I mean, Milla can kick better assess than Angie ever can I positively think.

If they cast her in this movie, the movie is going to bomb just like Jennifer's Body. She is not a good actress, all she is is eye candy. They need to pick an actress that actually can act. They should keep Angelina Jolie, if they don't, the movie is going to bomb. There is no way Megan Fox can be Lara, she can't act.

Did you not see her in Firefly? Anyway, sure Megan Fox looks the part, but in my opinion she can't really act. She just good at...looking good. Anne Hathaway would be an interesting pic, as would Rosario Dawson. I wouldn't go with Nikki Reed even though I like her as an actress. The others, including Megan Fox, I would never consider. Oh! Except Rhona Mitra. She was good in Skinwalkers even though the movie was maddeningly awful. Not convinced with Summer Glau's acting? Did you not see her in Firefly?

She may not have the notoriety of the actresses listed, but Hollywood tends to overhype actors and actresses anyway. Rarely do the box office big names have anything beyond the most basic of acting talents anyway. If there ever was an actress born to play a badass, like Laura Croft, it's Ms. Pablo. And take if from someone who has spent over 10 years working in the intelligence and special operations community. Lucy Liu wouldn't be a bad choice either.

Rhona has a bit of a masculine look to her; Rosario looks feminine, but has a tough core when she wants - did you see her in 'Alexander'? That performance is enough to prove her worthiness. The rest of these women are just too feminine and not tough enough. The one woman obviously missing from this list is Halle Berry - HELLO - did you see her in 'Catwoman'? She has the looks, the body, and the athleticism to easily pull this off, not to mention her acting ability. That said, though, I think Rosario is the best choice since Halle's probably not likely to sign on, but Rosario is.

She's not to young, because she's 27 (she turns 28 in July). She looks very youthful, but that just means she'd be great as an early-20's Lara, which would fit in well with Warner Bros. intention of doing this as an origin / reboot. And I don't think she's too skinny, either. She may not be as curvy as Angelina Jolie, but her ballet training means she'd be able to do a lot of amazing acrobatic feats that Jolie could only dream of. Voluptuous women aren't particularly nimble, which has always been one of the ironies of the Tomb Raider games, since Lara is very acrobatic on to of being well endowed. They can either get an actress with agility and grace, or they can get one with lots of curves. They already tried the latter with Jolie, so I think Summer would be a great for a more "believable" Lara. Summer Glau is perfect. She's not to young, because she's 27 (she turns 28 in July).
