Warners Bros. and producer Dan Lin (Sherlock Holmes) are in early development on a a reboot of "Tomb Raider," the popular video game action franchise featuring Lara Croft.

The two previous films were made by Paramount but the rights have since reverted to game creator, Eidos. When Time Warner upped its stake to 19.92% in Eidos in December, films rights to the property were included as part of the deal.

The new project is expected to re-imagine the origins of the the character, her love interests, the villains and her mission. The project will bear little resemblance to the original pictures which starred

The lead character, previously played by Angelina Jolie, would likely come after a writer and director are attached.

I already heard that Megan Fox is in the lead for the new Tomb Raiders.

Edited for what we would actually want ....

The new project is expected to re-imagine the Lara Croft character running about in a cave wearing tight shorts, a skin tight top whilst carrying double pistols. The origins of the the character will be quickly passed in the intro with Chirs Barrie returning for a couple of lines as her butler, her love interests are the long lost artifacts she is looking for and her next fur coat made of the endangered animals she will shoot. The villains are cliff faces, crumbling ledges and some nameless man in glasses who will only appear at the end. Her mission is to look hot after plunging into a rock pool. The project will bear an uncanny resemblance to the original Tomb Raider game especially the big breasted girl in hot pants part.

Give Chris Barrie a bigger role and maybe I'll give it a watch.

The removal of Jolie, her face that looks like a baboon's ass, her total lack of acting ability and her horrible screen presence immediately increases my interest in the role.

wow that hatred screams of ignorance. You may not like her but why get so aggresive towards her looks when it is obvious she is in no way ugly?

So, Toom Raider is getting a third film, yet Zelda goes unmade in any form?

[The Line]

I'm getting tired of the lazy reboots that hollywood is doing. Its getting to the point where "franchises" will get rebooted after 1 or 2 films. Some franchises, such as the 007 franchise needed a reboot, since it was 20+ films deep. Now it just seems like lazy filmmakers make a shitty movie, knowing that if the movie is bad, they can just reboot it 5 years down the line.

Seriously, how do you make a Mario film? I mean, it's one of those crazy stories that only exist in Video Games. "Help, a Demon Turtle King has invaded a Kingdom of Fungus People, and the only ones who can save us are brothers with some experiance in defeating giant apes!" Wait, what? A Zelda film is much easier. Heck, you could just take the script for Star Wars, replace the characters, and poof, you have it!

I agree with you, im not too fond of Fish Face myself

[invaderdave]

If she were played by that chick that does all the MoCap for her now, I could see myself going to that movie.

Star Wars would have worked better for Mario. "Sorry, your princess is in another Death Star."
