Olivia Wilde Tipped For Tomb Raider Role Again



Olivia Wilde has once again been tipped to replace Angelina Jolie.

The sexy Tron actress is reportedly set to take on the role of Lara Croft in the game-inspired Tomb Raider film franchise.

The idea is to get a top director and an intelligent script and make this an empowering character for women as well as a popular one with men, a source said.

Olivia is just one of the names being suggested for the lead role. She would appear to be ideal.

Wilde was first linked to the role back in December, when the actress, along with Megan Fox and High School Musical hottie Vanessa Hudgens, were all being mentioned as the new Lara.

The idea is to make a movie around the game which would tell the story of the origins of Lara, a source said at the time. It will be action packed, gritty and much darker than the previous Tomb Raider movies.
