Do You Want Another Lara Croft: Tomb Raider Movie?

January 28, 2009

Back before Angelina Jolie was one half of a power couple with Brad Pitt, she was starring in the video game-based Lara Croft: Tomb Raider film franchise. I'm always down for a female lead to kick some arse, but to be honest, I never really got around to watching these movies.

Now rumors are swirling that Warner Bros. would like to relaunch the franchise — complete with casting a new female lead.

What do you think about the Lara Croft character? Were you into the movies with Angelina Jolie? Are you interested in a reboot of the female-driven action franchise? Or not so much?

They should definetly make another Tomb Raider film! I dont know why they havnt already, the films all did very well. Keep Angelina Jolie because she kicks ass and she pulls of the comedy side too, she IS Lara Croft,I even think they kinda model the game character after her these days... Kinda. Anyway the film fans cant imagine anybody else playing the role and I thought her accent was good! Besides Megan Fox comes across as really bland to me . But if they did make another film with another actress then I still would see it, but it just wouldnt be the same, I'd still be thinking about Angelina jolie's character. ANGELINA JOLIE FOR ONE MORE TOMB RAIDER FILM

I think if you have to have a new lead, ( AJ is fantastic by the way). Then you should cast a complete unknown to emerse in to the role, plus they should be a true Bit, Like myself and maybie go back to how she got into the whole tomb raider job as she grew up with out her father, her training and adventure would then be in sync with the Aj films. Keeping the flow and everyone loves the whole begining of things. Take batman begins, the new wolverine film, underworld etc.

I thought Angelina was perfect for that role and I can't imagine anyone else playing that part. I don't think they should make any more Lara Croft movies, period. There weren't THAT good...it's just one of the movies that I watch when it comes on TV.

I think they should change Anjelina Joile as Lara Croft and cast somebody new.If you never played the video games you won't notice the differences between the two character.As a gamer it was quite painful to see her play the role.Lara Croft is more feminine in the games and what Anjelina played is just a masculine version of the original form!!!!!!!!!!And most of all-her british accent was not near good enough.The perfect choice would be ( still) Rhona Mitra.

i have no desire what so ever to see another lara croft movie. she's not interesting at all to me, and i would rather sleep than see a sequel.

No, I don't want another Tomb Raider and I really don't want one without Angelina Jolie! No more Megan Fox, she is so over. She can't really even act, please...she's no Angelina.

I'm not an Angelina fan--far from it--but I hate movies that recast already established characters. That's the worst.

Nope, not without Angie.

I'm not a big Tomb Raider fan as is, but I really couldn't see anyone but Angie playing Lara. I agree gab... Megan Fox is irritating.

I really liked these movies but without Angie I don't really think I'd watch...besides Megan Fox is irritating.

I don't see the point of making more Lara Croft movies, with or without Angelina. The movies were awful. That being said, if people saw them was because Angelina was on them (even if her acting was terrible too), so it makes even less sense to continue without her.

I think they should keep Jolie (who is probably passing on it since she doesn't have the time or energy to do the role right now) or scrap it.. Even worse they are completely revamping the character.. no longer English.. no longer "Lady Croft".. they want to Americanize it which means trashier..more violent.. so Megan would be a physical match for the role... I hate when they try to completely change something that has already made a HUGE amount of money worldwide and is very distinct.. someone is just greedy... that is CRAP!

I never watched the Lara Croft films, I'm more interested in them putting out a new game instead(I would buy that :)).

I think it honestly depends on who the select to cast as Lara. If not Angie, I think Kate Bekinsale has had a solid run with the Underworld series, so I think she could be a feasible recasting of Lady Croft. Though she isn't a spitting image of Angelina, I think she could effectively play the part.

I think only Angelina should do lara Croft. And as for it coming to light again, then I say NO WAY. Leave that movie alone and come up with new movies/Television for us to watch. This is why I can't stand television now. It's nothing new or quality to watch.

I loved the movies & I love Angelina Jolie, so I can't really see anyone else playing the role..

I found the movies to be really fun, but I'm not sure about another actress playing the part. I'd have to see the trailer to really know if I'd see it.

NO, not without Angelina. I would refuse to see this if Angelina didn't play Lara Coft. Angelina made that effing franchise a hit (in terms of the films I mean) and she outta be the one playing the character until I hear her give her blessing to another actress.

They weren't very good movies, but they were pretty entertaining. It'd be weird to see someone besides Angelina as Lara Croft, though. She was so perfect for that role it's like she was genetically engineered to do it.
