Olivia Wilde says she is not starring in Tomb Raider reboot

Actress Olivia Wilde has revealed that she is not going to act in the upcoming Tomb Raider reboot, which will have the script of Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby. Recently, it was rumored that the actress would reprise the role of Lara Croft in the untitled reboot. She says that she is happy because people think that she deserves the role.

Tomb Raider is an action-adventure game, centring around the adventures of the fictional British archaeologist Lara Croft. Earlier, Angelina Jolie played the character in the 2001 and 2003 movies. The recent reports suggested that Jolie may not be returning to the role of Lara Croft.

Meanwhile, the reports also indicated that Olivia Wilde would essay the role of Lara Croft in the film. But in a recent interview with MTV, the actress has denied the reports. She said, “As far as I know right now, I'm not playing Lara Croft. No. That's really cool that people think I should play her. That's nice of them."

However, with the hiring of Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby as script writers, the Tomb Raider reboot is moving an inch closer to realization. Graham King's GK Films acquired the film rights. King has planned produce the movie with Tim Headington and release it in 2013.

Olivia Wilde Brings the Quote of the Day

Olivia Wilde Brings the Quote of the Day

Striving for physical perfection takes a lot of energy. For me it’s important to come home from work, cook a meal, and spend the afternoon reading a book, instead of always running around.

Olivia Wilde was so excited when she spoke with President Barack Obama during a phone call that she embarrassed herself after she thought she had hung up the phone.

She explains in the latest issue of Cosmopolitan magazine: "He was calling to thank me for traveling to Iowa in October 2007 to volunteer for the campaign. I was very professional the whole time we spoke, then I hung up the phone -- or so I thought -- and started squealing for about 15 seconds. I later found out from a friend who was with him that he listened to the shrieking and laughed the entire time."

Olivia recently ended her eight-year marriage to Italian prince Tao Ruspoli. She's recently been linked to indie star Ryan Gosling though neither has confirmed the romantic entanglement.

Olivia Wilde: "Welcome to People" Worker

Olivia Wilde: "Welcome to People" Worker

Hard at work on her latest project, Olivia Wilde was spotted on the set of “Welcome to People” in Los Angeles, CA on Friday (March 4).

The “TRON: Legacy” babe looked cute and casual in jeans, tennis shoes and a striped zip-up as she took a short break from filming to send a few quick texts.

Perhaps, the beautiful brunette was chatting with rumored fling, Ryan Gosling. The two were spotted together at an Oscar party last weekend.

They also spent some time in Cincinatti, Ohio earlier this week, paying a visit to the Newport Aquarium during Gosling’s break from filming “The Ides of March.”

Olivia Wilde Attends CES In Las Vegas: Blackberry Booth

 

 Olivia Wilde Attends CES In Las Vegas: Blackberry Booth

‘Tron’ star Olivia Wilde was one of the many celebrities who visited The Blackberry Booth during the 2011 CES. The expo is currently being held at Las Vegas Convention Center in Nevada and I know a TON of people who flew down to take part in the action.

Looks like Lara Spencer was doing the interviewing.

Anyone else miss Olivia Wilde on ‘House’? I still watch the show because I absolutely love the rest of the cast, but Olivia Wilde was SO GREAT. I’m glad to see she’s moving on to film, but it would be nice to see 13 again.

Olivia Wilde Felt “Challenged” To Fit Into Tron Suit

 Olivia Wilde Felt “Challenged” To Fit Into Tron Suit

I don’t have rights to any of the pictures of Olivia Wilde in her ‘Tron: Legacy‘ suit, but you can click here to see one. Goodness! No wonder she found it “challenging” to fit into that costume.

“I’m so proud to be in a suit that was created by fifty technicians and engineers, complete with wires and lights running through it. I saw it being built slowly through the months and then bang it just lit up,” Wilde gushed to Pop Tarts at the film’s grandiose premiere in Hollywood over the weekend. “But it did take a few hours just to get into it.”

Olivia said she had to undergo a “grueling” martial arts workout for her role, which probably helped her fit into that suit!

“It was an effort to get into that suit, but if I was a real astronaut I wouldn’t expect that to be easy either. It’s all part of the process, it’s a challenge and that is what creates the rewards,” she continued. “I’ve still got a pretty mean roundhouse kick. I don’t think I could fight with a sword anymore, I’ve lost all my arm muscles, but it was pretty amazing to learn all these techniques and if we do another one I’ll learn them all again!”

Are you looking forward to seeing ‘Tron: Legacy’?

Olivia Wilde And Jeff Bridges Attend ‘Tron: Legacy’ UK Premiere

 Olivia Wilde And Jeff Bridges Attend ‘Tron: Legacy’ UK Premiere

Olivia Wilde and Jeff Bridges braved what was reportedly a cold British night to attend the UK premiere of ‘Tron: Legacy.’ While talking to reporters on the red carpet, Jeff confessed he had doubts if he should reprise his role (he starred in the 1982 ‘Tron’ movie) as developer Kevin Flynn.

“I had a little bit of hesitation. They assured me it wasn’t just beautiful eye candy and it would be a good story. They came up with one and I am thrilled with it. It’s wonderful. I had heard the rumors for so long. It’s a real ride.”

Olivia plays Quorra in ‘Tron: Legacy.’ I just want to know: where’s Garrett Hedlund, the star of the movie?

Oh well. I think Olivia’s dress is meant to remind us of the colorful Tron costumes: good idea!

… and won the pancake eating contest with such an incredible (!?) result:

“I entered the contest only because they said a woman could never win, and that’s a surefire way to get me to do something.

“I’ve always had a huge appetite and don’t get full easily, so I guess I was meant to be a competitive eater… But I’d never do it again.”

Olivia Wilde To Play Justin Timberlake’s Mother In New Movie

 Olivia Wilde To Play Justin Timberlake’s Mother In New Movie

‘Alpha Dog’ co-stars Justin Timberlake and Olivia Wilde are re-teaming in a new project. But get this: Olivia is going to play Justin’s mother. Nevermind that she’s three years younger. It doesn’t sound so ridiculous when you hear what the project’s about, though. Here it is, as described by E! News:

The still-untitled film takes place in a society where people stop aging at 25, and time, not money, is the currency.

Timberlake and Wilde will star alongside Amanda Seyfried, and 31-year-old Mad Men star Vincent Karthesier, who plays Seyfried’s father.

Okay, so that works- lol. Justin is setting up projects left and right: it does look like music is going to the back burner for a very long time. Have you had a chance to see Justin in ‘The Social Network’? He’s great! And it’s expected to be the #1 movie this weekend, too. (imnotobsessed)
