Doomsday – Lara Croft meets a plague

This is a crossover post between Lesbian Geek and Lesbian Gamers .com. You’ll see why shortly, but first here’s the upshot. Doomsday is an upcoming film by Neil Marshall, he’s a British writer / director perhaps best known for werewolf gore fest Dog Soldiers and girly caving flick The Descent. Grrls may well think Doomsday is cool because it stars Rhona Mitra as a specialist soldier named Eden Sinclair.

The clip below the theatrical trailer and shows the hero Eden Sinclair kicking ass as well as giving the background to the story (in short Scotland is plague ridden and closed off to the rest of the UK, but returned to 25 years later to look for a cure).

The gaming link comes in that Rhona Mitra was the original Lara Croft model. Be sure and check out the full trailer and tell us you don’t think Rhona would make a pretty cool Lara Croft, sure maybe not as cool as Angelina, but pretty darn close. On a Lesbian Geek side link in, Rhona is also the lead in the upcoming werewolf film Underworld: Rise of the Lycans.

   She does slightly resemble Kate Beckinsale but I dont think its Underworld without her.
   On another note I also have a lesbian Lara Croft connection for you. The new voice actress for Lara in Anniversary and Legend is done by Keeley Hawes. She acted as the character Kitty Butler in the TV drama Tipping the Velvet. If no one has seen this 3 part series it is a must! It’s based on a Sarah Waters novel which is also superb.
