Just when we thought the Tomb Raider reboot was dead in the water, it resurfaces like a Phoenix! According to THR, the movie is still happening and they’ve officially set a timeline for when it will hit theaters. The last time we saw the character on the big screen was in 2003 with the sequel Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life, where of course Angelina Jolie played the title character.
We thought the rumors surrounding Tomb Raider and Lara Croft were done for! The last time the character hit the big screen was in 2003 when Angelina Jolie appeared in Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life. The film bored us to tears, just as the first one did in 2001 but Hollywood still wants to reboot it. The latest news about the impending film centers on Tron Legacy star Olivia Wilde, who’s supposedly up for the part of the new Lara.
The people behind the upcoming reboot of the Tomb Raider franchise are persistent. There have been rumors circulating for over a year regarding their interest in Transformers star Megan Fox to take on the film’s title character, but the actress adamantly denies any interest on her part to star. Do you think that stopped producers from putting out another offer? Nope!
This is laziness, sheer laziness! According to THR, Warner Brothers Studios is in the process of rebooting the Tomb Raider movie franchise. The first two films were produced and distributed through Paramount and starred Angelina Jolie as the lead. Producer Dan Lin is in early development talks to get the revamp off the ground, but this time with the WB behind it. Lin is already one of the producing forces behind the Guy Ritchie film, Sherlock Holmes, and the upcoming Johnny Quest.
