Tomb Raider 3 is going ahead with production.
But it will be going ahead without Angelina Joile.
The producer Dan Lin has said that he wants the new movie to be a re-boot (here we go again) and that the new movie will focus on a younger Lara Croft and her origin story.
He also said he wants the film to be more character-driven.
He also wants to make the movie more realistic than the past Lara Croft movies.
You can see the video interview with Dan Lin here:

Tomb Raider
Character-driven?
More realistic?
Lofty goals.
But isn't this a movie about a video game?
Don't get me wrong, I like story as much as anybody.
And action films can have a good storyline.
But isn't Tomb Raider supposed to be escapism?
A gorgeous, smart, athletic woman running around blasting the bad guys?
I just can't see a Tomb Raider movie winning an Oscar for best picture.
And I suppose since it's a reboot, Tomb Raider 3 is out as a title.
Let me guess..."Tomb Raider: A New Beginning".
Here's my idea.....
Lara Croft (Angelina Jolie) runs into trouble in the present day, finds a mystic artifact that transports her back in time and meets her younger self (Megan Fox).
The two Tomb Raiders team up and save the world (while of course causing massive destruction) and look really good doing it.
There, you can thank me for the 95 million dollar opening weekend later.
