Her performance in The Young Victoria shows she could carry off Crofts blue-blooded upbringing while performances in Irresistible, My Summer of Love and Wild Target shows she can dispense the alluring charm Croft exhibits with such ease. Emily Blunt 28 years old Why: Queen of versatility, Emily Blunt can do no wrong at the moment as competent voicing a Gnome as playing a sexy siren or tomboy, or queen bitch. Plus there's no doubting her toughness but could she convince as the immensely smart, Anthropology-degree explorer? Plus the accent thing again. ![]() Why Not: Although she clearly looks tough, she does come across as maybe a little sleight for the role, height-wise. She's certainly someone who looks like she would hold her own in a fight and she's a great actress who is due a major leading role. Mila Kunis 27 years old Why: Her natural personality is of a strong, highly self-confident woman who can be scrappy, aggressive and terrifying in her own way as OWF's Rob Beames found out when he interviewed her last year for Black Swan. Why Not: The British accent might be troublesome and she's probably going to fill her blockbuster quota as Black Widow for the near future. Scarlett surprised many in her superhero debut and there's no doubting she would fill the costume in a way that would sell the character to horny men of all ages and on magazine covers, etc, like the 'Jolie' factor had a decade ago. ![]() Scarlett Johansson 26 years old Why: She's probably the right age for what GK Films are casting their net for and she's already effectively done the kick-ass heroine thing as Black Widow in Iron Man and the forthcoming The Avengers. Plus, she seems to be kinda done with this franchise and probably wouldn't want to return even if asked. Since embracing the adopt-one-from-every-country attitude, her popularity has fell with the red-blooded males The Tomb Raider demographic - and one cant dispute that her sellability on her sex appeal has waned somewhat as with every new arrival she seems to drop a dress size. Furthermore, Jolies stock is not what it once was The Tourist was a monumental failure critically and financially and Salt didn't quite prove she is the global megastar Hollywood hoped she was. Why Not: All signs point to a reboot rather than a sequel, which means reinventing and reimagining a character, which would rule Jolie out. Her latest vehicle The Tourist was fully financed by Graham King's GK Films, so there's already a strong relationship with Jolie. ![]() Though lord knows what accent she was putting on in The Tourist. ![]() Salt proved that Jolie was still the closest thing we have to an accomplished action heroine in Hollywood, and her accent in the Croft sequel was a vast improvement on her dodgy Dick van Dyke-esque one of the first. Theres no other actress in the world who comes close to the physical resemblance of the video games Croft. Submitted for your approval or disapproval as we always like to do in our Fantasy Casting series, Ive selected eight actresses who could play the British, butt-kicking belle.Īngelina Jolie 36 years old Why: For many, she already is the real life embodiment of Lara Croft having starred in two financially successful summer blockbusters that caused something of a media circus. With the announcement yesterday that Oscar winning producer of The Departed Graham King and his company GK films are set to reboot the Lara Croft: Tomb Raider franchise, tongues have been wagging about just who might fill the boots and don the tank top and tinted shades of the video game heroine.
