Action Movies

Helen Mirren keeps popping up in my daily conversations and I am doing my best to resist this wave of Helen Fever. I had a strain of Helen Fever in 1995 (while sick with an actual fever and accompanied by marathons of Prime Suspect) so I felt this time around I was somewhat immune.

At least I thought I was.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Warner Bros. is developing a new film adaptation of the popular Tomb Raider video game.  In line with approach J.J. Abrams has taken for the new Star Trek movie, this new Tomb Raider picture would not be a sequel to the first two films in the Tomb Raider series starring Angelina Jolie, but a reboot featuring an all-new origin story for Lara Croft. It's a good bet that Jolie won't be starring in the new film.

Should we be excited about a new Tomb Raider movie?  Well, sorta.  More after the jump....
