In a recent interview, Terminator Salvation Executive Producer Dan Lin dropped a bombshell about the new Tomb Raider film.

The new movie will be a prequel to the others – a kind of “Lara Croft, the Formative Years”, and it seems that the lovely Angelina Jolie is to be ousted in favour of Transformers actress Megan Fox, who actually described her own performance as “s**t”.

The Hollywood gossip mags have been rife with tit for tat comments over the past while and though Fox has denied that she’s trying to back flip into the role she reportedly ranted “I’m much hotter than her” when a fan got them mixed up.

Now, call me a traditionalist, but there’s only one Lara for me. I’ve seen footage of Angelina dangling from the rafters on various types of apparatus while performing her own stunts. It’s fairly insulting to dedicated fans of the film to replace the actress without consulting them.

Lara was one of the first female protagonists in a major series of games and we have watched her blossom from a slightly triangular and weirdly rigid existence (if you know what I mean!) into the fully formed and very lifelike incarnation she takes today, bouncing her way happily through her adventures.

Aside from her eye-wateringly tight outfits, the fundamentals of her character are her intelligence and skill. Does Megan Fox beat good old Mrs. Pitt in these stakes? Let’s see…

*shakes head* |I

She has insufficient breastage to be Lara Croft. :(

She also can't act. I know that isn't exactly high on the list of things Lara Croft needs to be able to do, but still :lol

Apparently the movie is about a younger Lara, which is why they'll use Megan Fox. Because you know, Angelina is an old withered hag now :rolleyes

Yes.. it grieves me that we are missing out on more Angelina Jolie (pointless shower scenes)

I wish they would just cast Kate Bekinsale and be done with it. Or that poor-mans Kate Beckinsale, whatsherface...

Rhona Mitra! That's her. Apparently she even appeared as a live-action model for Lara Croft previously! http://www.laraslookalike.fr/laracroft/mannequins/rhona-mitra/images/2-gallery.jpg

She sounds nice...maybe she can do some PR work for me.

That'll be a step forward in the career she is talking about
