'Tomb Raider' reboot actress talks replacing Angelina Jolie

Details: Published on Friday, 14 July 2017 11:09; Written by Fox News

It’s been almost 14 years since there was a live-action version of Lara Croft on the big screen. That will all change in 2018 when the highly anticipated “Tomb Raider” reboot hits theaters and fans can properly stack it up against the originals.Alicia Vikander will take on the iconic character who originated in a series of video games that launched in 1996. However, non-gamers will recognize Oscar-winning actress Angelina Jolie as the last person to play Croft. Jolie starred in the 2001 “Tomb Raider” adaptation, as well as the 2003 sequel “The Cradle of Life.” Despite the large gap between the original and its reboot, Vikander is the first to acknowledge that she has some big shoes to fill.“I was surprised that my mum knew what ‘Tomb Raider’ was. That’s due to the fact that Angelina Jolie made Lara Croft such an icon,” she told Entertainment Weekly. “But this is a beautiful way of showing a very loved character from more angles.” The 28-year-old actress went on to describe how she feels the bar for female action characters has been raised since the release of “Wonder Woman.”“If ‘Wonder Woman’ made such an impact, which it deserves to, then we need to use ten times as much force to make some change. Because it needs to happen.”This isn’t the first time that the “Tomb Raider” franchise has received a reboot. In 2013, the games started from scratch with an origin story for the character, depicting her as a young adventurer in a gritty, survival story. A sequel was released in 2015 titled “Rise of the Tomb Raider.” According to the director, the film reboot has borrowed heavy inspiration from the new games.Speaking to GQ about the differences between the films, director Roar Uthaug drew the first comparison.“I’ve seen the films — they were a lot of fun and Angelina Jolie was a terrific Lara Croft. We are [making] a very different film, an origin story and I think fans will love Alicia in the role.” The new film is scheduled for a release in 2018.

Details: Published on Monday, 03 July 2017 03:58; Written by Life & Style mag

Marion Cotillard channeled Angelina Jolie and her lips for her latest film role! In a series of selfies posted to Instagram on Monday, March 6, the French actress flaunted a much plumper pout and bared her cleavage in a red bra and flannel button-down. “Rock’n’roll #rocknrolllefilm,” the brunette beauty captioned a few of the photos, tagging longtime partner Guillaume Canet, who directed and co-stars in their upcoming flick. The couple allegedly play an exaggerated version of themselves in the comedy, which will be released in the US later this year. “To be… or not to be...” Marion wrote next to another group of pics. This isn’t the first time the Inception star has worked alongside her boyfriend, whom she started dating in October 2007. The duo appeared together in the 2003 movie, Love Me If You Dare, as well as 2009’s The Last Flight. They have a five-year-old son named Marcel, and Marion is currently expecting their second child.The Oscar winner was forced to announce her pregnancy in September after she was rumored to be having an affair with her Allied co-star Brad Pitt in the midst of his divorce from her current doppelgänger Angelina."This is going to be my first and only reaction to the whirlwind news that broke 24 hours ago and that I was swept up into,” she wrote on Instagram at the time. “I am not used to commenting on things like this nor taking them seriously but as this situation is spiraling and affecting people I love, I have to speak up." She continued, "Firstly, many years ago, I met the man of my life, father of our son and of the baby we are expecting. He is my love, my best friend, the only one that I need. Secondly to those who have indicated that I am devastated, I am very well thank you. This crafted conversation isn't distressing… Finally, I do very much wish that Angelina and Brad, both whom I deeply respect, will find peace in this very tumultuous moment.” No doubt Marion has respect for Angie’s famous pout too!

Here's What Jen Aniston BFF Chelsea Handler Would Say To Angelina Jolie In An Elevator

Details: Published on Saturday, 27 May 2017 16:46; Written by Refinery 29

Today's reminder that stars are just like us (well, sort of, sometimes) comes courtesy of sharp-tongued comedian Chelsea Handler, who appeared on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen on Thursday night. An audience member asked Handler a very pointed question: "Chelsea, if you were stuck in an elevator with Angelina Jolie, what would you say?" Handler answered, "I would just, I would just look up. Exactly what people do in elevators. You know when you, like, fake look at the number because you just don't want to make eye contact?" She pantomimed somebody looking up, feigning interest in the floor number. "That would be exactly the elevator ride. And then I'd go, 'Heyyy!' as I walked out. 'Hey you!'" Well, it's good to know that celebs do their best to avoid awkward elevator interactions, too. But Handler's imagined reaction is actually remarkably civil, given the less-than-kind things she's had to say over the years about Jolie, who played a role in the split between Brad Pitt and Handler's best friend, Jennifer Aniston. During a Watch What Happens Live appearance back in 2013, Handler said, "She seems like a demon." She added, "It has nothing to do with Jennifer. As a woman, I know when you see somebody walking across the room that's a bad girl. I just don't like Angelina Jolie." In September 2016, following the news of Brangelina's breakup, Handler made a savage dig at the actress on her Netflix talk show, Chelsea, calling her a "fucking lunatic" and implying she was the reason for the divorce. "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 said. “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 fucking lunatic, that’s why." Yikes. We're glad Handler's hypothetical elevator behavior is markedly more tame.”

Chelsea Handler: Jennifer Aniston Doesn’t Care About What’s Going on With Angelina Jolie

Details: Published on Thursday, 06 April 2017 07:01; Written by US magazine

Jennifer Aniston has better things to worry about, well, at least according to her bestie Chelsea Handler. The comedian, 42, opened up in a new interview about her friendship with Aniston, 48, and said that the Friends alum doesn’t really care about what’s going on in the lives of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.Speaking with the U.K.’s You magazine, Handler defended Aniston against “crazy” rumors that she spends her time harping on Jolie’s split from Pitt, 53, whom the Maleficent actress, 41, filed for divorce from in September.“I don't think Jen cares about what's going on, and it's crazy that people think she does,” the former Chelsea Lately host told the publication about Aniston. “As if she's sitting around caring about [Angelina Jolie]. I know I don't.” This isn’t the first time Handler has shaded Jolie since her two-year marriage and more-than-decade-long relationship with Pitt fell apart. On a September 2016 episode of her Netflix series, Chelsea, the New Jersey native took aim at the Academy Award–winning actress. “There are reports that part of the problem was Brad was allegedly drinking and smoking too much weed,” she said of Pitt, who shares Maddox, 15, Pax, 13, Zahara, 12, Shiloh, 10, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 8, with Jolie. “I wonder why he needed to self-medicate. 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?” Aniston was married to Pitt from July 2000 until October 2005. After her high-profile romance with the Fight Club hunk ended, the Cake actress was linked to several famous men, including Vince Vaughn and John Mayer, before she fell in love with husband Justin Theroux, whom she wed in August 2015.

Details: Published on Saturday, 17 June 2017 10:11; Written by Vogue

Although she’s only 20 years old, Zendaya must be familiar with the Angelina Jolie slit. At the 2012 Oscars, the actress boldly wore a velvet Atelier Versace dress cut up to there and made red carpet history, an iconic fashion moment that spans generations. But how does a young starlet rework the eyebrow-raising look for the millennial set? For Zendaya, it comes down to an innate understanding of good styleYesterday in Madrid, Zendaya dropped by a Spider-Man: Homecoming photocall in a fun and flirty slip dress by Jonathan Simkhai. The asymmetric silhouette felt like a modern interpretation of the lingerie look, and twin slashes at the front and side gave a neat sense of movement. Zendaya struck a demure pose with one ankle strategically crossed over the other, calling attention to her sequined Rihanna x Manolo Blahnik shoes, instead of a single bared leg—elegant and elevated, in one easy step.

Ariel Winter Is Giving Us Old School Angelina Jolie Vibes

Details: Published on Saturday, 20 May 2017 15:39; Written by Refinery 29

Ariel Winter has done it again. Over the weekend, the Modern Family and Smurfs: The Lost Village actress posted a seriously stunning photo of her Saturday night threads on Instagram that has us gushing.Legs. For. Days.Winter, who consistently gives us fashion goals, sported a mini strapless LBD and thigh-high heeled boots for a night out on the town. Paired with her sleek hairdo and a dainty choker, we couldn't help but wonder if we'd been transported back to the '90s and were looking at Angelina Jolie! In a refreshing change, a large number of the comments on her Instagram post were positive and encouraging, ranging from "You slay girl, as usual" to "YES YES YES EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS." Throughout her career, Winter has combatted negative comments from critics who body and slut shame her for what seems like all of her sartorial choices. Recently, Winter received criticism for donning a golden cocktail dress at a panel and screening of Modern Family, to which she responded:“Why the fuck does anyone care that I didn’t dress casual like everyone else for the panel? Why do I have to be like everyone else? Why can’t people just let other people feel good about themselves and do what they want?" For now, we can just hope that the love keeps pouring in and that the 19-year-old actress can continue to focus on what's most important to her, like being the best version of herself she can be and enjoying life with her boyfriend and new roommate, Levi Meaden.

Jamie Dornan’s Wife Forbid Him From Working With Angelina Jolie?

Details: Published on Thursday, 30 March 2017 06:35; Written by Gossip Cop

Jamie Dornan’s wife, Amelia Warner, did NOT forbid him from working on a film with Angelina Jolie, despite a made-up tabloid report. Gossip Cop can exclusively bust this claim. We’re told it’s not true.A so-called “source” tells Star that Jolie recently pursued the Fifty Shades star to play her love interest in an upcoming movie, saying, “Angie wanted someone tall, dark and handsome. And after seeing Jamie’s work, she thought he certainly fit the bill.” The outlet’s dubious insider goes on to purport that Warner is concerned because the actress has hooked up with co-stars in the past, including Brad Pitt, Billy Bob Thornton and Jonny Lee Miller.“Amelia trusts Jamie completely, but she’s heard enough to know Angie likes to get whatever, or whomever, she wants,” adds the magazine’s questionable source. But Gossip Cop checked in with a reliable source close to the situation, who exclusively assures us that Warner never forbid her husband from working with Jolie, and the claim otherwise is entirely fabricated.Unfortunately, we’re not surprised by the tabloid’s bogus report. Gossip Cop previously busted Star for falsely claiming that Dornan and Warner’s marriage was in trouble. We also corrected the outlet for wrongly alleging Dornan’s wife was jealous of Dakota Johnson. There was no truth to those stories, and the same goes for this latest one.
