Eeeyeah. They wouldn't have much of a movie if they let that happen, now would they? ;)

I remember the cartoons fondly and I'm surprised there is a movie to come out, with this Oscar Winning actress.
I smell a Tomb Raider franchise!
Gah.
First of all, two movies is not a "franchise." And two Incredibly s
ty movies is even less of a franchise. They hired directors with already-proved-to-be questionable talent, each movie had about 18 screenwriters (always a bad sign) and yes, though I WOULD watch Angelia Jolie picking out floor tile, that doesn't mean I'll pay $9 to a lazy movie studio, for whatever crap du jour just because she's in it.Whereas the screenwriters of "Flux" are mostly unproven, I think director Karyn Kusama had a flair for the visual, in her low-budget "Girlfight." However, other directors have been crushed beneath the weight of a gigantic budget and CGI, so it could go the other way. The difference here being, Charlize picks even more diverse roles than Angelina, so this movie will have to be AWESOME, plus outperform the weak Tomb Raider box office, for there to be any sequels at all.
A trilogy, though, is a bare minimum for a franchise, every time.

Quote:Good points all, though I believe a franchise is created from the beginning. They would never make even one of these movies if they didn't see sequels being made for 10 years after... and more.

And thanks for mentioning "Girl Fight" director Karyn Kusama. Mainly because it made me think of Michelle Rodriguez. Who is just freaky hot.

On THAT, we can agree.
Resident Evil had me drooling all over the floor... blonde? what blonde ? ::drool::
But then, I've liked the archetype ever since Vasquez in Aliens (verrry badazz chick)
And she can act, too! (unlike the blonde in RE)

Yea, I loved Michelle in Resident Evil, but hey, I loved Mila Jovovich too. Her english is almost perfect, certainly makes one wonder what Ahhhnooolds problem is. lol!
Michelle was all teeth and fire in Resident Evil, and I didn't connect this character and Vasquez in ALIENS, but good call - I'll mull that one. Michelles' presence onscreen chewed up the air in RE! Mila is great but I think one needs to really be good to stand out with Michelle around. And she did I think but it was a struggle.
Man, so sad I had to sell my Resident Evil DVD for smokes last summer. *sigh*
But let's not forget Mila in The Fifth Element, she was particularly intriguing.

Quote:? You know, I don't see this with Angelina Jolie, between movies she lets it all out *chuckle*. Ever notice? We aren't talking about Friends! *chuckle*, but I see your point. Thank the Goddess that Joss Whedon understands what men find sexy and has the balls to say to his actress - GAIN a few pounds.

I'd pay HER $9 to eat a sandwich, or something, or hell, some meatloaf for cryin out loud....
Damn poster child for anorexia nervosa, what happened to CURVES...
