Tomb Raider - The Croft Times recently reported some rumors on the casting of this upcoming movie. Paramount supposedly considers former Playboy model Anna Nicole Smith for the role of Lara. Let's all hope this is just a rumour, I just can't see Anna Nicole Smith as Lara Croft.
Note From Webmaster - Sorry about the couple of days without updates, I've been waiting for a brand new design for this site, it's about 90% finished, but it's going to take a lot of time to update all the pages, so things might seem a little messy around here soon, but I promise to fix up everything. The new design is not created by me personally, it's made by a Norwegian company called Web Byrået. The new design should be available soon, and just incase anyone doesn't like it, I'll still keep this version of the page around. Thanks for taking the time to read this, and I'll see you all tomorrow!
