They blame the box office meh-ness of Tomb Raider:Cradle of Life on the fact that gamers didn't like Angel of Darkness?
Seems to me that the reason it didn't do very well is because it's a lazy sequel to a boring, pointless film that didn't do fantastically well in the 1st place?

Angelina Jolie gets naked in loads of films, no need to spend your £ on this rubbish.
Oh, looks like nobody has anyway.
Good. Dont blame the game, blame dull, derivative, thoughtless McMovies that people have gorged on and are full.

the trailer is class. Of particular note are the meteor cgi effects, that were done on a laptop (!??!?!?!) and look just a pro as a film costing 10 - 20 times as much.

As to the triple barrel shotgun, hey, every baddass has to have a cool weapon :)

That's laptop stuff?
Looks damned good considering.
Australian zombie flick with a beardy cowboy man and upper-torso missing leg zombie.

I shall see this

On top of that, it apparently doesn't feature a mall.

That Undead film has been around for about 2 years, the release date just keeps getting put back.

The first Tomb Raider was awful.

I had no intention of watching it whatsoever, but it turned up on my doorstep, so I watched it then sent it back.

It was so utterly moronic. Why not just destroy the bit she had...?

What's best, is that it was nearly beaten by Seabiscuit, only a few $100000 in it.

Seabiscuit opened in far fewer cinemas.

Seabiscuit is a tale of Spider-man on a horse.

Seabiscuit is one of the worst names for a movie ever.

And more people went to see Spy Kids 3D. Hopefully that'll put an end to any thoughts of a third...?

And remaking Dawn as a PG13? That's just wrong. They'd no doubt totally miss the point, cut out all the social commentary, and have hip kids hide in supermarket, beating the zombies without getting nasty. Urgh.

Crikey, I'm like the worlds biggest Spaced fan and I didn't know that.
If Pegg and Stevenson are writing it, it can't fail to be anything but class.
Any idea when it's out?

They should really bring back Spaced an' all, or at least repeat it on C4. I could quote that darned program endlessly...but I won't, for the sake of these forums.

I don't think Jessica Stevenson has to anything to do with it, but I know that Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and that guy that played Darth Maul (Pete Sercwanickiz???) are all on board, as is Edgar Wright. There's more on the Spaced website, but we've missed out on our chance to be extras!!!

Rats. The chance to be an extra would've been so cool! I'll have a gander at that website though.

Cheers!
