Apparently, Angelina Jolie is going through heavy training to play Lara Croft in the upcoming feature film version of the Eidos video game Tomb Raider. "I've been in England for three weeks, and we're there over a month more, just doing training," Jolie remarks.

The Lara Croft Training Program includes a variety of "bungee ballet, diving, weapons training with special forces and kick-boxing," Jolie said. "I'll train through the whole film. It's been great for me at this time in my life. I get up and do yoga at 7:30, which is insane. And I'm on protein shakes. They've taken my cigarettes and alcohol and sugar away from me." It's amazing how a person still ticks after something that traumatic.

Jolie added that she will be sharing the movie screen with her new husband, Billy Bob Thornton. "Billy's playing a barber (laughs). He's cutting hair, and I'm shooting guns." Chicks and guns, sweet.
