Body Double Needed

[Blind Gossip] Lots of re-shoots are needed for this action film that has finished principal photography.

However, the lead actress will not be participating. They are going to have a body double doing the work for her.

They were thinking of floating the rumor that the reason she can’t do it herself is that she broke her ankle during production. That would also serve as a convenient excuse as to why she missed so many days of production.

Really? What a disaster!

Nothing to do with Johnny Depp, who is pictured above with his own body double!

    I would say she’s recuperating with her “boyfriend.”

    Lara Croft
    Alicia V (they should find another actress for future films)
    She’s having an allergic reaction to medication

    Well, this film certainly isn’t going to spawn a franchise. Not unless that girl can get some help, anyways. Very sad for a such a talented, beautiful girl to have so many issues.

    I don’t think there is a creative excuse (other than the truth). The usual mundanes “suffering from exhaustion”, “working on another project” will likely be used.

    Optional: alien abduction. Honestly, I would tell the truth, but then again I’m not part of the Hollywood spin machine, and for good reason.

    Optional – She recently joined the Church of Scientology and is doing a really heavy duty Purification Rundown and is under quarantine while Tom Cruise and John Travolta help her to release all the toxins from her body.

    Alicia Vikander. Addicted to painkillers. I would just come clean. It’s a very pertinent topic and might even help other people to come clean

    It’s not a good sign that you’re addicted to cocaine whilst headlining your first major film as a lead

    Production on the movie finished on June 12. Seriously this movie seems like a train hobbling to the finish line. I hope all the movie people polish the movie shiny and make it work.
    I would say she was off in the Himalayan Buddhist retreat where she is off the grid for a few months to find her self. Or say ‘secret’ training for an unnamed future movie project. That one is always a good vague one.

    Alicia Vikander – Lara Croft

    It looks like this movie is going to be a disaster…

    There are reports they’ll be reshooting about 30% of the movie stunts because the reception for her clothes was bad (apparently they were too small). But it’ll be done using a stunt double so Alicia won’t be in the reshoots. And it seems that Alicia did a lot of her own stunts.

    If the reason really is the clothes (due to online sjw outcry) it is a pretty dumb reason and I seriously doubt they’d spend over 10 million just because of that.

    She’s not that great. I don’t understand why they didn’t just replace her. It’s not like she’s absolutely stunning, talented and irreplaceable. She’s plain looking. There are millions of girls out there, who would make a way better Lara Croft.

      Why haven’t they droped her like they did lilo when they couldn’t insure her..

    • KatarinaJ says

      I don’t get why she was even chosen. I like her look in general but it is intriguing. She seems almost fragile with an intelligence in her eyes. Compared to Angelina who had the gusto, physique and attitude to play Lara Croft, I am just not seeing it and I imagine all the crap going on is going to make it bomb. She looks too skinny too, not robust enough IMHO.
