Eidos and Paramout assign screenwriter
Ian Livingstone told that progress on a third Tomb Raider movie is being made.
"There's a possibility - we've been talking to Paramount, who've agreed to assign a scriptwriter," he told. "That's nowhere near the green-light process but it's a very healthy start to have a scriptwriter which they're going to pay serious amounts of money to write the first script."
Angelina Jolie signs on for Third Tomb Raider movie!
Angelina Jolie will be reprising her role as Lara Croft in "Tomb Raider III" reports Britain's The Daily Express.
Jolie will start training for the new movie almost immediately after her new child's birth. She is currently in Nambia with Brad Pitt and their two adopted children (Madox and Zahara) awaiting the birth of their child.
The creator of the game and character, Ian Livingstone told the newspaper that "Paramount has optioned it and Angelina has agreed to star in the third", whilst a source added "Angelina is already in training to make sure she gets rid of her post-pregnancy bulge. She wants to be in tip-top shape and look better in Lara's outfit than ever".
SCI and Paramount talk on Tomb Raider 3 movie
The The Business Online states that SCI, the computer games company that owns Lara Croft, along with her Tomb Raider franchise, is in talks with Paramount Pictures over licensing the property for a third Hollywood movie.
The previous two movies have grossed more than $450m (€383m) at the box office and are based on the video game of the same name.
Sources in Hollywood say negotiations have started between Paramount and SCI for the latest movie, and Angelina Jolie has once again expressed an interest in starring as Lara Croft, the English archaeologist-adventurer.
The video game and film industries have grown closer over the years, as games are licensed to film studios. The Tomb Raider game has sold more than 30m copies since 1996.
It is thought that Eidos took a one-off licensing fee from Paramount in 1998 and collected a percentage of the film’s gross receipts. It also gets a cut of sales from Tomb Raider merchandising.
