That's even though she was roughly the same age as Linda Hamilton was when she played Sarah in the original film. Terrible casting.

Apart from that Turner really has little range as an actress. She was mildly bland in GOT. Horribly miscast as Jean Grey and strangely enough when I picture LC I still think of Angelina Jolie or even the last chick that was cast in that film based on the new games. Seriously though this casting is a joke. Hayley Atwell would've been considerably better.

Emilia Clarke was in a romance film called "You Before Me." She was adorable, but the message of the movie was horrifying: "If your life sucks, end it."

[@SlavicHavoc]

Who wrote that? The Canadian healthcare system?

No, the message of the movie is that just because you're now paralysed doesn't mean your personal responsibility and choices are now void and he was free to decide what he wanted.

I saw her in a Christmas movie, where she was also good. She has this cute, adorable girl energy, and that's the kind movies that suits her.

[@RinMuiridi]

I could be wrong but Sophie Turner currently is in a series called "Joan" (Series: She plays a thief/Protagonist) which I think is part of what is influencing the decision. Personally I wanted Hayley Atwell

[@Rotor_nator]

Lara Croft dosent have a chance with today’s woke Hollywood culture. I think Rhona Mitra, Kate Beckinsale or Hayley Atwell would have been the best choice.

She was actually surprising as Joan in the ITX 'Joan' and wasnt wooden so maybe she has improved as an actor

[@mountbattenstgeorge6008]

I agree. Her character was written for the GOT series to be kinda limp. She went from an aristocratic child to a tortured victim of countless horrors the TV show only slightly touches. The post wedding scene in the novel is way more intense/graphic. But agreed I thought she was strong in Joan.

Ironically Emilia Clarke would've been a much better cast for Lara Croft than Sophie Turner, despite Clarke's inability to be a convincing action star. With the right director, Emilia Clarke could've been a satisfactorily mediocre tomb raider (which, in the current movie climate, would've made the movie a super blockbuster)

It would’ve worked because people like Emilia Clarke and probably would’ve given the movie money

[@Promance230]

Title is misleading - Game of Thrones discussion 😅

[@Bonko78]

If you're producing a LaraCroft movie, the order of priority for necessary traits in an actress should be: 1) Confidence. She makes her own fate, doesn't take crap. 2) Brown Hair With A Braid. Can be dyed but still vital. 3) Athleticism. Must convincingly climb a rope or do martial arts. 4) Lips and Eyebrows. For the classic look. 5) Boobs. Nothing wrong with a busty actress to complete the classic silhouette. In my opinion none of the casting choices have more than 2 of these traits. Here is my quick list: The "Too Old But Gold" category: Hailey Atwell, Rebecca Ferguson, Kate Beckinsale. Here is a more realistic shortlist: Eiza Gonzalez, Grace Caroline Curry, Alexandra Daddario, Kaya Scodelario. And although they are blondes, I think Vanessa Kirby or Jodie Comer would work.

[@jamescarr1265]

Evangeline Lilly in the 2000s and perhaps Eliza Dushku in the 2000s would suit as well

[@jamescarr1265]

But it should have been Kate Beckinsale they missed the opportunity of a lifetime

[@robertcarter4002]

She was also a bad choice for Jean Grey. She was a good choice for Sansa Stark. But that's about it. Lara Croft is supposed to exude confidence and sex appeal. Jean Grey was a model lusted after by Cyclops and Wolverine. Terrible miscasting.

Lara Croft is so easy to get right as well. You cast a young attractive lady who looks like the character. Hire a good action director and then just go to china or egypt or somewhere she went in the classic games and make a modern era indiana jones type movie.
