In what could become the real life Hollywood version of Single White Female, soon the actress once known as Angelina Jolie will cease to exist, as Megan Fox's evil plan to take over her life and identity is now one step closer to completion. Maybe. Although producers have not officially made an offer to Fox, word is she's the front runner to take over the Tomb Raider franchise, as she seems like the logical choice. E! Online reports:
Warner Bros. has confirmed plans to relaunch—and completely overhaul—the hot-pants-wearing, artifact-collecting Lara Croft: Tomb Raider franchise, with the first major casualty being Jolie.Think about the bizarre number of parallels at play here. Megan Fox is a brunette actress with a hot body partially covered by some hideous tattoos, and a penchant for giving crazy interviews that hint at an extreme and highly sexual wild side. Granted, Fox hasn't practically made out with a family member on the red carpet just yet, nor has she won any awards for her acting, but she did show up to the Golden Globes doing her best Angelina Jolie impression.According to the Hollywood Reporter, the third film will completely reboot the video-game-based character, including changing her origin story (most likely shying away from her English aristocracy roots), and introduce new kinds of missions, love interests and villains.
And, most notably, a new leading lady.
While producers say an actress likely won't be cast until a writer and director have signed on, Fox has emerged as the frontrunner replacement, at least as far as the blogosphere is concerned.
Now she may take over as Lara Croft? Angelina had better watch out if Fox announces she plans to adopt children and then signs on to star in a movie alongside Brad Pitt.
