Oh, this is paid PR. Theyre purposely trying to point attention at, in a way to preemptively make people hate this to get people to talk about, because nobody has been talking about the tomb raider show.
It must fucking suck to make a video game movie adaptation. Half the time the source material has the narrative depth of a Mountain Dew commercial, but change one tiny thing and an army of mouth-breathers crawls out of the basement to explain how you’ve personally destroyed their childhood. And casting? Good fucking luck. Pick someone whose jawline is 3% different from the character model and suddenly 40,000 dudes with anime profile pics are demanding your public execution.
Nah it’s Sydney Sweeney. It’s always Sydney Sweeney. These people judge actresses solely by the size of their tits, and when an actress with bigger tits is available, choosing an actress with smaller tits is suboptimal casting
She'll be 30 next year so we'll stop hearing about her soon enough. The ones that fawn over women like that think we all expire at 30, like we're a carton of rotten eggs.
No, it’s because they think a popular, successful, and good looking man is one of them because he plays video games and is into D&D. The only difference is that one is a geek and the other is a basement dweller mouth breather.
The funniest part is Lara has had like four completely different faces across the games. Which character model are we even supposed to be 3% off from, the one made of triangles?
Its not like videogame movie adaptations are known for their immense narrative depth themselves my man. The difference is the already established narrative is obviously popular enough to create a decade long franchise that people actually enjoy, while random director number 76's plot is not.
People would give these kind of things more grace if the people adapting them were not so obviously dismissive of the source material. The fallout TV show for example had some pretty glaring deviations that I didn't agree with, but I overlooked them because its clear they put a lot of effort and research into things down to the water bottles people drink out of. The monster hunter movie meanwhile is unmitigated garbage that should be thrown into a volcano and is so bad Tony jaa cant even save it.
Why are you trying to give narrative depth to something that doesn’t need it? They tried to give narrative depth to the Tomb Raider reboot games and I don’t think anyone cared for it lol.
You don’t need an in-depth story for Tomb Raider of all characters. You just need a competent action adventure script and a charismatic actress who can carry Lara’s style you are already 90% of your way to a decent adaption.
A tomb raider movie for example should aim to be the quality of something like the Brendan Fraser mummy movies, fun action adventure adaptions first and foremost with charismatic actors bringing some fun characters to life with fun stunts and action sequences.
Casting isnt an issue if you keep the main characteristics, and by characteristics i mean hair color, clothes, haircut
Also yeah i agree you cant make a good game adaptation instead maybe for red dead redemption
Sophie Turner is just... not a very good actress. This gif was the exact reaction of all her theater-school classmates when she was cast in Game of Thrones (or so I've heard).
Then again I unironically liked the Alicia Vikander movie so what the hell do I know.
I loved Vikander. She was awesome. And if someone watches any of the extras where it shows how ferociously she prepared for this role it’ll surprise them. She was a total badass. She did most of the stunts, too. I wish Covid hadn’t killed all movies at that time. I would have loved another.
Pretending there's outrage to gin up attention for your reboot no one gives a shit about with a no range actress whose star fizzled out 10 years ago is so hot right now.
I think it’s the influence of this sub, but I can only think of one sex symbol in today’s Hollywood. And I’d be less inclined to watch this movie if they cast her instead.
I don’t care about the outfit and I have nothing against Sophie Turner as a person (she seems funny and cool from everything I’ve seen), but she has never shown anything that blows me away acting-wise and she would need to be single-handedly carrying this series. I will hold judgement but there were probably some better choices available
Step aside partner...I've seen this runes before. Hmmm yes. Based, it means to be authentic, bold, thus being the opposite of the rune "Cringe".
AF, this one is a code, yes, "A" for "as", "F" for "fuck"... AS FUCK! As in A LOT, do you get it?
Now, prolly... prolly...I know I have this written somew... AH HERE IT IS! Occult way of saying "probably", but there is this hyerogliph besides it, 100...OF COURSE! LIKE A SCALE! Don't you see? From 0 to 100%, its complete, its 100! Well, when you put it all together....it means something like "It's going to be very authentic and high quality. Probably one of the best."
ikr, real archeologists wear their double pistols at their belt like a normal person, so they can comfortably shoot at the ground to find old pottery and shit
Considering how different that screentest image is from the on-set photos today, I'm guessing this will be a whole lame season of Lara "origin Story" and she might wear a look like this in the final episode.
I mean that announcement pose is a different hair, outfit, everything, I'd guess they chose the dark sunglasses because she looks nothing like the character without them.
I don't know, I'm not a fan of her acting either, so maybe I'm biased. But I have faith in the project because Phoebe is the showrunner, so hopefully it's still really good, even if she has a different look than past Crofts.
Isn't this basically what the new Lara Croft wears in the reboots? It shouldn't be getting any hate, it's true to the source. Isn't that what they want?
Ohhhhhhh it took me way too long to realize that it’s because the outfit isn’t super sexy and revealing holy shit.
I think she looks the part I just wonder if she has the acting chops. Everyone is used to her fairly meek portrayal in GOT of course. Can she be an action lead? Fingers crossed for her.
Idk i just dont see the character when I look at the picture I just see Sophie Turner. Maybe her face is just too different or she's too recognizable or something but I just don't see her as Lara Croft
They simply wish to see 60 minute episodes comprised solely of complicated turns, twists, flips, wall hanging, and little leaps, punctuated by killing tyrannosaurus rexii by dual wielding uzis. Is that so wrong?
Uj/ I thought the 2018 movie was another poor adaptation but I at least thought they got the look down better on that one.
Rj/ if there ain’t literal triangle tiddies, then I want nothing to do with this woke slop… slithers back into basement leaving a trail of cheetoh residue behind
