This looks fantastic!

 

[JeremyEtcetera]

There is no curse.

Mortal Kombat 1
Resident Evil 1
Silent Hill 1
Tomb Raider 1

All decent/good films.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

I can't tell if you just made that up or it's actually the plot because in those sentences it seems very simple and generic.

Then again it's a video game film.

That sounds like your typical Tomb Raider plot.

 

[AcademicSaucer]

Couldnt she atleast have won some muscle mass ? She is too skinny .

Fixed. It was DailyMail link, weird.

 

[Falchion]

Definitely looks like (reboot) Lara Croft.

Just what I was thinking, looks just like her.

 

[Wanderer5]

That is reboot Lara alright. Alicia looks good.

EW, searched both "Tomb Raider" and "Alicia Vikander".
WTF?

 

[brandonh83]

looks like it will be disappointing.

Odds are that it won't be very good, but still, basing this on set photos?

 

[Spiral Insanity]

Based off reboot? :/

What did you think?

 

[Inferno313]

Do you guys think we'll ever have a thread about an actress starring in a film that doesn't devolve into discussions of her body?

No?

Ok...

It says that on IMBD.

 

[Plumpbiscuit]

They're basing the reboot of the terrible reboots... Tomb Raider really is a beaten horse at this point. What happened to the classic Lara AKA best female character in a game?

 

[Maintenance]

I like Vikander and it's such a shame she's wasting her time with this. I really like her acting and this will probably have none.

Being based on the shitty 2013 game is the cherry on top.

 

[LiK]

Wow, she got jacked for it.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

The actress has decent muscles. Lara isn't a muscular character.

 

[NeoRaider]

Classic Lara is probably resting somewhere. Replaced by better Lara.

 

[komorebi]

Never heard of her but she looks like a spitting image of Lara. Hope the movie is decent

 

[Kifimbo]

Looks like pictures taken from a Survivor immunity challenge.

 

[WonkyPanda]

Watch Ex Machina immediately!

 

[BadWolf]

Please don't suck.

Okie dokie

Ok...

I've not been in any threads like that, I don't think...but I can understand it with the subject matter in this case.

You sort of have this long history with the "idea" of what Lara looks like. There's nothing wrong with changing that idea, but one has to expect it to be there.

I think this actress matches the newer look of Lara from the game reboots though. Joli was a great choice for old-school Lara....but I'm also a bit of a fan of hers too, lol.

The new Tomb Raider was a good game though. The majority and critics/reviewers thought the same.

 

[sirap]

That actually looks quite decent. She could pass as a UFC strawweight fighter.

 

[Bladenic]

Why is she pouring a bottle of water on her chest in one image? Lmao

 

[eXistor]

If they're basing it on the rebooted TR's then I'd keep my expectations in check.

 

[Spukc]

looking great

 

[Finaika]

Why is she pouring a bottle of water on her chest in one image? Lmao

Because she's hot?

 

[Mushroomer25]

Buried in the nostalgic crypt of the late 90's, where she belongs.

 

[Radio]

It's a health potion.

 

[Okami Haundo]

I really hope this movie turns out well. Alicia is a fantastic actress and the Tomb Raider reboot features my favorite version of Lara Croft. High hopes!

 

[LiK]

look sweaty

 

[SargerusBR]

Sold

Strange how suddenly the rebooted games are perceived as terrible.

"Classic" Lara is gone, thank god. What made her the best, in your opinion?

 

[Plasma]

Eh? Both of the new games are pretty good.

 

[BadWolf]

From the story/character standpoint they are pretty damn terrible.

 

[Mushroomer25]

Strange how suddenly the rebooted games are perceived as terrible.

It's also really amazing how the sudden shift in GAF's opinion on the new series just coincidentally happened at the same time at RoTR being announced as a timed Microsoft exclusive. Super wierd how those two totally unrelated events just happened to coincide like that.

Whenever an actress is playing the role of an established character it always devolves into her face, breast, body, ass, and age. When a dude gets a role as long as he looks confident in it we have no problem. They can be way off but we'll give them a chance without question. We put way too much pressure on actresses to look perfect.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

"Classic" Lara is gone, thank god. What made her the best, in your opinion?

For me, her personality. I don't mind new Lara, I just prefer the old one.

 

[jond76]

I would love to see the island story. Judging by her outfit... is that what they are doing? Good initial vibes!

Yeah, I forgot that classic Lara was always known for her large muscles.

Oh wait.

Performance matters much more than physical appearance, and I'm sure Vikander will do just great.

It will be based on first reboot game.
But i am not sure about the story.

What was the old one? Amounted to one liners and little else.

 

[The_White_Rose]

Yeah, she is.

They're not.

 

[FunkyPajamas]

Watch Ex Machina immediately!

I knew her name sounded familiar, thanks!

Ah, Danish Girl and UNCLE as well. Heh, I'm getting old.

 

[deadscreensky]

I'm not particularly interested in Tomb Raider anything, but Vikander has been great in everything I've seen her in so I hope this continues that trend.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

Nah, that's not true.

I'm talking about Legend/Underworld Lara btw.
