TOMB RAIDER

Good news for video game fans everywhere: GK Films has resurrected the Tomb Raider franchise, and has hopes for another foray into theatres come 2013. Raider's titular (tee hee) heroine, Lara Croft, is sexy, disproportionate, and British; the ideal catnip to nerds (guilty) who are in awe of her perfect, pixelated figure.

Apparently, thirty-five is the new fifty, because Angelina Jolie--who was the originator of the buxomly babe--has been cast aside for a younger woman to strap on the twin gun holsters and short shorts. Some notable names being floated around are Gemma Arterton, Rhona Mitra, and Odette Yustman, although principal casting isn't anywhere close to beginning.
