Press The Buttons: Lara Croft Gets A Reboot For Tomb Raider Prequel Movie

After starring in two Tomb Raider films as Lara Croft, it looks like Angelina Jolie is out as everyone’s favorite globe-trotting skimpy-clothed adventuress.  Film producer Dan Lim has been talking about the next movie in the franchise, and goodness gracious oh my, it’s a prequel reboot origin story.

“We’re rebooting Lara Croft…It’s a great origin story that we’re going to tell, a very character-oriented, I would say more realistic than the past Lara Croft movies…It’s not full-on action. I would say it’s like Terminator, it’s character driven action. For me, the Lara Croft games and movies have gone a little too action-oriented. I wanted to have action, but with character.”
