T.i. could work: Megan Fox is considered to be the frontrunner for the coveted role of Lara Croft in a new Tomb Raider film. It would be great ... if they ever make another one.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, there is no writer or director yet involved in the project but that's there's a huge amount of interest to see a third film about the iconic video vixen. Unfortunately, they may end up changing her English aristocracy roots, but the good news is they would be replacing Angelina Jolie, who didn't do much for the character, with an asskicking leading lady like Megan.
Warner Bros studios, which bought rights to Lara Croft in December,and producer Dan Lin are working to reboot Tomb Raider and bring the heroine back with a new franchise.
Rumors hit the Internet last week that Megan, 22, might be offered the part but her spokesperson denied any involvement.
Another potential name is Rhona Mitra, the original Croft model for the video game, who plays a vampire warrior in “Underworld: Rise of the Lycans” in theaters now.
Rhona recently said she wouldn't consider the role, but with the right script and director, and a pile of cash, she could be persuaded to change her mind.
