Angelina Jolie 'rebooted' off Tomb Raider

Producer Dan Lin is mixing things up

Angelina Jolie is currently filming action movie Salt

Angelina Jolie won’t be reprising her role as computer game character Lara Croft in the Tomb Raider franchise.

The actress, 33, will be replaced by someone younger for the next installment. 

‘We are rebooting Lara Croft,’ producer Dan Lin tells the Daily Star Sunday.

‘It’s a great story that we are going to tell, very character-orientated and more realistic than the past movies. It is an origin tale so it’s going to be a younger Lara Croft.’

Angelina starred in 2001 flick Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and sequel Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle Of Life in 2003.

It is thought the new film will be based on the latest console version of the series, Underworld.
