[ August 20th 2001 ]
Oscar
winner Angelina Jolie has revealed that preliminary
work is about to begin on a sequel to Paramount
Pictures Lara Croft: Tomb Raider motion picture
and says she will continue in her role as Core
Designs British archaeologist Lara Croft.
"It looks
like it's going to happen." Angelina Jolie told
the Daily Record during a press interview this
weekend. "They are writing another one. I am going
to be Lara Croft again. If we can make it a hundred
times better, if we can do a whole bunch of new
things, think of a whole new sequence, get a great
script with everything that nobody has ever seen
before - then we will do it."
Although
panned by critics across the globe, Paramounts
adaptation of Core Designs phenomenally successful
video game of the same name has generated over
$200 million in revenue since its inception June
15th, helped considerably by a series of strategic
alliances with several mainstream consumer brands
competing in the studios most ambitious advertising
campaign to date.
In the
meantime, Angelina Jolie continues her work as
a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations High
Commissioner for Refugees, recently returning
to Cambodia - where she filmed portions of Lara
Croft Tomb Raider - touring the former Khmer Rouge
zones where UNHCR have concentrated their aid
effort for displaced refugees who previously fled
the country.
