New Lara Croft model shows she speaks, does tricks

by Alexander Sliwinski { Aug 12th 2008 at 5:00PM }

Yesterday, Alison Carroll was revealed as the latest promotional Lara Croft flesh-model for the Tomb Raider franchise. Today, there's a couple videos of Carroll talking (boring) and doing flips in short-shorts (wheee!). OK, before the feminists have a freak out, we're totally semi kidding. To her credit, Carroll used to be a gymnast, so she actually can do some of Lady Croft's more stylish moves.

If hearing Carroll's British accent ups the Tomb Raider heroine's sex appeal and gets you to buy Underworld this November, then the girl's done her job. The videos of Carroll's meeting with the press can be found after the break.

[Thanks, jkaccnt]

I for one am looking forward to Underworld.

Bad Mojo @ Aug 12th 2008 5:04PM

Just another excuse for the nip-slip pic :P

Obie @ Aug 12th 2008 7:07PM

It's her bra, don't get too excited, kid.

Cesaria (Pitchfork Fest 2008 FTMFW!) @ Aug 12th 2008 5:05PM

I'd take her out for a nice dinner and ask her about her personality.

Aero @ Aug 12th 2008 5:30PM

Sicko

samfish @ Aug 12th 2008 5:36PM

Ahh, and then slip her a roofie and take her home.

Doin' things the old fashioned way, I see!

Cesaria (Pitchfork Fest 2008 FTMFW!) @ Aug 12th 2008 5:40PM

Yeah, the waiter gives you a weird look when you drag her unconscious body back to your car.

shrapnel09 @ Aug 12th 2008 5:59PM

lolz, I've always admired your styles

Cesaria (Pitchfork Fest 2008 FTMFW!) @ Aug 12th 2008 6:27PM

Wait...whose? Mine? Samfish? Cuz I've always admired samfish's styles.

Saria the Cat @ Aug 12th 2008 5:06PM

Well, to her credit, she seems to be the best fit for the role. Hot? Check. Acrobatics? Check. Not an idiot? Check. Not an anorexic Angelina wraith? Check. She actually looks like a healthy, naturally beautiful woman. All in all, I'd say I like her. :)

Noshino @ Aug 12th 2008 5:08PM

and to top it all, she has an accent...

Fernando Rocker @ Aug 12th 2008 5:10PM

... and even more on top, Saria likes her =p

Ridgecity @ Aug 12th 2008 5:17PM

Don't give me ideas Saria.... I'm glad you are here raising the Joystiq Hot Reader ratio...

Maverick Saturn @ Aug 12th 2008 5:19PM

And shes living 10 mins away from me apparently :D Chances are shes not home at the mo tho :(

Saria the Cat @ Aug 12th 2008 5:30PM

Wait, who's on top of who?

Shaq-Fu @ Aug 12th 2008 5:34PM

Don't forget the Coppertone

Jakka (Not sure why he got banned?) @ Aug 12th 2008 5:38PM

Maverick, you are such a mofo.You've just ruined all our nerd-dreams.

Oh, and I still think that the other one was better.Karima somethin', right?

syrik zero @ Aug 12th 2008 6:38PM

That still picture doesn't do her much good. I would give her a double check under hotness... That accent adds a lot =D

Haggard @ Aug 12th 2008 7:44PM

She doesn't to me. It's YOU americans who have the accent!

Cody @ Aug 12th 2008 9:05PM

Saria:

I could have sworn about 3 months ago or something like that, your username posted a comment on some random article saying that your avatar was your girlfriend and her cat. Did said girlfriend take over the Saria the Cat Joystiq account? Thanks for any and all clarification on this matter.

Saria the Cat @ Aug 12th 2008 9:12PM

@Cody: o_O I can't remember ever posting something like that, but if I did, it must have been a joke. I'm a girl, named Stephanie, and I've had this handle for about 7 years now. And I don't have a girlfriend. My avatar is a smaller version of my Facebook profile picture of me. The only other time I've seen a Saria the Cat was when a Deviant Art user posted up some furry pictures and named his furry "Saria the Cat," and I was a douche and asked him to rename the character because it freaked me out.

Fernando Rocker @ Aug 12th 2008 5:06PM

Well... she has pretty teeth.

samfish @ Aug 12th 2008 5:31PM

I'd have never guessed you to be an odontophiliac.

Danny @ Aug 12th 2008 6:11PM

No he probably likes men but he can appreciate the beauty in a nice set of teeth.

Korova Pamplona @ Aug 12th 2008 8:14PM

I had a friend whose line was "You have the prettiest white part of the eye I have ever seen." Or maybe he stole it from someone. I think that beats the pretty teeth complement by a mile.

shrapnel09 @ Aug 12th 2008 5:09PM

I am not attracted to women with attitudes, too cliche and obvious for my tastes, however if/when the opportunity arrives I will gently squeeze her breasts until she felt uncomfortable.

Drak @ Aug 12th 2008 5:11PM

Something tells me it isn't going to take very long...

Sora @ Aug 12th 2008 5:14PM

You'd actually stop when she started feeling uncomfortable?!

I kid, I kid.

shrapnel09 @ Aug 12th 2008 5:17PM

Yes i would stop, i am a man of honor and believe when a woman feels uncomfortable around me, it is time to stop. I have had too many restraining orders and court cases in my life to know when to say when. I respect her and her well developed breasts, thus i shall enjoy them with moderation.

Zertoss @ Aug 12th 2008 5:18PM

I wonder who is going to feel uncomfortable after the inevitable pistol whipping.

Maverick Saturn @ Aug 12th 2008 5:20PM

Shrapanel, you do make me laugh :)

shrapnel09 @ Aug 12th 2008 5:24PM

pistol whipping? you are correct, i will get hurt badly.. as much as i respect women and their breasts i also enjoy beat downs laid upon me along with some rope and a little whip cream on top, i do not want cherries however.. the cherry juice creates stains on any remaining clothing i have on.

I will likely make sure all fabric is removed in order to enjoy the cherry on top, it wouldn't be complete without one.

Maverick Saturn @ Aug 12th 2008 5:28PM

Hush :S There are kiddies here :O lol

samfish @ Aug 12th 2008 5:30PM

Don't be a pussy about it, though, shrapnel. If you're going to have bondage sex with her and use a cherry, she has to make sure it stays on you by inserting the cherry stem into your urethra.

You wouldn't be able to call yourself a sniveling he-bitch, if you don't.
