A Tomb Raider movie reboot is confirmed for release on March 16, 2018. It will star Alicia Vikander, but there are no confirmed reports yet whether the star of the original movie, Angelina Jolie, will be seen as a cameo in the kick-ass action movie.The game has been around for 20 years, while the movie adaptation was released in 2001. According to Producer Graham King, the new movie reboot will not pick-up on the last Lara Croft movie in 2003, Chatter Sports Net reported.King said the reboot will focus its story on Lara's search for her father, News Everyday reported. He said it is considered a back to the roots story. Since it is a father and daughter story, it is expected to be quite emotional, he said. And he believes that that arc is what captured Alicia's interest to star in the film.There were also reports that "The Danish Girl" Academy Award winner, Vikander, said the same thing about the plot, saying that it was an origin story. The 28-year-old star said the story will be emotional and hopefully fans will see a more in-depth side of the character. She hopes that this approach will bring something new to the table, allowing the film to stand on its own.The movie's director, Roar Uthaug, commended the 2013 game in March and said he will try to make the reboot do the same thing. He wants to make the character more relatable to fans. He also wants to add a touch of his Norwegian roots to the franchise.Angelina Jolie's "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider" in 2001 is still the highest grossing movie based on a video game in the US. However, its "The Cradle of Life" sequel was considered a disappointment in the box office. The game is now on its 20th year after being released in 1996 for PlayStations, PCs, and the Sega Saturn.

No shared turkey this year. Brad Pitt won't be celebrating Thanksgiving with Angelina Jolie and their six kids, contrary to reports, multiple sources confirm to Us Weekly."Angelina did not invite Brad to spend Thanksgiving with their kids," a source tells Us.As Us exclusively revealed, Pitt, 52, has only seen the pair's children — Maddox, 15, Pax, 12, Zahara, 11, Shiloh, 10, and 8-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne — three times since Jolie, 41, filed for divorce on September 19 after two years of marriage."He’s crushed," an insider told Us last week. "Brad has been deferential on what’s best for them and limits their stress." A Jolie source, however, claims that the kids didn't "warm up to him" during the monitored visits.Last year, in happier times, Pitt told Extra that he's the one that cooks during the holidays. "We've got Thanksgiving, man — I'm all over that turkey," he said at the time.As previously reported, Pitt and Jolie continue to share legal custody while the Maleficent actress has temporary physical custody. Since the split, she and the kids have been staying out of the spotlight in Malibu.Pitt, meanwhile, has been traveling around the world to promote his upcoming drama Allied. On Tuesday, one day after the film's London premiere, the FBI said that the actor won't face any charges over an alleged plane altercation with Maddox.

It is safe to say this star has always been Team Jen and is now back to being Team Brad.Chelsea Handler once again took aim at Angelina Jolie, who she has previously branded a 'lunatic'.The 41-year-old used the actress' split from Brad Pitt as a punchline at the A Place Called Home's Gala For The Children in Los Angeles, California, on Thursday night. While introducing celebrity divorce lawyer - and dedicated A Place Called Home supporter - Laura Wasser, the funny lady made her feelings on Angelina clear once more.Chelsea told the star studded crowd in a video obtained by TMZ: '[Laura]'s very dynamic, she's very principled and she's a very accomplished human being.'And she's such a humanitarian, she's actually currently negotiating Brad Pitt's emancipation.'Chelsea threw her hands up in the air triumphantly as the majority of the crowd clapped and laughed. A Place Called Home is a charity dedicated to helping the children of South Central Los Angeles through educational programs, mentorship and other support services.Chelsea joked that Brad and Angelina's children - Maddox, 15, Pax , 12, Zahara, 11, Shiloh, 10, and twins Knox Jolie-Pitt and Vivienne, 8 - needed some help.As a segue from Brad to inducing Laura, Chelsea said: 'Speaking of kids that need help...
'When Laura first visited A Place To Call Home she knew she needed to do something to help, she said, and I quote, ''This is Los Angeles and this is my town. The fact there is a waiting list for hundreds of kids waiting to get into a Place Called Home is no OK with me, the place has to grow and I'm going to help make that happen.'And when Laura says she's going to help make something happen that usually means someone is going to lose a summer home.'Chelsea - who is best friends with Brad's other ex wife Jennifer Aniston - has previously made her feelings on Angelina clear.On her self-titled show Netflix in September - just after Angelina and Brad filed for divorce - the star went on a rant.'There are rumors that part of the problem was that Brad was allegedly drinking and smoking too much weed. I wonder why he would need to self-medicate.'She went on: 'Maybe because he could have been spending the last 12 years at Lake Como hanging out with George Clooney and Matt Damon, instead of being stuck in a house with 85 kids speaking 15 different languages.'Oh yeah, because he married a f***ing lunatic, that’s why.'Angelina was not the only one to get the Chelsea treatment on Thursday night, with the fact Laura has worked with some of Hollywood's biggest names giving her plenty of comedy fodder.Chelsea told the gala: 'Our community owes a lot to Laura and, as a celebrity divorce attorney, Laura owes a lot to hot nannies everywhere.'Laura has repped some of the most high profile divorces of our time - and also Nick Lachey - that list includes Kim and Khloe Kardashian, Stevie Wonder, Heidi Klum, Johnny Depp, Britney Spears 'She also represented Robyn Moore in her divorce from Mel Gibson, why anyone would ever want a divorce from him we will never know.'
