What's New With Angelina Jolie:

Angelina Talks About "Tomb Riader"

The new Lara Croft explains how she's getting ready for the role.
Angelina Jolie has been picked to play the screen version of 'Tomb Raider' icon Lara Croft in the forthcoming film, and the actress tells Popcorn how she's going to be working with the SAS to get ready for the part.

"They want to bring me to England to do it," says Jolie who became interested in the SAS through her ex-husband Jonny Lee Miller. "He loves the SAS. He's fascinated with everything to do with that world and he's got me hooked."

With regard to playing Lara, Angelina says she's really excited about the project, but is a bit worried about what hardcore Lara fans might think about her performance. "I hope England will allow me to do it because I know she's one of your girls." She obviously didn't hear the cheers from the entire male population go up when she won the part.

'Tomb Raider' is due to begin production in the summer.
