Yay, I love the first 2 films, not a HUGE fan of the games, played them a few times but the films are great and Angie is sooo Lara! I hope she signs on for film number 3, she said a while back she wanted to. I haven nothing against Megan Fox but for continuity purposes, I hope it's still Angelina!
 
From what WB have said, it's not TR3 - it's a reboot. No Jolie. No continuity. Start again from scratch.

Flawed as the original TR films were (especially the second), they were pretty damn enjoyable. And very importantly, Jolie absolutley nailed the part of Lara - getting the look, moves, attitude and (thankfully) the accent spot on.

If the rumours of Megan Fox prove true, I suspect this will be a mess of Elektra proportions.

Shame Ms Jolie is too expensive and too 'serious' an actress for this these days.

That said, I'm sure there is an actress who could play it as well, but off the top of my head, I can't think of one. The only positive rumour I'm hearing is Rhona Mitra - who might just get it right.
 
Oh balls, it's not is it? What's the point in that? Ruddy reboots all over the shop these days! I want Angie, I want the cheese, I want the adventure and the mystery! :D

Megan Fox is fine in Transformers and I don't doubt her ability to pull off Lara but it's an unecessary change.
 
Did it heck. It's expected to shift 2.5 million units in its lifespan (with nearly 2 million sold so far), which is a lot. It's a bit less than the 3 million Eidos forecast, but is far from a tank by anyone's standarRAB.
 
The game has been heavily discounted though so profit margins are inevitably squeezed.

Plus EIDOS are almost exclusively a one trick pony.

Any underperformance in a Tomb Raider title hits them where it hurts.
 
Tomb Raider:

Production cost - $115 million

World wide gross - $274,703,340

Tomb Raider 2:

Production cost - $95 million

World wide gross - $156,505,388

So, for an outlay of $210m they got back just over $430m. I wouldn't mind that as a business model.

I stand corrected.

Although the law of diminishing returns had definitely set in for the sequel.

I suppose if they slash the budget to the bone a third outing would be a viable proposition.
 
It's not going to be the same without Angie!!! Still - was a Tomb Raider fan before I was a Angie fan so I guess I'll watch it, hope they come up with a good story this time, would be good to tie it in with the games....Avalon!!!
 
the problem is the games are basically a copy of indiana jones - so the films ended up being a copy of a copy of indiana jones.

AJ was great, its just the films were a bit pants

in fact, when was the last great action heroine??

geena davis was fantastic in long kiss goodnight.

ripley and sarah connor obviously...

but who else?
