Jolie 'furious' at Megan Fox playing Lara Croft photo

Megan Fox, Megan Fox, Megan Fox. It's seemingly all I hear about lately, as America has found yet another relatively hot female to latch onto and saturate the world with until everybody's bored of her. One person is reportedly already angry at the Megan Fox craze, and she has every right to be -- after all, she just stole her role as Lara Croft in the Tomb Raider movies.

According to The Sun (so who knows how truthful it is?), Angelina Jolie is "furious" at Megan Fox for being cast as Lara Croft in future Tomb Raider films, believing she'll be unable to do the character "justice." The Sun adds that, "She's also annoyed because she thinks Megan copies everything from her, from her tattoos to her style." 

Jolie was allegedly intent on reprising the role, and is angry at the idea of someone "less capable" than her taking on a role that she "defined." 

I can somewhat understand Jolie's catty bitching. After all, Jolie knows what it's like to be Hollywood's latest craze and whored out until everybody's sick of seeing her face everywhere, and it must be hard when the fickle gossip columns and easily-distracted mainstream audiences find a new human plaything. Jolie just needs to console herself with the fact that, once Megan gets a little older, it'll happen to her as well. I'm already tired as Hell of hearing her bloody name everywhere.

Yes because Angelina is such an excellent thespian that nobody could follow up here Oscar winning performance as Lara*

Oh cool, more films I can dodge like the fucking plague. An over-proportioned, emotionless bint or someone as common as STIs in a british club? I'll take neither.

Oh and the "role she defined" bit is bollocks when you're already playing a predefined videogame character. But alas.

Be all and end all, I don't find either attractive, so I'm happy to spout out crap about both of them.

Got a call from my mate last night asking if I wanted to see 'Megan Fox 2', I said I didn't know what that was he said 'you know, it's got those big robots in'

I think he was joking.

I hope he was joking.

They're both amongst the most overrated "hot chicks" of recent memory. I really don't feel the need to see movies featuring either of 'em.

Requirements to play Lara Croft:
- Must posses two (2) X chromosomes.
- Must posses ample cleavage.
- Must be able to say "Uh!", "Ooof", "AAAAAARGH!" in an English Accent.

I think Meg will do fine.

They both complain about the fact they draw comparisons from each other by the media. Yet they are exactly the same, and it boils down to this... I would.

Both of them are as boring as hell in interviews, just thank god they look great :D

Also, Megan Fox claims she has a brother/sister relationship with Shia Le Bouf? (dunno how to spell it ) if it's anything but an incestual relationship, on behalf of all males out there, i feel digusted at this wasted chance by Shia.

Was there some kind of mass self-castration last night on destructoid?

WTF?

Hey Jim you made a typo. It should read:

Jolie was allegedly intent on reprising the role, and is angry at the idea of someone "less capable" than her taking on a role that **[her chest]** "defined."

I wouldn't be too happy with Megan Fox as Croft either. I guarantee she can't speak with an english accent, she has absolutely no muscle tone. She's a runway model, not an adventurer. She's not even a decent actor. She should be in magazines, not film.

There are better choices.

@ Koehler: You know what would really be a better choice than the both of them? NOBODY.

The Tomb Raider films suck and will continue to suck. The character just isn't that interesting. She has tits and she jumps around a lot, leading to those tits bouncing. That's all Lara is.

That said, I will certainly watch the new movie when it comes to HBO or Cinemax one day, if only to see Megan's sweet ass for a moment or two.

Then I will promptly turn it off and play some games.

I wouldn't consider The Sun as a reliable source, they're probably still eulogizing over Jade Goody's carcass.

I really don't care who plays Croft, the two Jolie films were awful anyway.

Anyway, I'm not a huge Angelina Jolie fan, but she plays Lara Croft very well. Honestly, I don't think that I could think of anyone better for the role, especially because she really has Lara's personality down.

They know that putting Megan Fox on screen for 2 hours in booty shorts will be more than enough to fill theaters around the world. It's been working on me so far.

Wow...there are straight males that don't think Megan Fox is insanely hot?

Well, to each his own, I guess. There are, of course, famous women who are considered "hot" but I wouldn't consider them as such.

As far as Megan Fox goes, you can count me in the group that jizzes his pants from every photo taken of her...she is damn, damn hot, IMO.

Frankly, I think this may fall into the "unfounded rumour" category as I don't see Fox as Lara Croft.

I actually don't mind Angelina Jolie... she's her own person, and she's actually not a bad actress (Girl Interrupted, Changeling, Gia) and doesn't mind taking roles where she's more than just a "pretty face". I also like that she does a lot of humanitarian work, and doesn't seem to do it for the press.

... at this point in her career, Fox seems to have been little more than a "pretty face"... as to whether she'll actually grow into a real actress, that remains to be seen - but taking on the role of Lara Croft certainly won't get her there. If she does do this, it'll be a bad career move.

Don't forget: Jolie had "LARA CROFT" tattooed on her arm (or was it somewhere else? I can't remember now)

That's gotta sting right now.

Who believes something posted by The Sun? Anyway, I thought I remember hearing that she turned down the role. Not that playing that role requires a lot of acting prowess, but for me I'd like to see the role taken more seriously i.e. not sticking a pretty face with very little acting talent in front of the camera for 2 hours. Granted Jolie's performance wasn't the best, but I don't think she was terrible either. Jolie, IMO, is the better actress, and if a lot people didn't like her in the role imagine what someone like Fox would do with it.

She's attractive sure but she's not that special as far as Hollywood goes.
More to the point, she's a really, really shit actress. We can look forard to lots of straight-to-DVD Tomb Raider films then I guess.

i think jolie did a relatively good job in the tomb raider flicks why change that up now thats its well established. I mean sure megan fox is pretty good looking but i can't say her acting has ever done anything for me.

So, is this some sort of prequel where Lara is younger and a worse person? Sounds to me like the Tomb Raider: Chronicles of game-movies. This is going to be an abortion.
