Spanish news site Europa press is reporting that producers of the upcoming Tomb Raider movie are considering replacing Angelina Jolie with Megan Fox.
This news rocks. I love Megan Fox. And when I say that I mean love. Megan was one of the reason's Transformers was such a huge success. She was one of the movies key characters and turned in a solid performance. Megan is the most pleasant piece of eye candy to look at and on top of that she's not annoying like all those other Hills girls.
Although I am geeked about this news I'm not sure that this will fix the current franchise's problems. Angelina Jolie was great as Lara Croft. Her performance was the reason why the movie was as successful as it was. This franchise is going to need a reboot, solid script, and a solid director to maybe be finally considered on the memorable list of movie franchises.
The new Tombraider movie is scheduled to start filming in 2010 with a release sometime in the summer of 2011.
