There, I said it, and to quote Dave Foley, "I feel better for having said it!"

Anyhow, I can't believe you would want Zeta-Jones in this picture (your opinion, of course, and I respect that). The obvious choice for Lara Croft is Elizabeth Hurley, who would nicely fill out Lara's wardrobe a heckuva lot better than Zeta-Jones.

I don't know if Erika Eleniak is too "shirt," but she sure fills out a shirt! She would be a very interesting choice for Laura if she could handle the accent and looked good as a brunette.

I think the very underrated David Whitaker would write a great score for the movie!

If you ever bash Zimmer again on this board I will make you feel so emotionaly withdrawn that Peter K will have to ban me for it...And that goes for all of you out there! Zimmer has such a wide range of musical talent that its astounding. I mean, to go from The Thin Red Line to Prince of Egypt in the same year can't be beaten. And let's not forget the creative talent that went into the masterpiece, Crimson Tide.

Here, more than anybody else, is THE prime choice to score this movie.

If you want to hear what I mean, go get the "Point of No Return" score/album. Those few score tracks will shake your home theatre, and bring tears to your eyes with emotion and drama. It's action packed, dramatic, and even alittle comical. Quite an interesting score, and probably one of his most underrated. Though not one of his best, I think the Tomb Raider score should reflect some of this music. Let's not forget this is a video game about running around in dungeons, solving puzzles, and killing things. We can't get TOO dramatic with it.

np Predator 2 (on Voyages compilation)

Y'know, Carter Burwell doesn't score many adventures; it would be nice to see what he does with this. I mean he worked with Simon West before. Why not again?

That said, it sure would be nice to see a baby boomer guy make a John Williams-like leap to bombastic immortality with this one. I too would offer the names Broughton and James Newton Howard.

But also Debney, Ottman, and--listen closely folks--Tom Newman.

I think that young Thomas would be great for a film like this; he may never accept the challenge...but I sure wish he would. I think that too few appreciate his atmospheric and contemporary sound. He could rally more fans with a kick-back action/adventure score and album.

Also, the trailer looks quite cool. Maybe not the most original thing, but it sure looks like it's going to be entertaining fun. What more could you ask for? And I was quite impressed by Jolie's accent too.

I should dammit!

Of the better possibilities I would say POLEDOURIS,BURWELL,DANNA and CHRIS YOUNG ...more than likely it'll be Trevor Rabid or Mark Masticater

WILLIAMS,GOLDSMITH and HORNER would all be safe hand's but I would prefer it if none of them were involved!

Howsabout ELMER BERNSTEIN?....now there's a thought!
