Warners Bros set to Reboot the Tomb Raider Franchise!Submitted by DangeloGreen on Thursday, 29 January 2009No CommentWarners Bros. and producer Dan Lin are in the early stages of developing a revamping the popular video game action franchise, Tomb Raider.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the project is expected to revamp the character and her mission and bear little resemblance to the original pictures that starred Angelina Jolie: Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle Of Life. The new project will reimagine the origins of the character, her love interest and the main villain.
There’s been crazy rumors floating around the net that Megan Fox was set to star, but her reps stated that she has no involvement whats so ever in the franchise.
‘DINNER FOR ONE’ starring British comedian Freddie Frinton is a cult classic in Germany and across various European countries — shown every New Year’s Eve. Yet still remains relatively unknown to British audiences. A lonely upper-class Englishwoman, Miss Sophie (May Warden), hosts a dinner every New Year’s Eve for her long-dead admirers: Mr Pommeroy, Mr Winterbottom, Sir Toby and Admiral von Schneider.Her butler, James (Freddie Frinton), makes his way around the table playing each of the guests in turn. As he does so, he drinks each guest’s share of the wine, becoming more inebriated and familiar and repeatedly trips over a tiger skin on the floor.The vital exchange is: “The same procedure as last year, Miss Sophie?”"The same procedure as every year, James!”
no one took things quite so far as the author of a Financial Times editorial who left no pun unturned: Producers of parmigiano in the Emilia-Romagna region smell the pungent whiff of trouble. With many selling their cheese at below cost, parmigiano makers are facing the prospect of going out of business – some are even using their cheese as collateral against bank loans they are using to pay for workers’ salaries. Now Luca Zaia, the big cheese for agriculture in the Italian government, has intervened, announcing a €50m bail-out for the celebrated formaggio. The move has already grated producers of other cheese varieties. Makers of buffalo mozzarella, for instance, fear that without dipping into a fondue of government cash they too may fall by the whey-side. The blood of some economic observers has curdled at the thought of the Italian government rescuing any and every industry facing difficulty. Unlike the cheese itself, the case for protecting parmigiano has not been easy for some to digest.
