Quotes from article-

"Miss Carroll has represented Great Britain as a professional display gymnast, and has performed in front of Prince Charles."

She will appear at promotions and conferences in character, performing stunts such as back flips, and will play the part in TV commercials.

Miss Carroll will even answer questions on chat shows as Lara, after taking a crash course in archaeology. She said: "I've always wanted to be an action hero."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

She's already sounds like a awesome Lara Model!

EDIT= I've changed my mind, I like the new model better than the previous ones.

Thanks to GoranAgar for this.

I can't actually make up my mind yet. I have mixed opinions of her; however, I think this model has a lot more to give; therefore, I am waiting until she demonstrates her true Lara Croft model capabilities. From the sounds of it, she can play the part which is definitely an encouraging sign.

As it stands, my favourite model would have to be Jill de Jong for Angel of Darkness because she was spot on. A good selection I thought.

A model isn't complete without the traditional model pose




EDIT: Removed link to the controversial website

She's definitely got the potential.

They always look too posed, their expressions too stock. "This is my tough face." (Her's looks like "Blue Steel" and there's big points for that subreference. )

I never get to excited about the models, although it's nice to see one that doesn't look like she'd blow away when the wind blew hard. And the pants are not terribly low cut.

LOL...

Seriously she is a very good Lara, because she looks more like the Lara than either Karima or Angelina did. Angelina didn't really look like Lara at all, though Karima was close but Alison is the best yet and unlike the others she can pull off Lara's moves.

Guys, please remember the first photo shoot with Karima. The one in front of the climbing wall. That was horrible too.

Let's wait what she delivers next.

Karima is much better than her. Uf, she doesn't look like Lara.

EDIT: But maybe will be better because of her gymnastic trainings. She will be more Lara because of that.

Just look at all the new outfits, they are the skimpiest yet. And compare the swimsuit in the Mediterranean Sea level with the TR2 swimsuit (also seen in TRA). Then ask yourself again which way CD is going.

Alison was unveiled this morning to the UK press as the new live Lara Croft and these shots are from one of the photo agencies who attended the unveil. These are not official Eidos shots and we are trying to get the offending ones taken down.

The official shots highlight Alison's athletic ability much better than these shots.

In the mean time, I'll be removing some of the offending shots from this forum. Any questions, send me a PM.
