Now this is good news! I've enjoyed the heck out of the Ryan series.
The unnecessary reboot/remake of the week thread
- Thread starter Rowdy Roddy McDowall
- Start date
Amazon MGM are eying Sophie Turner or Lucy Boynton as Laura Croft for their "Tomb Raider" reboot.
I prefer Hayley Atwell instead of another young actress. Wasn't Harrison Ford almost 40 when he played Indiana Jones for the first time?
Re-reboot, since so much time as elapsed since the reboot tanked.
Serious male actors are taken more seriously in general, even now.
Angelina Jolie was hired for three reasons. One was being an Oscar-winner two years before TOMB RAIDER. Her accent was exceptionally good in moments, but I doubt that was the fourth reason.
If Hollywood had more scruples and consistency with the sexes, Jolie would be permitted to return as Croft.
There is definitely a double standard applying to older female actresses (and not even when they’re especially old) but OTOH I’m not sure that the Angelina Lara movies were so successful or nostalgically remembered that there is really a demand for her to return to the part.
Ford was born in 42 and the movie came out in 81, so he was 38-39 when it filmed.
I think a better example would be Jennifer Gardner. She was 51 when she reprised her role as Elektra in Deadpool and Wolverine.
And Gardner was good in that role.
I am just tired of young (super) hero's, I am more fore older characters.
Like last week I saw a few scenes of the movie Uncharted with Tom Holland, it wasn't really for me. But a few years ago I saw a Uncharted scene maybe fan made with Nathan Fillion and I wish he played the lead role in the Uncharted movie.
If they were considering more mature actresses for Lara Croft, I think the first they should call in is Rhona Mitra.
As for Atwell, I'm quite looking forward to her taking over the lead role of the Mission: Impossible franchise once Cruise finally retires from that position.

The Cliffhanger reboot will no longer star Sly Stallone but will instead feature Lily James and Pierce Brosnan

‘Cliffhanger’ Reboot: Lily James and Pierce Brosnan to Star for Director Jaume Collet-Serra; Sly Stallone Out (EXCLUSIVE)
In a full creative overhaul, the reboot of Sly Stallone's "Cliffhanger" will now star Lily James and Pierce Brosnan for director Jaume Collet-Serra.

I'd rather see Brosnan hijack John Lithgow's original role. We've already had a father-daughter take on DIE HARD, in the fourth one.
Michael Caine played a man he earlier killed in the GET CARTER films. I'm sure Stallone would be happy to be recast as Sarah Majorfall*, or perhaps the wounded federal agent who retaliates against the hijackers before the Treasury plane explodes.
(Now Sam Majorfall.)

Yeah, I hadn't even considered Hayley Atwell, but I'd much prefer her to Sophie Turner. I think she's a better actress IMHO.
It'd be funnier if it was all Stallone's fault again...but for something less earth-shattering. Like accidentally passing Rooker powdered cement instead of table salt.
Winter may be coming (again)

‘Game of Thrones’ Movie in Early Development at Warner Bros.
The studio has been quietly developing a film based on George R.R. Martin's fantasy universe as HBO/Max and Warner Bros. increasingly cross pollinate the company's big fantasy titles.

Angelina Jolie is probably too expensive for Amazon/MGM to afford.
This is a bit weird. Presumably the idea is for another hit legacy sequel like Top Gun: Maverick, but have Paramount and Tom forgotten that the original Days of Thunder was supposed to be a Top Gun-style hit and, er, wasn’t? On the plus side, maybe he can find a new wife out of this one too

Tom Cruise Eyeing ‘Days of Thunder’ Sequel for Paramount (Exclusive)
The actor-producer is exploring a follow-up to his 1990 NASCAR racing film while also developing a ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ sequel and figuring out the future of the ‘Mission: Impossible' franchise.

I love "Days of Thunder" and I am all for seeing him do another one. I kind of like the idea of him going back to his roots to become a Dirt Track racer. His wife has died and they never had kids. He is lonely and lacking a purpose in life and his friends in John C Reilly and Michael Rooker encourage him to get back to his old passion. He then falls in love with a women driver who has a few demons of her own.
