according to Harry Knowles of Aint It Cool News,
some details have emerged documenting underwater

across an inventory of Alexander The Greats' prized
possessions secretly tucked away in shark-infested
waters.

a underwater rebreather for her and her pals -
aesthetically customised for the movie - one scene
will include the discovery of an underwater temple.
In true Lara Croft fashion, it won't be long before
Lo's evil Bellog type adversaries are on her case,
and assisting Lara in her ruthless underwater
battle scenes are none other than 10-foot sharks.
She'll then be plucked from the waters by a military
submarine before being whisked off to further
her adventures.
Tomb
Raider II, tentatively named The Cradle Of Life
[working title], will also shoot on location in
China and Africa with Speed director Jan de Bont
helming the Lara Croft franchise vehicle. The
movie is expected to make its commercial debut
Summer 2003 armed with an arsenal of commercial
tie-ins and corporate sponsors.
