A 3rd Tomb Raider movie is in the works

Yep. Warner Bro. is currently developing a new Tomb Raider movie and no it will not star Megan Fox as Lara Croft. That was only one of those internet rumors that was quickly shot down by a spokesperson from Megan Fox’s camp. But just because Megan Fox isn’t in the movie doesn’t mean it is not going to be made.

The film will be the third Tomb Raider movie made but this third movie is going to be a reboot or reimagining of the character Lara Croft and her story. THR reports:

Warners Bros. and producer Dan Lin are in early development on a a reboot of “Tomb Raider,” the popular video game action franchise.

The new project, however, is expected to revamp the character and her mission and bear little resemblance to the original pictures. It will reimagine the origins of the character, her love interest and the main villain.

As an open-writing assignment, the project is still in its nascent stages. An actress who could play the role Angelina Jolie made famous would likely come on after a writer and director are attached.

I was one of those teenagers growing up playing the Tomb Raider video games and I have always been a big fan. I liked the first Tomb Raider movie, but didn’t really care for the second one. It will be interesting to see who they get to play Lara Croft this time around. Any thoughts one who you think it might be or who you would like to see in the costume?

    Megan Fox, definetly!

    Definately Jolie! No replacement for her, especially after her role in the first film. Stunning!

    Jolie fits in with the stunning-babe-kicking-ass concept. I don’t think any other actress could fill the chair. Especially not after we’ve gotten used to Jolie being Lara Croft. But that’s not to mean I like her performance as an actress, just that she’s visually the best one to be Lara Croft.

    I think that Alison Carroll should be in the next film…. She’s hot she’s can actually do all the stunts wheras jolie pretends she did them. And she can act! She got it all…

    i agreed with dan, alison caroll will make all guys want to enjoy the film… we’re need something new, a fresh girl..alison caroll will wake up us from sleepy and much make us curious for her look… she much better than the old and boring by over-exposed jolie… if it jolie again, it would be a boring movie.. lack of imagination..

    I personally think it may not be worth doing if Angie wont do it. She BECAME Lara and no one else could have made it work. That being said,and put off my chest, I think the auburn haired actress that plays a CBI agent on the CBS hit “The Menatalist” would do an excellent job (as far as looking like Lara Croft). She looks exactly like the Croft characture in the recent LEGEND game.

    i think jennifer love hewitt is good for the role

    Cmon Guys!!, Angelina is the past, it was a terrible performance in the last two movies. Angelina has a fake British accent, she is not athletic and now she is older to take the role again. So I say Jessica Biel or Rhona Mitra those girls look like Lara and will get the job done.
