Beckinsale - get real! After her performance in those vampire movies, she should be forced to wear tight leather at all times, but to only face away from the camera and NEVER EVER say anything.

Cordelia Bugeja!?!??!

Is she the only other dark haired, slightly large breasted English actress under 35 we could muster?

C'mon guys... we can do better, surely!

Michelle Ryan - that bird out of Jackal and the recent (doomed) remake of Bionic Woman (and Eastenders original, no?). Fit, curvy, dark hair, not dissimilar looks to Lara and, er, English.

Let's also not forget Rhona Mitra, one of the original Croft meat puppets and the most alike, IMO. Suitably pneumatic, athletic and English. Acting ability... who cares, it's a fecking adventure.

Rhona was incredibly adequate in that recent(ish) walled Scotland romp she was in, waht was it called, Doomsday or some such tosh.

Although I'm no fan of huge plastic titties, she gets my vote!

Megan Fox
she has one of the prettiest faces in Hollywood... her blue eyes could go right through you. She also has an incredible complexion and curves that drive men wild

Sexy: Check
Hot: erm, isn't that the same thing?
Young: Check.
Bland: Check.
American: Check.

Lara is English. They f**ked it up by getting a yank to play her before, they don't have to make the same mistake again.

Lena Headley would be perfect I think... (aka Sarah Connor)

True shes not 'young' but I dont think Lara need be. Other than that shes got the looks and is English!

I may be branded sexist or worse "conventional", but I don't think anybody should be considered to play Lara if they don't have an entry on Chickipedia!

Angelina Jolie - check
Megan Fox - check
Kate Beckinsale - check
Summer Glau - check
Rhona Mitra - check
Michelle Ryan - check
Karima Adebibe - check
Cordelia Bugeja - don't call us, we'll call you

Even Lara herself has an entry! Come on, Cordelia! Keep up!

I do not think you are sexy, nor that you should have to live in a convent. But I do not think that failing to have an entry on a lowest-common-denominator wiki site should be held against anyone. In fact, on reflection, I think the opposite. Chikipedia is populated by Front readers. The girls who get listed on their are... well, a little bit common.

I still remember, when they first started talking about casting for the original Tomb Raider film, that I thought Jennifer Connelly should be in the running, too.
