They've announced that Angelina Jolie will not be playing Lara Croft in the next Tomb Raider movie; the role will be re-cast.
I was not all that upset to hear the news. I love Angelina Jolie, possibly because she was Lara Croft however I feel that there could be someone out there better suited to the role.
Personality-wise, I'm thinking Rosario Dawson, however the producers might go for another good choice, Eva Mendes if they have the budget. I think Eidos did a great job with Tomb Raider Legend in choosing Karima Adebibe as the promo model; her look is spot-on. Even Alison Carroll's look for Tomb Raider Underworld is pretty damn close.
The report I heard was that "Angelina Jolie would no longer play Lara Croft in the Tomb Raider movies." Does this mean that there are plans for more? I hope they do a decent job and don't ruin it for us. Sure, the movies aren't Spiderman quality or even future classics but they were a bit of fun for Lara Croft fans.
Yes, I'm a girl and I love Lara Croft, preferably the pixelated version. What girl wouldn't want to be a smart, hot chick who can kick butt?
