The new Lara Croft is hot as hell!!!

Move over, Angelina Jolie. There's a new Lara Croft in town, and she's a 23-year-old gymnast from South London, Tomb Raider publisher Eidos announced this week.

Ever since actress Rhona Mitra first took on the role of Tomb Raider heroine Lara Croft in 1997, Eidos has sought real-life counterparts for its acrobatic archaeologist heroine, and they've helped propel the video game series to worldwide sales topping 32 million. Up until now the British publisher's picks have tended to be models or, like Jolie, movie stars, but Alison Carroll might just be the first Croft to have the physical abilities to do her famously acrobatic opposite number justice.

Carroll boasts 12 years of gymnastics training and numerous honors representing Great Britain in sporting displays. Although her Lara role won't involve any movie work, she'll still be kept sufficiently busy traveling the world promoting the latest Tomb Raider game, Underworld, to allow her to quit her day job -- as a receptionist.

"It's unbelievable how realistic [Lara's] movements are in Tomb Raider: Underworld and it's so gratifying to be able to use my years of gymnastic training to portray such a beloved character," Carroll said in a press release.

Although Carroll's more than able to match Croft kick for kick, she's still undergoing a training regime that includes weapons classes in Eastern Europe, survival technique instruction from British SAS troops, and -- naturally -- a crash course in archaeology.

Well, at least she's (way) hotter than Jolie...:D

[the clever guy]

not the hottest lara i've seen, but not too bad.

[Smiert Spionam]

As if they'd actually make Lara Croft be fugly lookin' or something.....

[Cosimo]

she purdy

[adamjohnson]

Give me Rhona any day.

[Rapture27]

She aight.


Need to see her from the backside to make a full conclusion.

[a7xfan]

i cannot believe this, i asked them not to release these pics till we had sorted out our relationship. fucking hell.

[Jon Lyrik]

Christ, I never understood the appeal of these flicks. Porn spoofs at least have actual tits.

[Lindsey]

Hey belly-button looks off.

She either had her breast implants inserted up there, or had a tummy tuck. Otherwise she looks naturally hot.

Ton of pictures of her as Lara Croft online right now.

I don't know what you all are complaining about. The girl is attractive. End of story.

[JJFlamingo]

Croft's ass has got to be PERFECT, and this looks like it might fit the bill (although no ass is as perfect as Biel's)...:D

[Mr. Creasy]

Hmmmm is hot but not THAT hot, Jolie is better.

[halluc1nati0n]

Am I the only person to think she looks fat? :confused:
For the role of tomb raider that is!

[muttly69]

Nice!

[muttly69]

I think so. "Thats on grade A pice of Ace!"

Seriously?

[ElderPredator]

Not even close. This chick doesn't have half the sex appeal that Angelina does.

[Cunning Visions]

Wait....she has a birthmark on her left breast....she's not perfect!!! Ughhh forget it, I wouldn't hit it now!

[darknite125]

Infinitley better than Jolie.

[BadCoverVersion]

Give me Rhona any day.

Rhona Mitra is pretty much defunct of personality, but she's the prettiest/sexiest Lara by a long shot.

[Brendan M.]

Rhona Mitra is attractive, I won't deny that. But this new girl is younger, prettier, and more my type. And I WANT!!

[Badbird]

New girl is pretty cute, but I'd still raid Rhona Mitra's tomb any day...

[KcMsterpce]

No thanks.
She looks TOTALLY plain-Jane. I wouldn't fuck her, either. And yeah, I mean that.

[jaw2929]

I can't stand Jolie anymore, so I like this one better.

Though I agree, there's something FUCKED going on with that belly button.

[shoe1985]

I agree her belly button looks a little odd, but she does look pretty damn hot. She might have a plain look compared to someone like Jolie, but I prefer the look of not having a lot of makeup on. Plus, Jolie isn't that hot. Her body is ok, but she has a butterface.

[AshleysDad]

I still think Jolie looked the part better than anyone else could have. Too bad the second movie sucked so much.

[JINYX]

I agree on Angie looking the part of Lara Croft the best of anyone, she was perfect for that role, but this new one isn't bad, definately hot as hell and sorta looks the part.

Over/Under on when the movie gets annouced?

[EvilHenchman]

So, evidently the plan is to now turn the franchise into a full-blown spank fest, eh?

[Vong]

It baffles me why a video game studio would bother casting a woman to represent a video game character and even go as far as to teach the woman how to fire a weapon...as if any of it matters!

Regardless, she is hot. :rolleyes:

Because its cool.

[BanksIsDaFuture]

Nothing special. I'd fuck her but I'd fuck most women so....

Fat in any context doesn't describe her.


That said, I'm not a fan of the movies and I don't play the games. But she's purdy.

[Jon Lyrik]

The guy does live in India.

[adamjohnson]

She's muscular and has a wide frame, so I can see why he said that. But I doubt there's much ACTUAL fat on her. She's just got a 'sporty' body.

http://ilikegirlz.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/04/rhona_mitra_3.jpg

Giveme RHONA.

[a7xfan]

The guy does live in India.

explain?

[Jon Lyrik]

explain?

Sigh...

49% of newborns in India are malnourished.

[a7xfan]

Sigh...

Say whhhaaaat!?

[Brendan M.]

I found this great video on Alison Carroll becoming Lara Croft. Hopefully this convinces some people who were having some doubts about her. The girl is bad ass.

[bigred760]

She's more cute than hot.

[BananaDancer]

They sort of set them selves up to fail here, with trying to replace Jolie.

These movies were crap in the first place. I remember going to see the first one in theaters on opening night and when it was over all the people shuffled out all quiet in shock of how bad it was.

[Brendan M.]

Guys, she's representing and promoting the new game. She isn't starring in a new movie. Or at least not yet.

looks like jailbate

looks like jailbate

And?

[Brendan M.]

As far as I know, 23 ain't jailbait. And even if it is, it would make me jailbait as well.

[xseanymacx]

Fuck the haters, she's sexy as hell.

[countchocula]

She's insanely hot. I don't get the "actress playing a character for a photo shoot" thing, though.

She looks like a young woman to me. What kind of old hags are you hanging out with?? ;)

[Il_Duce]

I'd like to raid her tomb. ;)

[Mopar Fanatic]

The kind that won't put me away for 10 years. Don't get me wrong though, I'd fuck her as fast as the next guy. That's where the ID check would come into play.

Do you ask girls often if you can see their ID?

No because I don't think pussy falls under the same circumstance as buying booze or cigarettes. For instance though, with this type of hypothetical situation with a celebrity strumpet that I don't give a fuck about, at the same time I know I'm never going to meet ya she would be carded for sex.

[Mopar Fanatic]

[razgriz21]

I've had no doubts about her at all.

She seems to fit the bill and is actually trained for this.

This gal is cute. She looks like jail bate.

Kate Beckinsale would be a much better choice IMO.

[BadCoverVersion]

I keep hearing "jail bait"...how fucking old do teenagers look in the US?

I mean, I've seen some on Maury and shit, but I never thought that was an accurate representation, y'know.

I think she looks like she's in her 20's.

[chasingbanky]

I can't believe people have problems understanding the point of promotional stills with models... What's so hard to grasp? Having people jerk off to a real person pretending to be your video game character equals more sales than just having the super nerds jerk off to the polygon version. DUH.

Yeah I don't understand this either... That girl definitely looks 23; if I had to guess her exact age I would have said 23. I can see why there is confusion between 15-18 year old girls because at that age their style and quality of image maintenance is almost the same across the board. But after 18 (19+) it becomes obvious how old they are and how much of a "woman" they are.

I've always hated the term "jail bait" or guys who obsess over girls ages... if there's a 16 year old girl who you find attractive, great! just don't act on it; you don't need point out that she's illegal, that obvious.
When someone says "JAIL BAIT!", I hear "I'm a creeper who actually lusts over young, illegal girls but saying 'jail bait' makes it funny and therefore nobody thinks twice about my disgusting tastes! RIGHT BRAW?! HIGH FIVE!"

The only thing that's jail bait is that the girl isn't interested in your old ass so you're going to have to rape them, and then you go to jail.

Sorry guys, I'm busting chops today.

[Brendan M.]

Well... According to the article she is 23 so you're right. I don't think she looks any younger. Well... I'm 3 years younger than her so I guess what you guys consider jail bait really makes no difference to me. I'm actually a little surprised that this thread is still going strong due to this debate.

[dirtysanch]

She looks like she would make a very good lara croft. Has the body, the face and the attitude

now we're talking.

this chick is just okay. not bad, but not as hot as Kate.

She's also not a 10 million per movie actress. Why would Beckinsale do video game promotional modeling?
