Tomb Raider: Actress Alicia Vikander Used to Play the Game in Secret

>Ex Machina's Alicia Vikander will star as Lara Croft in the upcoming Tomb Raider reboot, and believe it or not, the Oscar-winning actress was secretly a fan of the video game franchise growing up.
>Vikander has had her eye on a video game movie role for a while now and had to turn down the opportunity to star alongside her boyfriend Michael Fassbender in Assassin's Creed.
>"I kept it secret – I didn’t have many girlfriends who shared that interest, but I really loved it," Vikander revealed in the latest issue of Total Film. "I did play Tomb Raider back then, even though my parents said I wasn’t allowed to."

Suuure she did

>secretly a fan
so she played it twice or something?

>literally made Fassbender drop the black race
how good is she in bed?

If you believe that you're a fool.

>believing this bullshit

Then she should have known she'd be doing a disservice to Lara Croft by having no tits or ass

Doubt it.

...

>Vikander
>white

Fucking gross

>in secret
It means there is no evidence she has ever played it.

I don't know why actress say these. I don't mind if she never played games at all. She can do whatever girly things she like before.

condescending though I do mind

Ehhhh I would have preferred Daisy Ridley

Same shit.

I would have preferred a hot girl with big tits and ass instead of both of them

Why is Fassbender so promiscuous

Why can't he just play video games?

>'I think when people write things for women - at least with the films I've done in the past, such as Tomb Raider - they're not serious. They're not raw. They're not hard. So when we wanted a real female action hero, we looked towards something that wasn't written for a woman.'

Daily reminder that the original Lara Croft hated the movie.

Explains why she always wears dresses

Why is the soundless version so much shittier than the real one reeeeeeeeee

i.4cdn.org/wsg/1465012106032.webm

I honestly have no idea what she is talking about

More context:
>'They wanted me to play a Bond girl in Casino Royale,' says Angelina Jolie. 'I said, "Actually, I'd prefer to play him; I'd rather be Bond." It was a joke - kind of. It was an interesting conversation.'
>'Salt is nothing like Bond,' says Jolie. 'In so many spy films women are femme fatales and we wanted to avoid that. My character doesn't use her sexuality to get anything. It's the roughest I've looked. When we fight, it gets ugly. Somebody breaks my nose in the film. It's not pretty.'
>'I think when people write things for women - at least with the films I've done in the past, such as Tomb Raider - they're not serious. They're not raw. They're not hard. So when we wanted a real female action hero, we looked towards something that wasn't written for a woman.'

Better question is why we can't have sound enabled webms.

>inb4 screamers
I remember the sanic script spam being posted everywhere when YouTube videos autoplayed or something but still, shit excuse.

She funny, in still images

meh most of the time

In motion I want to fuck her to Nine inch nails in the background.

That song is awful. Glad sound isn't allowed on Sup Forums

Wow

Another plain face fridge bitch

That's because Salt was written with Tom Cruise in mind for the lead.

It seems what these strong empowered women want is to take characters written for men or AS men because their femininity offends them.

Fassbender dropped thick black chicks...for THIS!?

We can just only certain boards have sound which is retarded. Also other imageboards have 8mb or 10mb instead of 3mb

>Tomb Raider: Actress Alicia Vikander Used to Play the Game in Secret
>Used to Play the Game in Secret
>the Game


who else lost?

she is pretty based honestly

someone post the video where she btfo some tourists while she was in her adoption country

or the other one where she told off a sjw reporter in a pre movie interveiw thing

lmao

He didn't say she was white, just "not black". Fassbender's gonna have to cure his jungle fever one baby step at a time.

>left
Wins Oscars
>right
Zero roles won from star trek

So do ugly chicks just try harder?

Alice Eve is a fucking fertility goddess jesus fucking christ

eve been in six movies and has three more in post production since star trek.

Does she look the part, anons?

It does not matter, they will just "beauty her up" at Lola, Hydraulx or Method like usual.

no she didn't, she was too busy getting slammed by Chads and bbc

I never saw the appeal of this game. It was just like Crash Bandicoot with guns.

>Also other imageboards have 8mb or 10mb instead of 3mb

I can't tell you how many times I get the file large error, 4 fucking MB too big. A webm saved from /wsg/ or /gif/ even without sound is 99℅ unusable anywhere else. Thanks, Moot.

nope. she vaguely remembers walking in on her brother fapping to lara once and just started pretending to like computer games when it became cool.

Seriously this, the fun dies out really quickly

ridley isn't a fridge like vikander, she's just flat as a board in the boobs/ass department.

Should have just gotten an American again desu

>Crash Bandicoot with guns
Is that supposed to be an insult?

Shit casting, Lauren Cohan was born for this role.

WHAT THE FUCK, FASSBENDER?!?

Calm down nerd.

Not being in your mid 30s does that

Thats why Margot Robbie lie

>Alice "sex goddess" Eve
With that body and that name it's a fucking travesty she's not in porn.

i had never noticed how pornstar-like her name sounds, you're right

I wonder how many times she's been SOMALIED

You know the model that render is based off of is a brit, right.

>"I did play Tomb Raider back then, even though my parents said I wasn’t allowed to."

I remember the dark 90s when my sister had to secretly play video games and my misogynistic rage when I once caught her doing it

It's Sweden. Games with guns are bad.

Nerd girls 10 years ago = Jews in Nazi Germany

the world stopped playing back in 2008 m8

NEVER underestimate girls you fedora tipping neckbeards.

Or you will regret it

He doesn't have a VGP (Video Game Player)

And yet she will best be known as "That girl in a bra in that one trailer". Not even the movie, the trailer.

what a fascinating entry into the encyclopaedia of things that never happened.

Still looks better hten the next trek film

>Why is she so based?
It's so when her childhood friends point out on social media that she never played it she can say she did, just in secret.

What sort of evidence would you want? Should she go and dig out her memory card?

>claims she's a gamer
> but she kept it a secret...for reasons...

Why do they feel the need to insult my intelligence?

>guise, I'm totally a gamer
>b-but don't ask anyone about it!
>I-I played it in secret!

It has been "cool" only in these recent years, even I who was born in 1993 had troubles playing GTA.

this is tomb raider actress?

haaaaa surree suuuuree

Whenever I hear of Vikander, I'll just think about the generic as fuck love interest she played to beat out JJL for an Oscar.

Too racist for the Academy

what u talking about nigger? Videogames never were and aren't cool now.
But many people played relatively normie games like mario, sonic, and slightly geekier but still not "kek aspie!" like monkey island and counter strike

Because there are idiots like the OP who will fall for it.

>HEHE I PLAYED VIDEO GAMES IN SECRET HEHE
>ARNT I CUTE AND NAUGHTY HEHE
>GAMERS WILL LOVE
ME NOW HEHE

Tomb Raider wasn't GTA. My parents thought video games were evil too. Didn't stop me from playing Jedi Knight or Lego Island or shit like that.

Tomb Raider wasn't Doom.

She really won it for Ex Machina and her role she won on, but they only nominate a actress for one movie

I actually really like Vikander in general. But not only do I stand by thinking JJL gave a better performance, she's long overdue anyway.

At least it wasn't Winslet again (who I also like). Have no clue how she got a Golden Globe for Steve Jobs.

ITT: characters that are literally you

The women's category is a joke though

A great performance in a subpar western never going to win awards. Also JJL has burned bridges over the years.

McAdams being nominated at all is proof of this. She had like 5 scenes of looking concerned in Spotlight. I don't even know why I give a shit about the Oscars.

I am talking about the old stigma, and how now is normieshit because of telephones and facebook.

I figured because it was since she liked saying nigger in the movie.

> Also JJL has burned bridges over the years
Never thought of this. May explain why she hasn't been nominated in the 90s. I guess she was too noticeable in Hateful Eight to be ignored this time.

Who else were you going to nominate?
Spotlight had by far the best ensamble performance, so they nominated the lead, and supporting actor and actress.

You had prime oscar bait in Rooney being nominated for Carol.
Two good performances in not great movies (JJL and Kate Winslet)
and a actress who put in two really good performances in the year, and since science fiction NEVER wins, and Ex Machina she was going to have to face Larson who had it wrapped up, they gave it to Vikander, who is by all accounts a actress that not a diva, remembers her lines, and is willing to do as much publicity work as they ask her to do.

i wish this was in higher quality and it was just more of the 8 second mark

so cute CUTE!

She was helped that a lot of people gave her chances due to what happened to her father.

She doesn't like to do the publicity stuff. That hurts her chances in getting big roles and in the award stuff, since she not viewed as a "team player"

Not him but: Ruffalo (delivered his lines like a retard and was distracting) and McAdams (barely in the movie and wasn't compelling/interesting whatsoever) were only nominated, of course, because Spotlight gathered so much acclaim.

Should've nominated Emory Cohen from Brooklyn or Charlotte Rampling from 45 Years instead of McAdams.

I don't think that matters though, I think Leigh should've won too. I've seen enough publicity from the both of them.

Rampling was nominated for best actress

>Charlotte Rampling
She was nominated for Best Actress. Not best Supporting.

Emory Cohen is ...a actor

Tomb Raider was pretty trash imo, the most fun I had with that game was drowning Lara

how do you play a game in secret?

>Not him but: Ruffalo (delivered his lines like a retard and was distracting) and McAdams (barely in the movie and wasn't compelling/interesting whatsoever) were only nominated, of course, because Spotlight gathered so much acclaim.
Not going to disagree - Spotlight had the best ensamble acting, but none of them were great, just that there wasn't a bad actor. Also, McAdams nailed the real life reporter in mannerisms and so on, but most folks wouldn't get that.

As for your comment - I guessing you mean Nora-Jane Noone or Fiona Glascott for brooklyn, as you metioned a actor

And the other anons have pointed out that Rampling had a well deserved nomination as best actress.

Forget her name, but the one "chick?" from Tangerine was aight. Hell, I'd have nominated Emily Blunt over McAdams.

I'm just biased and irrationally mad because my favorite actress lost her (probably) last chance at a recognized award.

>As for your comment - I guessing you mean Nora-Jane Noone or Fiona Glascott for brooklyn, as you metioned a actor
Ahhhh, yes, I'm stupid. I didn't love the movie, kind of forgot. I still liked it.
>And the other anons have pointed out that Rampling had a well deserved nomination as best actress.
I was so focused on the supporting roles last year and I remember her seeming like a supporting actress in the movie. I'm a retard again, I know.

I'm no report, and McAdams was convincing enough, but her part just seemed so minor and empty. Buuut I'm not a reporter. There have been worse nominations.

Assuming Sicario, Emily blunt would been under best actress, not best supporting actress.

the other one that was considered was Helen Mirren for Trumbo, but Trumbo wasn't a good film.

JJL just happened to do a good job in a bad Tarantino film.

I doubt it was her last chance. She was always active on the indie scene but when she had a kid and took some time off she had some trouble getting roles when she came back. Getting a nomination is good enough to get producers to consider her.

>Literally looks like a fucking 15 year old
>No tits, ass, waist, hips, anything feminine
Either she never actually played any of the games, or she thinks TR2013 was the only Tomb Raider game before Rise of the Tomb Raider.
They should honestly just hire Kendricks to do it. She looks like Lara, and actually has tits+waist+ass.

Pic related sums up my feelings about everything.

WOW, SHE'S A NERD JUST LIKE ME. THAT'S RELATABLE. I LIKE HER.

To be specific, McAdams did a good job playing Sacha Pfeiffer, who is the real life reporter.

this desu senpai
it's called publicity

True, true. Here's hoping. I don't know why I'm so negative about it. And at least, like you said, the nomination seems to be getting her some more work.
