"Tomb Raider" Reboot Confirmed!
Wed, January 28, 2009 
Mere days ago, a Spanish website claimed that Transformers star (and all around sex-Goddess) Megan Fox was in the running to replace Angelina Jolie for a third Tomb Raider film.
Of course, it sounded like 100% Grade-A B.S. and Fox's own spokesperson quickly shot down the story thus ending any further talks of another Lara Croft adventure.
However now as per The Hollywood Reporter, Warner Brothers has announced plans to continue with the franchise by starting from scratch with a reboot!
Long story short, Paramount (who had previously held the rights) let them lapse which went right back to Eidos - the British company responsible for creating the original video game series.
Warner Brothers in turn bought up big shares of Eidos thus retailing the film rights for Tomb Raider as a part of the package.
And now they have the property set up with Dan Lin to produce. For those who don't know, Lin was the man responsible for Justice League: Mortal almost getting made. Thank your lucky stars that didn't happen, boys & girls!
At the moment, Lin and the studio-heads are actively meeting with directors and screenwriters about how to bring Croft back to the silver screen.
While we're all here, I'll just go ahead and suggest actress Rhonda Mitra - she's currently headlining Underworld: Rise of the Lycans and also appeared in last year's Doomsday and had a stinct of TVs Boston Legal.

Of course Rhona Mitra was once Lara herself, being one of the early models for the game. I would love to see her in the role too.
But why a "reboot" There's not much here to reboot.
