It seems that the most successful video game adaptation franchise might be getting a new face. According to
PSExtreme.com, by way of the European site
MeriStation.com, Megan Fox is apparently set to replace Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft in the
Tomb Raider franchise.
Of course, this has not been confirmed yet but the project is currently seeking a director. It isn't clear if a script has been written yet or if a writer has been assigned to the project.
We'll surely keep you posted on any developments of this new story.
(1/27/09 2:30 PM PST) It seems that Ms. Fox won't be Ms. Croft after all.
iO9 is reporting that a spokesperson for Megan Fox has denied Fox's involvement in the potential film.
"She's not involved in the movie at all."

'the person who said it WASN'T tailored for Jolie was an idiot'
LOL which basically me and you made the same point, i just went into a tad bit more detail with a timeline.
But lol, what can ya do about it? :)
LOL
*SCREECHES*
I just have to ask this oen thing,
Why is it when people disagree on this site, why does everyone tend to believe it has to be an argument?
Also i'm gonna apologise to Vamp because me and Vamp were making the same point (games franchise of TR being around before the films and Jolie), i just realised that from reading both Moviebuff's & Vamp previous comment, but i kinda had just wrote that from waking up.
But still that's not an excuse.
How was the film Vamp, i'm seeing it next week, review damn it review, NO SPOILERS :)
One, Vamp flat out said: "Whoever said down there that this role was tailored for Angelina Jolie is an idiot". He was clearly talking to Perseus not J.A.
Two, it was Perseus who said: "I agree this role was tailored for Angelina, I am disapointed that she will not be reprising her role". So actually, Vamp was responding to Perseus' comment so why did J.A. respond to that.
Three, Vamp... you really do need to read all the comments below. I'm sure you hate it when someone comments the same thing you did earlier on a thread and makes it seem it was his original idea. A simple "I agree with J.A." will suffice. Just look at Agent Vis' last comment... he didn't like Stock and Lock's comment because it was exactly what he said.
Really... it's just a misunderstanding between the two of you. So here i am as a referee again haha ;) Now both of you shake hands and go back to your corners. And don't come back out fighting. haha
(just kidding)
Acting
good story
For Fun
To See them perform
But i was just pointing it out :)
Don't make me run over you with my horse ;)
(just kidding) Right, Megan...
"Actually the character wasn't tailored for Jolie, i doubt Jolie was even known when the Tomb Raider franchise was made well her cting career started in 1993 but her first major role was 1995 and then a year later Tomb Raider was created for PS1.
But yes as the games progressed the character began to look more like Jolie, but that was acidentially, they were actually based of the models used to advertise Tomb Raider.
But Jolie got the role due to hard similarities between herself and Tomb Raider's character and also she had more acting credibility than the models, so the studios went with her."
Whoever said down there that this role was tailored for Angelina Jolie is an idiot. "Tomb Raider" the game has been around since LONG before the movies ever came out. Yeesh.

ALSO NOTE THIS PEOPLE MEGAN FOX PLAYING TOMB RAIDER IS A RUMOUR.
Eidos apparently are going bankrupt and began starting talks of a new Raider movie currently and rumoured to be entitled
'The Tomb Raider Chronicles'
No one has been penned or cast, a storyline hasn't even been structured neither a screenwriter or director laid on the tables.
So a new TR movie is way off, especially with Eidos currently near bankrupt.
The story lines were weak but I did enoy the film's, if a young actress was picked then do a prequel. If it's the same age as Ang, continue the story line.
Michelle Rodrigues would be awesome as Lara Croft given the right story line and the director.
