[ May 19th 2009 ]
Speaking
at the U.S. premier of Warner Bros Pictures' Terminator
Salvation, producer Dan Lin has revealed a few
pearls on a third Tomb Raider motion picture,
but this time it appears without Academy Award
winning actress Angelina
Jolie.
"We're
rebooting Lara
Croft as well.", says Dan Lin when quizzed
on future movie sequels. "Really excited - it's
a great origin story that we're going to tell.
A very character-oriented I would say more realistic
than the past Lara Croft movies."
When
asked on whether Jolie would reprise her role
as buxom adventurer Lara Croft, Lin replied: "It
is an origin story so it is a younger Lara Croft."
No further casting details were revealed.
Originally
touted as a trilogy by director Simon West, Ian
Livingstone hinted
at a continuation of the saga back in 2006.
Since then, despite
a few rumours surfacing, there's been nothing
substantial confirmed until now.
