Women Are Moving Beyond Their Franchises
Last week (was it really only a week ago?), the latest in the Underworld franchise was released, sans Kate Beckinsale. Now, there is talk of making a third Tomb Raider film without Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft. Rumors are swirling that Megan Fox will be the new Lara Croft.
These two women gained worldwide fame since the release of their action films, and now they have moved to more artistic endeavors.
Jolie has been ever-present at awards shows the past couple years, with her roles in A Mighty Heart and The Changeling.
Beckinsale has been very open lately about the fact that she made the Underworld movies and the abyssmal Van Helsing simply to make money to support her daughter. I am glad for Beckinsale that she can return to the types of movies that make her proud, not rich. My husband, of course, isn’t sure why anyone would bother seeing an Underworld movie with Beckinsale. (He is not alone, as one writer likened her decision to hatred of men.)
