Jay 37,373 Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 But Liam Neeson has seemingly been keeping himself extraordinarily busy since his wife died, plus he's only 64 and hasn't won an Oscar or anything.

A24 4,346 Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 A few years ago he stopped doing silly Prince Of Persia roles and started doing offbeat movies, or rather, he went back to doing offbeat movies. That sounds like a thoughtful decision. Perhaps Life gives him the amount of money nobody can refuse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Perhaps he went back to offbeat because his Prince Of Persia type movies werent very successful and he didnt have a choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 I'm not sure I've seen enough of Vikander to say one way or the other. I guess this movie will give you a good idea of if she's suited for action! I'd have said something similar about Scarlett Johannsson pre-Black Widow. Back when I only knew her from Ghost World and Lost in Translation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Either way, this is all predicated on Vikander not being "sexy enough" which is insane to me, but your opinion to have of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 No one is saying Vikander isn't sexy, but I wouldn't immediately imagine her as Lara Croft. Simply a different type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,495 Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 She's in line with the Lara Croft of the past two pretty great games. Anyway, we got two shitty movies based on the original shitty version of this franchise. They finally made Tomb Raider games fun, so I'm at least on board for that. Although this movie will probably suck just by the Law of Video Game Movies Sucking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My response was predicted on your emoji reply (apparently you took issue with something). In the action shots as seen in the images above, she doesn't look anything like the Lara Croft I've played in half a dozen or more games over the years. I know nothing of the actress in other things, but here she looks physically unremarkable. Personally, I'd have preferred any number of other actors I could probably think of in the role, simply because I'd find them more aesthetically pleasing than this girl. Lara Croft was always a bit of a babe, it's an integral part of her appeal and success. 2 minutes ago, Disco Stu said: They finally made Tomb Raider games fun, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you say she could play the role of Croft too? I'm sorry you find my preference for a degree of faithfulness in the casting of this part offensive to your sensibilities. FYI, Angelina Jolie was useless in the role for my money, her TR movies were horrible. But she did have the silhouette of Lara Croft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,373 Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 I thought Alicia Vikander was great in Ex Machina but then didn't register one way or another at all in Seventh Son, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., or Jason Bourne so who knows how this will turn out.

Quintus 5,399 Posted February 6, 2017 Author Share Posted February 6, 2017 She's wearing pretty dresses there Steef, she looks cute and feminine. In those other promo pics on the set though you can see her frame is not dissimilar to Daisy Ridley's - another actress who would be unsuitable to play Lara Croft. Lauren Cohan was the best rumour surrounding the role in recent years. Pity it didn't come about, she'd have been ideal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 I agree both Ridley and Vikander don't conjure up the image of Laura Croft for me. Body type aside, doesnt the role require someone a bit older, late 20's, early 30's. Tough and grizzled, taller and athletic without being butch? This reminds me like how they cast Deanerys to play Sarah Conner. Two completely different kinds of "kick ass women". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
