New Tomb Raider movie will get fresh start, Megan Fox won’t be playing Lara

Sorry to dash any hopes out there, but it looks like Megan Fox won’t be starring as Lara Croft in the new Tomb Raider movie after all. According to her spokesperson at least. I hope they choose someone good though. Those are some pretty big…. shoes… to fill.

Sorry to dash any hopes out there, but it looks like Transformers star Megan Fox won’t be starring in the new Lara Croft movie after all. Look at the bright side. They may choose someone with a more robust… acting experience. I hope they choose someone good though. Those are some pretty big…. shoes… to fill.

Following the rumors that Fox will portray Lara, her spokesperson denied any involvement, saying “She’s not involved in the movie at all.” Awww.

More on the movie though, it seems that it will be giving Lara a fresh start, discarding the storylines in the Angelina Jolie films. Lara will be given a new origin, new adventures, and even new love interests. You can also scratch out Jolie to reprise her role. They’re getting a new actress as well – which they won’t do until they find a writer and a director.

So who can fill the bra – erhm – role of Lara Croft? Any votes? Mine’s with Rhona Mitra, the original live-action model for Lara. She also plays Sonja in Underworld: Rise of the Lycans.
