Sophie Turner showed a ripped body a few months ago

Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny) will serve as creator, writer, and executive producer on the series and has now been joined by Chad Hodge as executive producer and co-showrunner.
Jonathan van Tulleken will serve as director and executive producer., with Turner (Game of Thrones, Dark Phoenix) emerging as the frontrunner to play the lead role

"I'm so excited to announce the formidable Sophie Turner as our Lara alongside this phenomenal creative team," Waller-Bridge said.
"It's not very often you get to make a show of this scale with a character you grew up loving. Everyone on board is wildly passionate about Lara and are all as outrageous, brave, and hilarious as she is. Get your artifacts out… Croft is coming…"

Here's hoping it's good.

Jesus F Christ what a horrible miscast. This piece of news must have singlehandedly shrinked millions of penises across the globe.

not suitable.

"Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny) will serve as creator, writer, and executive producer"

I have no faith this will turn out well.

Wake up honey, Phoebe Waller-Bridge is about to destroy another male-oriented franchise out of sheer spite.

Fuck off American entertainment industry in general

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

As much as I'd like to fit in here... honestly? I see it. I think she could play the role well, and I think she's got the chops to do something bolder than her role in GoT would indicate.



Edit: Wait, Phoebe Waller Bridge? Okay, nevermind - I take it all back. Sorry, guys. You were right. Let's hate.

Hey, I hope the new Tomb Raider game isn't wokified to please the new IP owner and mascot Phoebe Waller-Bridge. I read on another website that Phoebe Waller-Bridge "don't miss" and threw up in my mouth a little. I bet that they won't even objectify lara in the games becasue of this bullshit project right here. I bet there is some sort of ban on the IP from the male gaze for 20 years to get her on board doing this shit.

Who is the woke lara croft for? Like would women watch adult content for the stories if they just made the female actresses fat?

The drapes won't match the carpet, mate..

 

[Cert.in.Death]

Thank god for modern post production

 

[SomeNorseGuy]

A Phoebe Waller-Bridge production?

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

She's a great cast for Lara. Excited to see how this turns out! Lara's due for a really solid reboot. The old movies are so corny.

 

[yogaflame]

She is okay but two things are missing

 

[Kacho]

 

[mitch1971]

So a 'no tits' production.

 

[forsakkenSoul]

Meh, they could've picked a better actress, but they also could've picked a worse one. We'll see how this turns out.

But anyway.

Everyone involved with this is British lmao. Must be the lack of porn getting people to think this chick has any sex appeal.

[analog_future]

I think Sophie Turner's gonna kill it.


And Phoebe Waller-Bridge is a super talented writer. This shit's gonna be good.

 

[MrCunningham]

So, going back to previous casting choices. Most people didn't realise how good they had it with Anjolina Jolie as the classic Core era Lara Crtoft

Alica Vickander was a pretty good reboot trilogy Lara. I actually kinda liked the movie as far as game to movie adaptions go.

I honestly didn't really get into the Netflix animated series as much as I was hoping I would, but people seemed to like it regardless. I'll have to wait and see more with this new Amazon series before criticizing it.

 

[Larxia]

Absolutely terrible cast.
Not just because of the "flat" argument, but Sophie Turner is just sooo bland, and she has a baby face, I really don't see her as Lara Croft, at all.
Even in X-Men she was terrible as Jean Grey, such a downgrade from Famke Janssen.

It will be the same kind of Downgrade here compared to Angelina Jolie. Although I know we're not even talking about the same "Lara Croft" anyway...

 

[ecosse_011172]

Lara Croft is posh, English and athletic.
What's the issue?

 

[Holammer]

Phoebe Waller-Bridge voiced L3-37, the "social justice droid" in the Han Solo movie.
Quotation marks because that's what RLM called it.

Keep up the good fight

[lughnasadh123]

Could be good or bad. I get that people reflexively shit themselves at even the tiniest whiff of "woke" anywhere but I'm willing to at least see what they put out before declaring it shit. Sophie could make an excellent Lara if they adopt first trilogy as her inspiration along with making her a proper thief seeking treasure and adventure.

 

[Denton]

Maybe AI will generate lore accurate Tomb Raider one of these days

[Saber]

How can a woman has less female parts than a man is beyond me.
Even aside that, anything that has to do with this disgusting Phoebe I want a very good distance. Bloody disgusting.

 

[mckmas8808]

I was wondering how GAF would rip this to shreds with have almost NO information

 

[adamsapple]

I'm probably one of the five people here who can read that text too, lol.

 

[mayham2199]

Something about her I've just never been a fan. Also not a fan of Tomb Raider in general though so I guess it doesn't really matter who they cast. Out of the three games that came out I only really loved #2. The first was boring and the plot was horrible even though it did start off good. #3 had way to much downtime\puzzles and not enough action.

 

[ecosse_011172]

Hands up if you've posted in this thread and have a girlfriend and no current restraining orders.

Only me?
Yeah, that tracks.

 

[Kacho]

This is going to be a great thread. I can feel it in my bones.

Oh here you are! I was scrolling down for "Hey where is that guy for defending this" and boom! You're not gonna miss any opportunity aren't you lol.

It's hard to avoid with bitter Incelspeak coming from every angle
I've no chance of keeping up I'm afraid.

 

[Madflavor]

It's probably never going to get better than Angelina Jolie.

The TR I-VI Remasters were a nice trip down memory lane, but as someone who's been a lifelong Tomb Raider fan, I think I've had enough and I'm giving up at this point. It's been made painfully clear to me on a consistent basis that the wrong people have control over this IP, and it will likely never be good again.

 

[Effigenius]

Am I the only one who doesn't think she's attractive? Like, at all.

 

[mayham2199]

She's attractive but has no chest at all. If I was her I would invest in a boob job. Not something crazy just at least like a respectable B cup.
