>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.

>secretly a fan so she played it twice or something?
Oliver Gomez
>literally made Fassbender drop the black race how good is she in bed?
Joseph Hernandez
If you believe that you're a fool.
Bentley James
>believing this bullshit
Ryan White
Then she should have known she'd be doing a disservice to Lara Croft by having no tits or ass
Angel Reyes
Doubt it.
Mason Davis
...
Hunter Russell
>Vikander >white
Josiah Gray
Fucking gross
Angel Phillips
>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
Adrian Collins
Ehhhh I would have preferred Daisy Ridley
Brandon Thompson
Same shit.
Anthony Rodriguez
I would have preferred a hot girl with big tits and ass instead of both of them
Nathaniel Carter
Why is Fassbender so promiscuous
Why can't he just play video games?
Jacob Collins
>'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.
Tyler Ortiz
Explains why she always wears dresses
Camden Bennett
Why is the soundless version so much shittier than the real one reeeeeeeeee
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.

Jace Rodriguez
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.
Jordan Martinez
She funny, in still images
meh most of the time
In motion I want to fuck her to Nine inch nails in the background.
Zachary Hill
That song is awful. Glad sound isn't allowed on Sup Forums
Hudson Turner
Wow
Another plain face fridge bitch
Samuel Hill
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.
Cameron Torres
Fassbender dropped thick black chicks...for THIS!?
Nicholas Walker
We can just only certain boards have sound which is retarded. Also other imageboards have 8mb or 10mb instead of 3mb
Xavier Peterson
>Tomb Raider: Actress Alicia Vikander Used to Play the Game in Secret >Used to Play the Game in Secret >the Game
who else lost?
Luke Barnes
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
Luis Roberts
lmao
Logan Gray
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.
Ayden Hernandez
>left Wins Oscars >right Zero roles won from star trek
So do ugly chicks just try harder?
Cooper Hughes
Alice Eve is a fucking fertility goddess jesus fucking christ
Landon Wood
eve been in six movies and has three more in post production since star trek.
Colton Bell
Does she look the part, anons?
Kevin Gomez
It does not matter, they will just "beauty her up" at Lola, Hydraulx or Method like usual.
Alexander Barnes
no she didn't, she was too busy getting slammed by Chads and bbc
Ayden Ward
I never saw the appeal of this game. It was just like Crash Bandicoot with guns.
Liam Stewart
>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.
Matthew Powell
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.
Evan Morales
Seriously this, the fun dies out really quickly
Noah Rogers
ridley isn't a fridge like vikander, she's just flat as a board in the boobs/ass department.
Joseph Ross
Should have just gotten an American again desu
Wyatt Stewart
>Crash Bandicoot with guns Is that supposed to be an insult?
Christopher Torres
Shit casting, Lauren Cohan was born for this role.
Ayden James
WHAT THE FUCK, FASSBENDER?!?
Leo Williams
Calm down nerd.
Isaac Flores
Not being in your mid 30s does that
Thats why Margot Robbie lie
Jaxson Bell
>Alice "sex goddess" Eve With that body and that name it's a fucking travesty she's not in porn.
Adam Reyes
i had never noticed how pornstar-like her name sounds, you're right
Austin Howard
I wonder how many times she's been SOMALIED
Christian Foster
You know the model that render is based off of is a brit, right.
Angel Gomez
>"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
Landon Campbell
It's Sweden. Games with guns are bad.
Ryan Perez
Nerd girls 10 years ago = Jews in Nazi Germany
Cameron Peterson
the world stopped playing back in 2008 m8
Easton Williams
NEVER underestimate girls you fedora tipping neckbeards.
Or you will regret it
Liam Torres
He doesn't have a VGP (Video Game Player)
Bentley Davis
And yet she will best be known as "That girl in a bra in that one trailer". Not even the movie, the trailer.
William Rodriguez
what a fascinating entry into the encyclopaedia of things that never happened.
Kayden Fisher
Still looks better hten the next trek film
Leo Bell
>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.
Jaxon James
What sort of evidence would you want? Should she go and dig out her memory card?
Nolan Allen
>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!
Daniel Gomez
It has been "cool" only in these recent years, even I who was born in 1993 had troubles playing GTA.
Oliver Nelson
this is tomb raider actress?
haaaaa surree suuuuree
Daniel Adams
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.
Josiah King
Too racist for the Academy
Leo Perry
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
Colton Parker
Because there are idiots like the OP who will fall for it.
Tyler Lee
>HEHE I PLAYED VIDEO GAMES IN SECRET HEHE >ARNT I CUTE AND NAUGHTY HEHE >GAMERS WILL LOVE ME NOW HEHE
Thomas Morales
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.
Jordan Stewart
She really won it for Ex Machina and her role she won on, but they only nominate a actress for one movie
Anthony Perry
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.
Michael Price
ITT: characters that are literally you

Levi Martin
The women's category is a joke though
Levi Carter
A great performance in a subpar western never going to win awards. Also JJL has burned bridges over the years.
Hudson Mitchell
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.
Oliver Hernandez
I am talking about the old stigma, and how now is normieshit because of telephones and facebook.
Eli Perry
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.
Ethan Morris
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.
Elijah Cruz
i wish this was in higher quality and it was just more of the 8 second mark
so cute CUTE!
Jayden Allen
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"
Carson Green
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.
Adrian Bennett
Rampling was nominated for best actress
Isaac Wilson
>Charlotte Rampling She was nominated for Best Actress. Not best Supporting.
Emory Cohen is ...a actor
Michael Clark
Tomb Raider was pretty trash imo, the most fun I had with that game was drowning Lara
Isaiah Garcia
how do you play a game in secret?
Jonathan Rogers
>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.
Jordan Miller
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.
Jackson Lewis
>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.
Cooper James
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.
Aiden Ortiz
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.
Andrew Hernandez
>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.
Juan Ross
WOW, SHE'S A NERD JUST LIKE ME. THAT'S RELATABLE. I LIKE HER.
Easton Robinson
To be specific, McAdams did a good job playing Sacha Pfeiffer, who is the real life reporter.
Cooper Wood
this desu senpai it's called publicity
Logan Hall
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.
