A fair percentage of fans of the game argue that the movie adaptations are a poor tribute to their video game heritage, though Jolie, after some initial published criticism mostly centered around her being an American playing a British character, was considered an ideal choice for the role of Lara Croft. Plans for a third movie were revealed in early 2004, but according to CNN they were cancelled due to the box office failure of The Cradle of Life.
