1526.   Tomb Raider Chronicles - DE BONT AIMS HIGH FOR TOMB RAIDER II

Jan de Bont, director of the upcoming action sequel Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life, told SCI FI Wire that he wanted to make a netter movie than the hit first film. I don't want to say anything negative, but I felt that changes had to be made for sure, because there were a couple things I really didn't care for, de Bont said in an interview. I think [Lara Croft's] character was way too one-dimensional. I think it needed to be really expanded on. And the story had to be much more coherent. It was not a brilliant story.

1527.   Tomb Raider Chronicles - LARA CROFT BETTER SECOND TIME AROUND

Lara Croft Tomb Raider went down in history as the highest-grossing film ever with a female lead. That nugget of cinematic trivia raises expectations for the latest Tomb Raider adventure, The Cradle of Life. There's a lot of pressure on me, says Lara Croft herself, Angelina Jolie. I plan on not answering the phone for three weeks if it's all over. As we were doing (Tomb Raider 2) and when I saw it, I thought it is a lot better than the first one. So I'm pretty confident that if people give it a shot, it certainly holds up. It's much, much better than the first, but you never know (how the public will respond). I don't take it so seriously. It's a summer movie. It's business. If it goes well, that's great. If it doesn't, it's not the end of the world.
