Game News - Next-gen Lara And Third Tomb Raider Movie

   Lara Croft's tenth birthday is still being celebrated for another few months, until its culmination with the Tomb Raider: Anniversary game in Spring 2007. And one of the latest reports covering this playful event has also touched on the subject of Tomb Raider 8 - the next generation sequel currently in the works at Crystal Dynamics, as well as the third Lara Croft movie starring the voluptuous Angelina Jolie. They haven't quite started making it, but they might be pretty soon now...

   The report I was telling about is the latest Eurogamer TV Show, part of which is dedicated to the Tomb Raider series' 10th anniversary this year. EG spoke with "Eidos big cheese" Ian Livingstone, who is more than impressed with how the new Lara is shaping up for the future Tomb Raider next-gen sequel (not to be confused with the upcoming anniversary edition). In the interview, Livingstone is quoted as saying:
"I've seen some of the in-game models and it's just like watching television; if you felt you were in love with Lara Croft previously, you ain't seen nothing yet. You'll be drooling when you see the new Lara as she appears in the next iteration."    Drooling sounds good. Definitely! So we'll be looking forward to Tomb Raider 8, or whatever they'll call it. As for the third Lara Croft Tomb Raider movie - the one that's been rumoured all through this year - it finally looks like things are being set into motion:
"There's a possibility - we've been talking to Paramount, who've agreed to assign a scriptwriter," he told EGTV. "That's nowhere near the green-light process but it's a very healthy start to have a scriptwriter which they're going to pay serious amounts of money to write the first script."    That still souds like a long way to go, but at least the Tomb Raider: Anniversary game should be coming out pretty soon...
