It seemed that her ex-hubby used to be a great fan of the hugely popular computer game and would spend hours whiling his time on Lara, so much so that Jolie viewed her as 'competition'. Now that she's playing Lara on the silver screen, it is 'a woman's revenge'.

Jolie is currently married to Billy Bob Thornton (of Sling Blade, Pushing Tin and Armageddon fame) and apparently, his two kids think that it is 'absolutely cool' that their step-mom will be playing Lara.

Jolie received raves for her role as a tough-as-nails lady cop opposite Denzel Washington in The Bone Collector and subsequently won a Best Supporting Actress award for Girl, Interrupted. Now an A-list actress, she is cast opposite Nicholas Cage in Gone In 60 Seconds. The movie is scheduled for released in Malaysia in August.
