TEMPERS IGNITE ON TOMB RAIDER SEQUEL

[ 28 October 2002 ]

Tempers are flaring on the set of Paramount Pictures Tomb Raider sequel The Cradle Of Life according to reports in today press. Former Oscar-winner Angelina Jolie is feeling the wrath of helmer Jan de Bont because of the regimental way he directs a production many industry professionals are suggesting is make or break for the Speed 2 director. A source says "He's pushing everybody hard, especially the crew, and Angelina feels sorry for them. The pair have a cold, professional relationship. There's no warmth or camaraderie between them."

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.
