Summer Glau is PERFECT!

I think that Summer Glau is perfect for the role and that they should definitely pick her to be a younger Lara.

Just look how kickass she is:

What's wrong with Rhona Mitra? Not enough of a box office draw? Hell, she has a British accent so it doesn't need to be faked and her body is rockin'!

Rhona Mitra would work. She`s was in the Underworld prequel and Doomsday. She has proven she can be an action star.

Perfect... to play a small girly-girl?

Seriously, she's certainly not unattractive but Summer as Lara?!

I've never seen where the whole "Summer Glau is a super-tough action hero babe" thing comes from. She's a pretty, petite dancer! Just 'cos Joss Whedon says something doesn't make it true.

I like Summer as an actress, but she is certainly not Lara Croft material, IMO.

I hope they cast and unknown ACTRESS. It's not just the looks that count, she should actually be able to act. BTW Jolie was fine but I never really liked her as Lara. MAybe it's because all two movies were awful.
