Film School Rejects: Discuss: Should Megan Fox Tomb Raid as Lara Croft?

  • GuiltyTrace · 10 months ago
    When you ask if she's big enough, we're still talking shoes - right? Anyway, she's a total babe and all (A+ on the featured pic), but I don't think Tomb Raider needs to be explored any further than it already has. They popped out two films and the video game franchise hasn't had anything to brag about since back when the first film was put together. Isn't Fox carrying Jennifer's Body?

    Megan Fox, the whore of Hollywood. How the hell actually thinks she is sexy? Angelina did the first 2, it was great I love and own each of them. There is no reason why this ugly bimbo should even get the part. She doesn't know how to act, there is no way she can do Lara Croft justice. Please Warner Bros. If you read any blog, You need to understand, Megan Fox will stink up the series. It wont be good, people won't watch it, period.

    Couldn't be any worse than Angelina Jolie was....plus Fox has some action film experience going into it....I'm more interested in who they'll get to direct because there were quality actors involved with the series (Chris Barrie, Daniel Craig, Gerard Butler, Noah Taylor, Djimon Hounsou, Til Schweiger) but rather lame directing and writing....

    she's hot but she can't act.

    sorry, but Angelina Jolie will ALWAYS be Lara Croft... but maybe if they turn this into a franchise series like James Bond, then why not?

    "she's hot but she can't act. "

    BINGO!

    Ehh...As much as I want to see Megan Fox in that infamous suit, this is Angelina's role...it just won't feel right even though it would look perfectly fine.

    I'm all for recasting Jolie. I think she is the most over rated actress of all time. But Megan Fox? Come on. Why do they have to use some actress with a recognizeable name? Just cast some unknown. It'll be better for the film because it wont carry the expectations that come with a recognizable name as the titular character.

    I guess as long as it's not Angelina Jolie, I'm a happy man.
  • _Christopher_M · 10 months ago
    I agree I loath her so-called acting....she's so abrasive and robot-like in her performances...recasting and rebooting is a great idea...I'd rather like it if they steered clear of the fantasy elements and went more Bond/Indiana it would be nice to see a female version of Jones...if it's an actual trained actress playing Croft it would be nice as well...

    Really, Lara Croft has never been a nuanced protagonist, in either movies or games. You could use any hot starlet to portray her and tah-dah,mission accomplished, watch the money flow in.

    Megan Fox is just a poor mans Angelina.
  • _Christopher_M · 10 months ago
    if that poor man was against plastic surgery and eating disorders...

    Megan Fox should come and just raid me...
  • roXet · 10 months ago
    No, it wouldn't be "cool" because Tomb Raider sucks, and has always sucked.

    First they need a decent story and script, then look for an actress.
  • Jon Stephens · 10 months ago
    Damn right they do. Fix the story, and the movie could be all sorts of awesome.
  • hage · 10 months ago
    well.. just follow the comics? i think megan could pull it off. but the cup size would still need improvements. this IS lara we re talking bout.
  • Aleric · 10 months ago
    100 cc of saline will take care of that.
  • Jon Stephens · 10 months ago
    Or they could just digitally enhance it like Sommers did to Sienna Miller in G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra
  • praisecanti · 10 months ago
    Why not have Alison Carroll do it? She is in fact the current model for Lara Croft and has an extreme skill in acrobats.
  • Aleric · 10 months ago
    But can she act? Looking good only goes so far.
  • HAGE · 9 months ago
    and she does such a good job at it

    Megan will be my Wonder Woman/Diana Prince fantasy 4ever not Lara Croft. I'm still pushing her to be Wonder Woman instead of Megan Gale.
  • jack2jack · 10 months ago
    According to Cinematical.com, Fox's rep denies she's involved in anyway, shape or form. They are lobbying for the original gal herself, British actress Rhona Mitra. She has my vote! I have had it with Princess Poutty Lips.
  • Jon Stephens · 10 months ago
    Fine Choice. I'll watch Mitra as Laura Croft!
  • jack2jack · 10 months ago
    I'm at a lost as to why they did not cast her from the start. It's not like Angelina was that famous, family name aside.
  • David G · 10 months ago
    Yes Fox should be the new Croft. Jolie's getting old and it doesnt take acting skills to be Lara. Just make sure her shorts are shorter than Jolie's were. : )=
  • michael · 10 months ago
    only if she is naked
  • Rare Artifact · 10 months ago
    A new Lara Croft wouldn't hurt, but what it really needs are better writers and directors.
  • jack2jack · 10 months ago
    Can the church say amen to that!
  • Kris Avalon · 10 months ago
    I see Megan playing Wonder Woman more than I see her playing Lara Croft. If I had a choice in casting, i would pick Rhona Mitra . She's english, beautiful and was a model for Lara Croft back in the day. i think Tomb Raider needs a good script in the vein of The Dark Knight to be a great film. Is it really that hard to write a film about a female treasure hunter without thinking of material for 14-year olds to masturbate to?
  • Tmak209 · 10 months ago
    Love me some Megan Fox! Smoking hot!

    Look, she'll be just fine if she wears a super tight white tee and shorter shorts than Jolie did. It's harder to imagine Jolie as a sex symbol than it is for Megan Fox.

    I can only hope this ends up to be legit. But I doubt it...
