Jolie Has Unusual Request

Actress Angelina Jolie has placed an unusually domesticated condition on her return in the second instalment of the "Lara Croft - Tomb Raider" movie series.

Jolie has said she will only reprise her action-heroine role if producers provide on set child-care facilities for her newly adopted son.

The star and her husband Billy Bob Thornton adopted nine-month-old Maddox in Cambodia earlier this year. Jolie is said to be revelling in her new role as a mother, so much so she couldn't bear to be parted from her baby for the duration of the two-month shoot. Studio honchos are hardly likely to object to her demand ... after all the film is called "Lara Croft and the Cradle of Life!"
