Academy
Award winner Angelina Jolie blames the poor box-office
performance of the Tomb Raider motion picture's
on her assets. "They should have left the posters
as nature intended. They airbrushed my boobs right
out - and that's what got all the attention, not
the storyline." the Hollywood stunner told reporters
at Cannes Film Festival - where both Angelina
Jolie and co-star Will Smith are promoting their
animated pic Shark Tale.
Paramount
Pictures' Tomb Raider motion picture's panned
at the U.S. box office, fuelling rumours the originally
planned trilogy would be scrapped. Franchise producer
Lawrence Gordon appeared to support the claims
during an interview on the set of Hellboy. "I
don't think the financiers will do it," he told
Sun Times. "I don't think the last film did the
business we expected. Of course, I'd love to do
another one. Angelina Jolie is perfect as Lara
Croft."
DreamWorks
Pictures and Co. have converged in Cannes to promote
the upcoming animated motion picture Shark Tale,
tapping the vocal talents of Will Smith as Oscar
the fast-talking hustler and Angelina Jolie as
Lola - a sensuous dragon fish. Pic unfolds as
the sea underworld is shaken up when the son of
the shark mob boss is found dead and a young fish
named Oscar is found at the scene. Movie opens
October 1.
