It's a story that not only highlights her incredible physical accomplishments but delves deeper into her humanity,After the first official images from the new Tomb Raider film came online this week, more details about the upcoming video game movie have emerged.Director Roar Uthaug started off by telling GQ that filming is now wrapping up in South Africa and will move to London next. The film, which stars Alicia Vikander as Lara Croft, premieres in March 2018.It's no secret that video game movies have a generally poor track record when it comes to quality. Uthaug told GQ that he thinks the movie will resonate with fans of the series because it is inspired by and references "the entire Tomb Raider canon." There have been two Tomb Raider films already, starring Angelina Jolie. The new one is different in that it's an origin story for Croft, much like the 2013 video game."It's a story that not only highlights her incredible physical accomplishments but delves deeper into her humanity," Uthaug explained."I've seen the films--they were a lot of fun and Angelina Jolie was a terrific Lara Croft. We are [making] a very different film, an origin story and I think fans will love Alicia in the role," he added.The 2013 Tomb Raider reboot was partially the inspiration for the movie, and the film will contain "many touchstones" from the game. But Uthaug wants fans to know that the new movie is not like other video game adaptations, as it will focus more on practical effects instead of CGI (Michael Fassbender said the same thing about the Assassin's Creed movie)."Our movie takes a more realistic, grounded approach. Lara Croft is a hero and a champion but she is not a superhero. She is very much human, and we see her deal with that humanity in many ways," he said.You can read the full interview here at GQ, while some new images of Vikander as Croft can be seen in the Twitter embed above.The new Tomb Raider also features Walton Goggins (Sons of Anarchy) as the villain and Daniel Wu (Warcraft) as a ship captain who serves as an ally. The Wire's Dominic West plays Croft's father.As for the Tomb Raider game series, a sequel to 2015's Rise of the Tomb Raider has not been announced, but it is expected. The 2013 reboot has been described as part of a trilogy. A leak last year suggested the name of the third game is Shadow of the Tomb Raider.

For Angelina Jolie, teaming up with Guerlain is about more than a partnership. The award-winning actress and humanitarian told Hello! that she decided to partner with the French perfume brand because it reminds her of her late mother, Marcheline Bertrand, who died of ovarian cancer at the age of 56 in January 2007.Stars Who Beat Cancer.The First They Killed My Father director, who is the face of the brand’s new international scent Mon Guerlain, told the publication that Guerlain is a brand her mother loved and that she knew from her childhood.“It spoke to her, as it does to me, of beauty, history and quality,” she explained. “It's the oldest perfume house in the world, from France, a country I love and feel connected to and spend time in. As I talked to Guerlain about the artistry they devote to the making of the perfume and the way they work in communities, sourcing their ingredients, the pieces came together and I felt we were a match."
Brangelina: The Way They Were.While recalling her late mother, who was also an actress and humanitarian, Jolie shared that Bertrand was a very "natural" woman.“She never spoiled herself, never wore make-up, and wore modest jewelery, but she always had a few special items for when she wanted to feel like a lady,” she recalled. “One of those special items – and I remember it because it seemed so elegant – was her Guerlain powder (Ladies in All Climates). I think it speaks of all women having those few special things that make them feel feminine. And so when I was a little girl, I would associate Guerlain with that."For Jolie, who is the mom of six kids with estranged husband Brad Pitt, her go-to product is under eye concealer, she told Hello!, while also admitting that her approach towards aging is to appreciate life. "Maybe because my last decade has included many health scares and a focus on raising children, I am simply happy to be healthy, and above all that the children are healthy,” Jolie, who underwent a double mastectomy and later had her ovaries removed in March 2015, said. “There is nothing else to fear. It makes life clear.”

Angelina Jolie's brother James Haven has reportedly been let go by sister from his job as nanny to her brood.The 43-year-old former actor was allegedly employed by the Mr. & Mrs. Smith star to supervise the six nannies she employs - one for each child - in the wake of her split from former husband Brad Pitt. However, he was noticeably absent from the actress' entourage on a recent visit to London.Last September (16) DailyMail.com reported that Angelina had been leaving her children in the care of brother James and that he had accompanied her and the children to Cambodia where she was shooting a movie as well previously being spotted dashing through airports with the family on their travels.However, according to editors at Grazia, Angelina has "quietly dismissed" James from his role as head nanny, after she realised the job was taking a heavy toll on him. The former actor and his sister have always been extremely close. He famously came to the world's attention back in 2000 when Angelina and he kissed on the mouth at the Oscars where she won a Supporting Actress Academy Award for Girl, Interrupted."Things haven't been easy with Brad and Angelina's divorce, and James has done more than his fair share helping out while the family goes through a major upheaval," a source close to the star told Grazia. "But he's done. he's loved spending so much time with his nieces and nephews, but it's hard work and he's absolutely shattered.James was said to have overall responsibility for running the team of nannies responsible for the former couple's children; Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and twins Vivienne and Knox, but with such a large brood, the role soon spilled over into managing the household too."It was his job to be there if any of the kids woke up during the night and to deal with the nannies if they had any issues. He was virtually running the household and it became very draining," the source added. "She was worried about how exhausted he looked and realised he needed a break. Brad is coming back into the kids' lives, so things have calmed down a little. She's grateful that James was there, but knows she can't rely on him every step of the way."The news comes as Angelina visited London last week (14Mar17) to deliver a lecture at the London School of Economics Centre for Women, Peace & Security about how rape is used as a tool of war.“I hope I do well,” she told reporters ahead of the lecture. “This is very important to me.”

Despite their looming divorce, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are embarking on a new joint business venture. The two actors are now selling their own extra-virgin olive oil, called Miraval Olive Oil. The gourmet product is produced in partnership with Famille Perrin (a.k.a. the Perrin family) on 26 acres of land at Château Miraval, the couple's $60 million, 1,100-acre French villa. People reports that the olive oil has been available in France for several weeks on the Perrin family's website in three-pack units for $30 per bottle, as well as in two small Perrin family-run boutiques in Aix-en-Provence and Châteauneuf-du-Pape. A spokesman tells People that the first release of the product only included 10,000 bottles.Famille Perrin's website describes Miraval Olive Oil as "sweet oil with notes of almond, hazelnut, and artichoke barigoule. The palate is peppery and presents aromas of freshly cut grass. The finish is suave, spicy, and the bitterness at the end of the palate gives it a very beautiful balance." The high-quality, cold-pressed oil is packaged in a black bottle crafted from dyed-black sandstone, which helps protect it from damaging UV rays.This is not Jolie and Pitt's first time using their expansive French château for business. Back in 2013 they started bottling and selling a rosé, simply called Miraval, with winegrower Marc Perrin of Famille Perrin.
