Megan Fox is just the under $1m version of Angelina Jolie. If she does this it will just be a cheaply produced version. On Wed, Jan 28, 2009 at 4:46 PM, ravenadal wrote: > I can see human barbie-doll Megan Fox as Lara Croft. There is > something very fetishistic about the whole Lara Croft fran

Megan Fox, definitely. She has that young crazy blood vial wearing tongue kissing her brother angelina vibe. Might as well be consistent. --- On Thu, 1/29/09, B. Smith wrote: From: B. Smith Subject: [scifinoir2] Re: Tomb Raider Franchise to Get Reboot--Without Jolie? To: scifinoir2

"Pitfall". Oh Gawd, that's funny! I guess I don't care about the name either. I could care less about the attachment to a video game. Like I said, the main thing I saw was that Jolie could care a better crafted film, and that her and Butler in teh second movie were so good together, I kept thin

Both good choices. Mitra has the look for an action hero. Like Jolie, her facial structure is already skulpted with that permanent serious look.and a plus she has a real accent, too. Robinson might be good. I was quite taken with her in "The Namesake". Onscreen for a short time, but oh-so alluri

Good suggestions all. The thing is even though they made Tomb Raider movies they never really captured the feel of the games. They are pretty mundane action movies where the games had supernatural and fantastic elements that made them very fun. Seeing something closer to the spirit of the games

Rhona Mitra is a bit of it girl at the moment as well and she actually has a bit of a connection to the Tomb Raider franchise. And she can do the action heroine quote well. My choice would be Zuleikha Robinson from Rome and The Namesake. She's probably a bit too exotic for Hollywood to cast but

I base my "feral" comment not so much on Fox's film work as on her reported real life. Apparently, the tattooed Fox is quite a gonzo girl. "Every time I get a tattoo, it's a little fuck-you to anyone who tells me not to. It's weird to be part of Hollywood, which tries to control every aspect of

Fox is way too thin for my tastes and, in fact, was threatened with unemployment - once - unless she gained weight. That said, she is undeniably an "IT" girl. Esquire readers practically lost their collective minds when she was the cover girl. There is an intangible thing stars have and, for wha

Well said, as always. Fox as "feral"? Hmmm... she certainly can look the part in posing for pics, but never seen it in the acting. I guess the move toward more of a "Barbie Doll" figure then it already is just bugs me. -- Original message -- From: "ravenadal" >

Okay, once and for all, Megan Fox = lips. She pouts well. That's it. She is entirely too skinny. Lara Croft = tight top and shorts with boots. Any actress that can convincingly play a teenager is NOT ready for Lara Croft. I sense that the studio is pulling a "Defiant" on Jolie (hmmm, and

I can see human barbie-doll Megan Fox as Lara Croft. There is something very fetishistic about the whole Lara Croft franchise and Fox brings with her a similar internet based cult of personality. Although Jolie is a good actress (and good actors make good superhero movies), acting has nothing
