The production crew on Paramount Pictures Tomb Raider movie sequel will relocate to Wan Chai, Mongkok and Hong Kong next year to shoot several action scenes for The Cradle Of Life. According to the government's Film Services Office: "about half of the film will be shot in the territory. Approximately 50 production people from overseas will be working closely with a hundred local crew members in the project."

Angelina Jolie is currently shooting aquatic scenes and completing a grueling Jet ski training programme on the sun-drenched Aegean sea island of Santorini. Filming will conclude this week at the northern-most point of the island in the small costal town of Ia. The auspicious Victoria Harbour will also play host to the former Oscar winner who dons hot-pants and pistols for her second foray as buxom gunslinger Lara Croft.

Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life chronicles the adventures of British aristocrat Lara croft sent on a perilous mission to rescue the world from the exploits of an evil Chinese crime syndicate led by oriental crime lord Chen Lo. The movie opens with an explosive underwater action scene involving a desperate struggle for a sacred ancient spear guarded by Chen Lo's evil henchmen and a mission to overthrow new villain Reiss from deploying an army of biological drones to wreak havoc on the world.
