GameSpot UK has a news bit on that new Tomb Raider freebie that's coming soon, including their announcement that they'll have an exclusive one-level demo available for download on April 22. For those Lara fans out there who aren't satisfied with the free add-on or her upcoming commercial debut (see story), you'll be pleased to know that wheels are turning on that much talked about, and even more delayed Tomb Raider movie. Here's the news, care of Dark Horizons:

At last, things are moving on the film adaption of one of the decades most famous computer games. Variety reports that Paramount has put the adenture flick on the fast track, with plans to make it their big film release during Summer 2000. Paramount won the rights to turn the project into a feature film last year, with various writers developing scripts - none of which have caught their eye, till now. Scribe Steven de Souza ("Street Fighter") submitted a draft which Paramount snapped up right away and has deemed it ready for development, with Director Stephen Herek ("Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure", "Mr. Holland's Opus") very likely to helm it. No word on who'll be playing the buxom Lara Croft as yet, but you can bet when it is announced the Net will go wild.
