Tomb Raider movie reboot to explore Lara's origins

Wouldnt mind here as LARA ! but the douchebag directors are prolly going to use megan fox

I dunno, since getting kicked off the Transformers 3 movie she's been rather quiet, having failed to prove to anyone she is more than a pair of tits.

If it's done right it could be really good. At least they have writers who have written something decent. It'll depend on whether the producer and director are also good or the sort that hack good scripts to pieces trying to make some quick buck trash.

I think the best game movie adaptations would be one set in the universe but not based directly on a game. Kind of like the Mass Effect & Halo Novels. It shares the odd character but mostly fills the spaces between games which has such a huge potential for a good movie adaptation. Also it could serve to expose more people to the game's universe and may even lead to sales.

I also think the only way we will get marginally decent video game movies publishers need to take the same approach as Marvel in recent years which has seen the entire comic book film genre being revitalized after nearly being killed by crappy movies like Superman returns, Spiderman and Fantastic 4.

If Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed movie turns out to be good I think we will finally see this shift.

I agree 100% with you on that. Instead of trying to recreate something that people already know and love, expand on it horizontally by creating a story that takes place in the same universe, but has no expectations from fans associated to it. If you have to recreate something that has already been done, fierce criticism will always haunt you, no matter how well you do it. But if you have something set in the same universe which is not connected to something that has already happened, you can be as creative as you want. I think that many people will appreciate that route rather than watching directors and writers butcher their favourites.

I was never really a fan of Angelina Jolie as Lara Craft, so I hope that they find someone better suited this time.

I kinda liked her in that role.The acting wasn't oscar-worthy but i think she did a good job and i'm not even a fan.
