Perusing an article over at Syfy, via The Escapist and ShowBizSpy pretty much elicited that reaction in me. I don’t try to be a hater, I really don’t, but come on. Lara Croft? Yes it’s merely the latest reality star thinking that Hollywood is going to be laid out for them simply because they’re a name. She might want to have a talk with Paris about that at Nobu, Skybar or wherever they’ll meet up with other vacuous celebutantes this week (although Paris did do a pretty good Paris Hilton ion Supernatural last season)..
A notable quotable from the ShowBizSpy piece from somebody supposedly “in the know”: “This will be something very different to Angelina’s Lara,” a source said. “Kim is wanted to play a far more comic-strip version of Lara which would be shot in 3-D and aimed at a teen audience.” And from the almost-never-Mrs. Reggie Bush: “I would love to do more acting,” she said in December last year. “I
have so much going on but acting is definitely exciting to me. I’m
hoping to do more TV and I would really love to make movies.” Finally, from the Escapist article: Sources have also divulged that Kardashian has
been taking acting lessons for quite some time now. She wants to make
her big screen debut by putting these skills to good use filling the
shoes of Lara Croft.
Although, there would be a couple of big benefits to the film if it were in 3D. Tee hee hee. Okay, sorry, I’m done.

lara croft has big tits. kim kardashian has big tits.
works for me
I recommend her early work; her 'home video' phase, to be precise.
The fake-laughing is dumb. It's a nothing part in a stupid movie. Why NOT give it to her?
The Jolie films are awful as hell. Who cares. I only watched those shitty movies to see her tits and I'll only check this out because Kim Kardashian has amazing tits. I win!
I would pay to see KK in that silver outfit Lara wore!!! Mmmmmmm!
Yeah, fuck it, let her do it. It's just Lara Croft, didn't take a lot of acting chops to pull off last I checked.
Kelly Brook would make a better Croft than this vapid waste of space.
Cast Hellen fucking Mirren if you want it won't help. The inevitable shit script, Paul W.S. Anderson-esque (or himself, why not?) direction and slow-mo CGI will assure its a dump big enough to have come out of an ass as big as Kardashian's.
I actually think she'd make a better wonder woman than croft. She has the wonders, which I enjoyed very much in her sex tape, and of course she's a woman. But if she's croft, so be it. Just make her wear a green top this time. Why does everything have to be black costume or just a darker version when they make these live action versions?
Better than Catwoman, at least…
She should stick to crappy homemade porn. That's about all her 'acting talent' warrants.
Fuck it, give it to her. The movie's not gonna be high art anyway. Kim K. Looks the part
They could make a Tomb Raider movie with Kim as Lara with the only sound for the entire movie being public domain Christmas songs and no one would notice.
I think I just threw up a little in my mouth. Somebody help me.
It's "cachinnation."
I feel sort of, OK A LOT, ashamed of myself for admitting this but I do think she's pretty.
But yeah, she should stick to doing that, wearing something that shows off her cleavage and showing her ass.
Croft isn't a character she's just eye candy. And with that being said i'd MUCH rather look at KK then Jolie in that outfit. MUCH rather.
As a non-US CHUDder, I am unfamiliar with Ms K. Is she a real woman or a demo from the manufacturers of graphics cards?
To all of those OK with stuff like that: So you are all sooo into movies that you don't actually demand any kind of effort from those making them. Do you actually give a shit? Do you care at all about movies or are you just following movie news to feed some kind of OCD? And before someone comes up with a genius reply like "Dude, it's just Tomb Raider" I'd have to say no. If you love movies you want every movie made to be good. Or at least have some effort put into it. You're part of the problem.
I had to look up who she was, you can see I don't watch reality television ever (I've worked on a few though). Let her be in a movie I would never see anyway, I walked out of the theater of the first Tomb Raider movie I'm not going to ever see another one.
"aimed at a teen audience"? Do teens even know who Lara Croft is? Because I'm pretty sure nobody's actually given a shit about Tomb Raider in a goddamned decade. This really is a great big bowl of WHO CARES.
oh boy how I´m waiting that all the kARDASHIANs of the grow old and beyond help of plastic surgery. to the age when personality stars to matter – when there`s none – there`s nothing left.
FACT: Kim Kardashian is hotter than Angelina Jolie. So this can only be an improvement to the insignificant Lara Croft franchise.
#18, she is part of a disturbing trend here, people don't actually need to have done anything significant to be famous. For example, the Hilton sisters, or look up the show "Pretty Wild". I'm sorry, but Kim's big ol gutter-butt in those tight Lara-brown shorts? Ew.
It's really kind of fucked up that we've arrived at a place where we consider Angelina's Jolie's Tomb Raider performance a serious interpretation. But what can I say, since Transformers 2 I've pretty much accepted that cinema has died. Have fun with it, kardashian. I'm sure people will go. They'll laugh in theaters and come home and not know why.
#19, well said, Devin! I concur. We need to purge CHUD of all these mouth-breathers.
What the fuck is with the, "Who cares it's just Tomb Raider?" bullshit that's going around. If Hollywood is going to try and get me to watch a Tomb Raider film, then it should be good. So fuck Kardashian then. Get someone who can actually do the part, not someone who looks somewhat attractive.
Absolutely agree with #19.
Really can't add much more to what both #19 and #26 (and anyone else who agrees with them). Wholeheartedly agree as someone who loves film and wish H-town would just fuckin' give a shit anymore, too. Let me add: The possibilities of what *could* be done with an amazing Tomb Raider film is endless. A female "Indiana Jones" if anything. sigh.
Sure she can be Lara Croft…for Halloween!
If so, I will require many towels [giggity].
While chudders are moaning about the quality of their beloved 90s adventure game franchise, give a thought to female actors and the quality of leading parts.
