NEW TOMB RAIDER
MOVIE IN THE WORKS?

[ September 30th 2008 ]
Despite
domestic indifference to both previous Tomb
Raider motion pictures, sources have stoked
the fires of possibility once again on a third
motion picture. Originally touted as a trilogy
with Angelina
Jolie at the helm, Ian Livingstone hinted
at a continuation of the saga back in 2006.
As Eidos
wrestled with its own financial challenges, talk
seemingly dispersed into thin air.
Two years
on, and another round of rumours surface. A source
says, "Lara is such a fantastic character and
the games lend themselves to movies so well. Even
though the first two movies were not very well
received, there is still a lot of confidence in
Lara and Tomb
Raider as a franchise. The producers would
dearly love to get Angelina back in the role and
the door is being left open to her. This would
be a far darker movie with a lot more emphasis
on storyline."
Paramount
Pictures originally produced both previous Tomb
Raider motion pictures, so it will be interesting
to see if Warner Bros. considerable stake in Eidos
will play a role in any future production. Angelina
Jolie had already expressed
an interest in returning as Lara Croft despite
previously dismissing a third Tomb Raider motion
picture. Stay tuned for further info.
