Plans for a third movie were revealed in early 2004, but according to CNN they were ultimately cancelled by distributors Paramount Pictures, due to the box office failure of Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life the previous year. However, a third Tomb Raider film has been reportedly to go underway. What could come as a shock to Tomb Raider fans, as the second Tomb Raider film, Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life, bombed in theaters and a previous report released shortly after stating that a third film was scrapped, IGN has reported on April 20th, 2006 however, that Tomb Raider III is on the drawing board, and Angelina Jolie is going to be reprising her role as Lara Croft. In the article, Ian Livingstone, co-founder of Eidos and creator of Tomb Raider is quoted as saying in a British tabloid newspaper, The Daily Express, "Paramount has optioned [Tomb Raider III] and Angelina has agreed to star in the third." A source tells The Daily Express that "Angelina is already in training to make sure she gets rid of her post-pregnancy bulge," and "She wants to be in tip-top shape and look better in Lara's outfit than ever." It is currently unknown when production will start on Tomb Raider III.O
