bad_fur_day1: How bout as a compromise we go with a decent actress with medium size breasts? :P
SeduceMePlz: Lauren Cohan! :)
As I mentioned before, I'd like it to be a good movie, and a candidate for the role would need to be plausible/capable/acceptable-to-Hollywood. Think
Raiders of the Lost Ark but with Lara Croft. Or maybe something a bit more action-oriented, gritty, etc. Either way, I think Cohan fits the bill. She's perhaps a bit too small up top, but she's got enough to work with that a bit of padding could round things out.
But I'd like to hear other suggestions, too.
DaCostaBR: 1. Yes, you said you don't like her acting, fine, you don't need to want her on the role, then you said she's not a match because of her breasts, that's the ridiculous part.
2. She's not getting her tits out in this movie. Padded bras and other costuming tricks can make her look like she has bigger breasts, if the producers feel like it's necessary.
3. Saying a different bust size is completely inappropriate is like saying Ron Pearlman was inappropriate as Hellboy because he's not red with horns. Makeup and costuming exist to make actors look their part.
4. No, but it's not necessary to have it to tell good stories either. Regardless, the movie is going to reflect the new games' aproach.
And don't bring left-wing/right-wing american politics into conversations that have nothing to do with it, it just reflects badly on everyone involved.
SeduceMePlz: 1. Likeness to the character matters to fans.
2. She has
nothing to work with up top.
3. So dumb that I'm not going to bother explaining why.
4. You seem to be unfamiliar with the Lara of the new games.
Who said anything about American politics? SJW crap isn't limited to America.
1. Yes, and I think her face looks similar enough and being british the accent wouldn't be a problem, the rest is easily worked on by the make up and costuming departments.
2. Only if you want her to have massive boobs. Personally I'd be more worried in having an interesting character, and finding an actress to pull it off, but breast size being so important to you I mentioned a way to make them bigger, but if you want them huge, no they wouldn't be, I'll give you that.
3. Your big requirement to cast an actress for this movie is how big her boobs are, so can you not see how ridiculous this is? The Hellboy comment was me taking it to the extreme, but Ron Pearlman sure as hell didn't have 6 pack abs in real life when playing that character, they cast him for his acting ability not his abs. You can call it dumb, but that's essentially the same thing you're doing here.
4. I know she can be described as sexualized still, just in a different way from the older titles, but I'm certain that's not what you're getting at, and no, I wouldn't say sex appeal is a big part of her current character.
Americans are always so intent on dividing things into labels like left-wing, right-wing, progressive, conservative, not to mention that not the entire world shares your definitions, it didn't even occur to me that anything being discussed here had anything to do with politics, but I imagine the right label makes it easier to dismiss someone else's arguments as nonsense.
And then you said it: SJW. Here's where I check out, there can be no further discussion from this point. You've given me a label, I'm the enemy now. I wouldn't think prioritizing acting skill over looks to be such a radical concept, much less "SJW crap", I'd think it's the path to making video game movies less style and more substance. God knows I've angered other so-called "SJWs" before. Like always, I guess if I can piss off both sides then I must be doing something right.
I doubt they'll ever make this movie, but if they do, I hope you get what you're looking for.
