No, they keep rotating "Lara Crofts".How does the previous 'new Lara Croft' -- Karima Adebibe -- figure in this scheme? Allison as the in-game model for Lara, and Karima for personal appearances?

She reminds me of someone wearing a Tombraider costume at Gen Con, not the type that would be staring in a movie. Angelina brought charisma and presense. This girl does not.
Agreed completely.
... and speak with a better British accent.Ya know, the first time I say a photo of Angelina Jolie in costume I thought, 'Holy crap, she is Lara Croft'. This girl just doesn't do that. She's very attractive, to be sure. But, as pointed out it is a kind of 'girl next door' pretty.
'Girl next door' is not even on the list of phrases that should describe Lara Croft. LC needs to be more exotic, more arrogant.
YMMV.
As far as I understand, she is not going to replace Angelina Jolie for movies or anything. She is just the model you'll see on events related to the game, the public face. (Since Angelina Jolie is certainly to expensive to work as such a model). Of course, never say never, but I wouldn't count on her getting the role of Angelina...
At first I thought that was probably the case, then I thought, why all the fuss over a booth babe?
Maybe because The New Lara Croft is Ridiculously Sexy?
Or it's just marketing.![]()
