[RUMOR] Kim Kardashian to be next Lara Croft

With Angelina Jolie busy adopting the world, the role of buxom adventurer Lara Croft in the next Tomb Raider movie is up for grabs.

And blow me down with a feather, famed thespian Kim Kardashian appears to be in with a chance, with “Hollywood insiders” claiming negotiations are ongoing between Kardashian’s people and Paramount Pictures. I’m perversely looking forward to Kardashian’s attempts at deploying a cut-glass English accent.

The next Tomb Raider movie will reportedly represent a “reboot” for the franchise, with the next film featuring “a far more comic strip version of Lara which would be shot in 3D and aimed at a teen audience.”

Kardashian is supposedly taking acting classes in case she is the next Lara, which is a bit like taking fine art lessons in preparation for finger-painting, but hell, it’s her money.
