Funny how I've never seen any archaeologists that look like her [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I don't know if she has enough of an athletic build to pull off Laura Croft. Not that the character has anything to do reality. But I think a better fit would be someone more like the Biotest Farenheit model.

The model a self-confessed tomboy will go on a strict training programme, including an SAS survival, combat and semi-automatic weapon-firing course in Eastern Europe, as well as taking a course in archaeology, deportment, elocution and etiquette so she can portray the 11th generation Countess.

Give her a chance, guys. She's only 20, lots of potential there.

Dr. J, looks like she may need an archaeology tutor.

Nothing NSFW in this, unless we're banning all pictures of attractive women regardless of context of the post.

The new Croft looks soft. Not convincing at all that she's an agile, athletic, ass kickin' hottie. She's too skinny too. Looks clumsy, with a soft middle to boot.

'too skinny' 'too soft'

JP doesn't like the 'squish' but he doesn't like the thin ones either. Fine... more for the rest of us. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] (j/k hoss... I know you mean for the role).

I like squish, but I dont' think it fits the Lara Croft look. I'm with JP on this one.

LD - who's that, and is she for sale?

I think Karima and Jolie should battle it out, and the winner gets the role.

Interesting watching.

She's some sort of Brazilian Jujitsu champion. Kuri put up the picture first. I'm just going to keep reposting it forever...

She's sorta good lookin', huh?

Nope... I wouldn't have a problem with the lady in the photos if she was wearing a swimsuit or something. She's attractive, just not athletic looking. Her muscles look like she was raised in a veal pen... Nice and soft. Croft is supposed to be built like a jungle cat... A steel compressed steal coil straining to lash out. The new girl looks like she could hit me in the face as hard as she can and break one of those delicate looking forarms, while I brush it off like a mosquito bite.

I gotta kinda agree with JP, and take it one step further. Mitra and Jolie have an edgier look to them that makes them more believable -- more angular features to the face and a more athletic look as well.

Of course, I wouldn't toss her out with the bath water, either! [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Synthetic...real. It's all the same to Old Guy. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] Here we've crossed the line from virtual to real AND they have implants. OG is a happy man, I bet.

You'd make a good Lara Croft Jenn. All muscle. Ass kicking. Saving lives. Well, as far as I know because I've never seen the video game nor the movies.
