First Pics of Tomb Raider movie

She feels very Lara Croft in Danish Girl. Confident, but cocky/sarcastic in a way that sort of rides the line of being charming and mean.

For some reason, I thought this was going to be Emilia Clarke :p

Pics look decent but video game movies don't have the best track record so we'll see....

Don't worry, I'll vouch for them.

This could be a still from Black Sails.

Lol at people who complain about her not looking "Lara Croft" enough. Virtually no one looks like Lara Craft, she is the very definition of male wish fulfillment. Massive breasts, tiny waist, full lips, and a tall figure... Women like that exist but they aren't exactly plentiful.

Another thread with people not getting that acting is way more important for a convincing adaption than looking exactly like Lara Croft.

Lara isn't a particular deep character anyway and if Vikander puts in a miniscule of effort she will fill that role with ease.
 
I liked her casting but these pictures dont really say Tomb Raider to me.

Gonna wait for a trailer where she cries about her father issues before judging.

The official pictures are pretty bad.

But the leaked ones are amazing.

I'm sure she'll do great.

They also have Walton Goggins.

So yeah the movie........... is promising.

Tony Stark: Daddy Issues

Thor: Daddy Issues

Spiderman: Uncledaddy Issues

Marty Mcfly : Daddyisajerkissues

Starlord: Mommy Issues + Unknowndaddy issues

Jonny 5 : Creator Issues.

Jaws : Brody Issues
Yeah, "daddy issues" always sounds way too dismissive. Lots of great characters have daddy/mommy issues, it all depends on the execution. (which admittedly wasn't all that great in the new Tomb Raider games)

Thank the lord that this isn't the case. I don't think I've ever seen Clarke be good or convincing in anything. Annoyed that she's playing Han's love interest in the spin off when Phoebe Waller Bridge is right there.

Oscar winning actress who looks very similar to the reboot game character is not good enough for NeoGaf? I hate these threads.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
Wait is this thread gonna devolve into the usual bullshit like with Gal Gadot?

Does this actress celebrate the killing of random Palestinians?

Lots of preemptive judging based on a couple of stills with no context behind them, some people already predicting this will be the only setting in the film, tell me what you peeps are drinking to have such a foresight.

It's Tomb Raider 2013. They could have done the entire thing in one setting. Apparently they're going to show some of her home life in this but I doubt they'll spend much time on it.
I'm 99.9% sure I know who that guy in the still is, too.

She's not scratched up enough. Too Hollywood pretty for a survivor (talking about makeup only, not her looks), hopefully that changes as the movie goes.

That said she's an incredibly promising actress imo, so I have no doubt she'll give a great performance.
