The original Tomb Raider movies were over-the-top and comic bookish. Since the game is being rebooted, the movies are too. Don’t expect Angelina Jolie! The 2013 Tomb Raider flick is Jolie-free. More »
According to The Sun (yes, we know), mega star Angelina Jolie is peeved that Transformers actress Megan Fox is being mentioned as her Tomb Raider replacement. More »
It looks like Angelina Jolie’s time as Lara Croft could be at an end, with the next Tomb Raider movie being an origin story featuring a much younger Lara Croft. More »
Lara Croft actress and borderline anorexic Angelina Jolie has been using Let’s Pilates and her kids’ DS to shed her post-pregnancy pounds, according to America’s OK! Magazine.
For a celebrity whose past is filled with questionable choices — nearly making out with her own brother on camera, having “Billy Bob” tattooed on her arm, making two Tomb Raider movies — Angelina Jolie has taken a shocking turn for the normal. The UN goodwill ambassador has a decent head on her shoulders, at least in terms of talking to her kids about violence and video games.
Film Beowulf was sure expensive to make! The CG-laden flick was budgeted around $AU 158.08 million — not exactly chump change. Heavenly Sword developer Ninja Theory thinks it could have done the flick cheaper. Twenty percent of the cost, actually! Oh ho ho ho. Let’s hear what Ninja Theory’s Tameem Antoniades has to say:
We see an entirely different area of progress: a form of independent production based on real-time game engine technology. We reckon you could do something like Beowulf for 15-20 per cent of the cost… If you are already creating hi-res assets for a game, then sharing these can bring that cost down even further… We have a lot of experience in performance capture, animation, rendering and so on. We can compete in the same way that indie films can live alongside blockbusters.
20 percent of the cost is dandy and all, Ninja Theory, but would your film have Angelina Jolie? Well.
