Wrong. It would transcend film entirely, elevated to the glorious perfection of the visual arts. We may as well blow ourselves up after that. There's nothing left to accomplish.Handsome Dead said:
We need to find his agent's email. NOW.
Kim Kardashian is not a star in any sense of the word, has little acting experience, and is pretty much a reality TV hack. It should definitely NOT be her.
Megan Fox is an okay choice, whatever people think she's not really a bad actress, the question is, is she really the right sort of actress for such a role?
Allison Carrol is English, she's the person who does all the motion capture and everything for Lara Croft in the games, and she has gymnastic experience, as well as the right look for the role. She's easily the best choice of the three, provided she can get the acting right.
Overall though, the actress has to be English since the character is also English (Angelina Jolie is a great actress and I really like her, but whoever cast her originally in the films should be shot). She also has to have good acting experience, the right sort of physique and athleticism to handle the role, and have some experience in similar roles. Personally, I'd say Keira Knightley (oooh, controversial). She fits pretty much all the rules I just listed and she's a great actress, so she could probably pull off the role quite well. For the same reasons I'd also have Rachel Weisz as a choice, again, she's a great actress who fits those rules perfectly
.
So yeah, I say either Keira Knightley or Rachel Weisz.

I'm gonna have to say Yvonne Strahovski, with brown hair though, a blonde Lara wouldn't look right
Agreed on your first two points. I can't agree on the third because I don't know who Kim Kardashian is.coldalarm said:
Could someone clarify that bit?
OT: Allison Carol, as a 100% yes.
While I don't condone violence against filmmakers (even Michal Bay), the people who may claim the blame for choosing Angelina are the Casting Directors. In this case, the notable Hubbard family is responsible.Trivun said:
I will also disagree that she was poorly cast - it made for a more successful movie overall, rather than completely relying on the game's fanbase to generate interest. While this may seem like a bad idea initially, it's comparative success over other videogame-based films like the Resident Evil series, Bloodrayne, and Max Payne makes it worth "selling out" in this particular case.
We didn't get the "Indiana Jones as a girl vs. a T-Rex" experience I would have liked, but the first film still stands as a pretty solid adventure movie, if a bit dated. I'd even go as far as to say it's better than "Indiana Jones and his kid find aliens." I'll take a crappy UK accent over CG monkeys any day.
Megan fox is on this list? How did that happen? Oh, right, transformers.
Jessica Alba gets my vote.
Jessica Alba gets my vote.
That gal who played Sarah Palin in that awesome DvD.
But, since she is probably not the best actress(Although she was great as Sarah Palin,) I'd say Carroll.

Kim Kardashian, way hotter then the other two AND the Lara Croft movies are NEVER about acting or action scenes or anything, it's all about the big tits and tight suits
