Batu69 Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Alicia Vikander has been confirmed as Lara Croft in a new Tomb Raider film, it has emerged. Miss Vikander, whose previous roles in Ex Machina, A Royal Affair and The Danish Girl have earned her both worldwide acclaim and an Oscar, is said by many to be the perfect choice for the role and I find myself agreeing wholeheartedly. I remember being completely captivated by her performance as Ava, the enigmatic yet beautiful robot in Ex Machina, which I found haunting and beguiling, not to mention her role as Gerda in The Danish Girl, which she completely nailed. And all this time, I thought she was British. It had long been thought that Daisy Ridley would take the role previously played by Angelina Jolie in Tomb Raider (2001) and Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of life (2003), along with some other honorable mentions such as Gemma Arterton, Emilia Clarke and Cara Delevingne. Of course, since the first two films in the early 2000’s, Lara Croft has undergone some fundamental changes, none more so than in the total reboot game Tomb Raider in 2013. Gone are the oversized DD breasts, figure hugging wet suits and 80’s hot pants. Lara is now the thinking man’s archaeologist who now resembles a human being, but also happens to pack quite a punch when she needs to. Having said that, Alicia Vikander, at least in the interviews I’ve watched, comes across as a completely natural and down to earth woman, free from any airs and graces and fortunately untainted by that pretentiousness that Hollywood often infects actors with.

Fallon Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Alicia Vikander is a trained ballet dancer who can act, having been both at the Royal Swedish Ballet School in Stockholm and at the School of American Ballet in New York. Ridley doesn't have that and the others are older at that. Vikander also seems to come without airs and graces, unlike Jolie, who was known to use a tennis ball as a stand-in to kiss, at times. For boobies cup size, there is always the Wonderbra! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
