The first one isn't out until the autumn, but there's already plans for 'Tomb Raider 2'. The director, Simon West, says so many ideas were cut out there's enough material to do a sequel straight away.

And Angelina Jolie, who plays posh Lara Croft, has admitted she struggled a bit with the accent and had to knock about with all sorts to perfect it: "Thank God I was in England because you’re surrounded by it, but you’re surrounded by all different types of accents so mine would go depending on the people I was hanging out with." "If they were from Liverpool or cockney it was going all over the place. I had an accent coach and we spent the first few weeks listening to the Royals and realising things we did and didn’t like about an upper class accent."
