Revival of the Tomb Raider

According to The Hollywood Reporter, "Lara Croft could soon be going on a new big-screen mission.

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

'Tomb Raider,' which was published in 1996 by a London-based video game company called Eidos, was a wildly popular game that involved the daredevil archaeologist Lara Croft on a series of global missions. Several spinoff games have been published since, with a 10th-anniversary edition of the game released in 2006."

Paramount made two films based on the "Tomb Raider" franchise, but now the rights have gone back to Eidos, and having Time Warner having a stake in the company, movies will now be made by Warner Brothers (which is also a Time Warner company).

"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."

From an earlier post, I reported that rumors were going around that Megan Fox might be playing the part of Lara Croft, but that is still not stated as a fact.
So here we will have another videogame-to-film movie. Let's hope it stays true to the title to keep the fans happy while being able to bring in fresh audiences who have never played the games.
