Hey folks, Harry here... Earlier this year when we reported that Angelina Jolie and the crew of TOMB RAIDER would be shooting at the most fantastic archeological site on planet Earth... ANGKOR WAT, I saw some folks in Talk Back think that this was the same site as was used in Mortal Kombat and many of the Kung Fu flicks of the 80's and 90's. But... This was WRONG. There has not been an American film shot at Angkor Wat in 36 years... Not since LORD JIM with Peter O'Toole. So this is a major coup for Simon West and crew... and for the rest of us. Meanwhile, in the very near Holiday future, the TOMB RAIDER teaser will be hitting screens near us and will feature Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft... not hidden in shadows... not in voice alone... but in full Lara Croft gear... so prepare... My understanding from those that have seen this teaser is that they are hit with giddyness... Here's the report and check out the full article at the link below!
Hey Harry,
found the following article on TOMB RAIDER in the online edition of the Straits Times...
Here's an excerpt:
"Outside the Bayon Temple, famous for its 172 smiling head statues, The Straits Times watched Angelina shoot one scene in which she and her Land-Rover have just landed by parachute.
On touch-down she accelerates away through water and mud while director Simon West looked on and called for re-takes.
The previous day, the crew filmed a sun-set scene from a hill overlooking Angkor Wat as Angelina, this time dressed in a green jump suit, scoped the scene through binoculars.
Afterwards she was heard telling the director that she already had the sequel in her sights."
