Megan Fox as Lara Croft?
 

I've been hearing a lot of buzz lately, (including an article in, was it people magazine?) about Megan Fox replacing Angelina Jolie in a potential third Tomb Raider flick. As hot as I think Megan Fox is, I just don't see her as Tomb Raider material....


Just curious as to how everyone else feels about this...

Why not?

The first two movies were sh*t anyway.

I'd like her better than Angelina Jolie as Lara to be honest.

She's too dumb to fake British.

Now that, I'll give you.

Well, it would be rather fitting, seeing as Megan Fox tries to imitate Jolie wherever possible to levels where it gets ridiculous.

Also have the one picture that has made her an instant sex symbol:

I guess she could play Lara Croft, maybe in a pre-quel....? What makes Megan Fox so special anyway? She was okay as an actress in Transformers, but she's not that hot.

She needs bigger boobz.

I don't think so...being full breasted isn't necessarily a requirement to be attractive. I actually admire the fact that she is "natural" in a world where every celebrity and their mother gets implants.

Not to be attractive, but to be Lara Croft its necessary.

Yeah, what Brodie said. It's not for hotness, but to be able to play Lara Croft.

I don't know what your definition of natural is, Spike, but she definitely had work done on both her face and chest. Other than that I agree with Anarky that she'd be a good Jolie replacement for the reasons he mentioned.

Wasn't this rumor debunked like a week ago?

Yeah, she said called Lara Croft and Wonder Woman "dumb".

She totally dissed WW too. Not that I care, but she came across as kind of dumb when she went on about how she hated the Linda Carter show, when the character has been updated alot. But you can't blame her for not reading comics, watching JLU/ DC Universe movies, but still.

hopefully so. but its on the news stands now.

Megan Fox is a retard. Stories about her pop up on my Yahoo news all the time. It's always about her bragging about how she likes to have sex or how she wants to be a lesbian or whatever. She's an attention whore plain and simple. If she wants to call something dumb she need look no further then at herself in the mirror.

She needs talent.

I haven't even seen anything she's been in. Hell, I didn't know who she was before last week.

She tries to sound all wise, saying "all humans are born with the ability to be attracted to both sexes" (actual quote) and "I'm really cool because I smoke weed even though I'm hot!" (not an actual quote)

And I'm another who thinks she's really not that hot... I get called gay for thinking so, but she's just alright.

No ****, kid, but a big part of being a tomb raider is having huge tits. It's scientific fact.

She'd probably have a better chance of being a DOA girl, then.

Probably.

only retards use Yahoo.

No? They have huge tits, too.

Well, yeah, but do they have talent to back 'em up?

Is it true that Lara Croft's face was an after thought and she was originally planned to be just a curvaceous body?

Also true, yes.

Yeah, have you seen them fight? It takes talent to fight like that.

DoA Girls > Lara Croft

Actually, to be honest.. I never liked Tomb Raider.

Point taken.

I wasn't arguing that.

Game of the century. /thread

These days, it's becoming increasingly hard to tell...:o:o:o

But I don't know much about Megan Fox, anyway. I've seen her in Transformers and on the covers of Maxim and Esquire...it is quite possible that she has had work done...

However, I did see her on some recent movie awards show, bragging about TF 2 and generally being a pottymouth...

Yeah, Megan Fox is freaking hawt, but there is nothing in the world that could make any movie with the title "Tomb Raider" a good movie.

Besides, Tomb Raider sucks as a franchise anyway. I could never get over people who thought this was hot back in the 90's.

You're such a ****ing idiot, TMB, seriously.

Just because people wanted to play something without portly plumbers, it -must- suck, right?

They made Tomb Raiding movies previously, *******, called INDIANA JONES. So, its possible to make good tomb raiding adventure films, but no one capable of doing so will ever be incharge of the Tomb Raider movie franchise. I think that's what you meant to say.

And **** you for spelling it "hawt."

I tried to read some of the spin-off comics from the 90s and got a little disgusted...all you see is T&A shots...and the way it was written, it's really hard to see her as a serious protagonist...

Has anyone even played Tomb Raider Anniversary or Legend? Seriously?

There's no tit jiggle, no blatant ass shots, and no obscenely skimpy clothes. She looks like a real person and the games are fairly intelligent.

You're speaking to deaf ears, my friend. There's no changing a video game snobs opinion.

So you'd recommend it over all the others, then??

Of course I would. Hell, even TR: underworld was a decent game, it just falls into the pitfalls of the previous installments of the orioginal series, wherein its unrealistically difficult, and has a convulted storyline. Its still fun, it just didn't do well because it was hard, and the story was too hard for people to "Get."

Anniversary is one of the best TR games I've ever played, and Legend reinvented the TR series.

Its completely possible to do a TR movie, where it can be intelligent, and fun, and still have a worthwhile lead. Megan Fox wouldn't be the answer. Nor was Angelina Jolie. A decent TR movie can also get away with being a big tongue-in-cheek with the sexualized humor of the original series, as long as it doesn't depend on it.
