Tomb Raider has Iron Man screenwriters

The new attempt at rebooting the Tomb Raider franchise, according to Deadline, has the Iron Man screenwriters Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby. “The real obstacle for this reboot is overcoming the fact that the ideal actress for the Lara Croft franchise is the one who played her in the first place,” says the source. “Female-driven action films have proven to be something of a dead zone in most cases. Besides Jolie, few actresses have been successful as action heroes, with Kate Beckinsale doing business in the Underworld series and Mila Jovovich in the Resident Evil films. Beyond getting a strong script and filmmaker, GK’s challenge will be combing the list of up and coming actresses to find the next Jolie.”

No word on a possible date for the film’s release, but who do you want to see as the big-breasted, tomb raiding, Lara Croft?
