The Tomb Raider films weren’t exactly Oscar-worthy, but they were good entertainment, mostly due to the fact that Angelina Jolie was Lara Croft. Now, it seems the producers are considering taking away the one thing that worked for the films, as they are planning to replace Jolie with Transformers babe Megan Fox.
Fox can surely look and act the part, but she certainly doesn’t have the star power of Jolie. Even then, the film will need a better script and a more capable director to actually amount to decent entertainment.
A third film is currently in development with a production schedule of 2010 for release during summer 2011.
