb
Raider: The Cradle Of Life. Chris Barrie has
also registered his support to resume his role
as Lara's fumbling butler Hilary.
SCI Entertainment
Group is likely to negotiate a tougher deal for
its property under chief executive Jane Cavanagh,
who is one of Britain's most successful female
executives. Eidos reportedly collected only $1
million from Paramount Pictures prior to production
of Lara
Croft Tomb Raider.
