Debra Messing is the Tomb Raider

Debra Messing is the Tomb Raider

Here is your first look of The Starter Wife star Debra Messing as Lara Croft, The Tomb Raider (originally played by Angelina Jolie in the 2001 movie).

Thanks to PopWrap, we learn that Debra’s character Molly dreams of a life where guns have replaced Blackberry’s. Molly’s BFF Rodney (Chris Diamantopoulos) also gets in on the spy action as Alex West, Daniel Craig’s character from Tomb Raider.

The Starter Wife airs Fridays @ 10PM on USA.

DO YOU THINK Debra Messing makes a good Lara Croft?

i don’t think Debra can be Lara Croft. She doesn’t have the look and physical required. Comedy is more suitable for her character.

It’s a good thng it is a joke b/c there is no way in helll the lovely Ms.Messing can be Laura Croft.. No Way Hosay.
Angelina Jolie is the one and only Laura Croft.

Debra is so hillarious !
I like her in Will and Grace / The Starter Wife

Angie is the best and only Lara Croft
Not only beautiful both inside and outside.

Being a mom of 6 little kids , a promising leading HW actress, a humanitarian,etc… at the same time and still look so beautiful & sexy are very demanding jobs……..

I still can not really imagine how Angie can do.

YES! I love Debra!!!

I like Debra Messing but have never seen her tv show. I am assuminmg it is a comedy? She will just make ppl think of Angie and her role as Laura Croft but there will be no comparison . Tomb Raider will always be AJ’s movie. No two ways about it.. Sexxxxxxaaay Angie.

Absolutely no comparison.

I think Debra makes the hotter Laura in these pics because she has some MEAT on her!
As that older pic of Angelina shows, even back then she was scrawny.

Kitty Kat, have you seen the Tomb Raider movies? You’ll eat word words if you do.

Jolie looked just smashingly great, hence the biggest opening for a movie by a female movie star. Angelina did her own stunts, did ya know?
Jolie has that indefinable sultry sexiness that cannot be replicated. Great casting of her for Lara Croft!

Angelina’s training for Lara Croft
She’s super hawt! She will forever be Lara Croft.

That’s pretty fun. You would have to be superbrave to doll up as Angie as Lara Croft - she knows the comparisons are coming - she’s having fun with it. I don’t think she’s trying to live up to it or anything - just be silly.

LMFAO Jared you ask Angelina Jolie Fans if anyone can compare to her in *her role as Laura Croft???? You have to be kidding! It’s not that from what i see Debra Messing is not liked but it actually is a silly question. Oh man you must have something good coming up for the next thread on Angie. Seriously this has to be a filler ontill then. Non?

NO WAY!…JOLIE ALL THE WAY!……Deb Messing is holding the gun like she’s an actor ….and like she’s uncomfortable with it…..

…..Angie holds a gun like it’s her B*i*t*c*H!!!

#27. Just this past week end, they had both Tomb Raider movies back to back. Watched them both — mind you I have both on DVD, but I watched anyway. That ’suck face’ scene with Mr. Butler in #2 still makes me dizzy. HA! HA!

Maria (Shorty) @ 12/08/2008 at 1:33 pm

#36 EXACTLY! She was having fun with it.

Messing as Lara Croft, is she trying hard to be Lara Croft in the picture?
God bless the Jolie-Pitt’s.

Angie IS The Only Laura Croft @ 12/08/2008 at 1:44 pm

jaime # 34 Thank you for the utube on Angie’s training for Laura Croft.
Never seen that before . Angie is amazing! Those stunts are really wild. WOW!! Hawt is right. The chick is brilliant.

Nobody but nobody can compare to our Angie’s Laura Croft.
Only if it is a joke and thank goodness it is.

Of course Angie is the best Lara Croft. Nobody can fill in her shoes. God bless them.

Angie Rocks! @ 12/08/2008 at 1:50 pm

Nope only one Lara Croft and we know who that is.
The one the only Angelina Jolie most powerful actress of 08.

I love Debra Messing but I don’t see her as Lara Croft

Nah, she’s not athletic enough to play the Tomb Raider.

On the other hand, I thought Angelina Jolie was a bad choice for Lara Croft, too.

I can’t win! :)

A and B Fan @ 12/08/2008 at 2:01 pm

Debra Messing looks good not so much as playing Angie’s Lara but did notice she has her lips done too.
I just watched an old movie i think from 1994 last night with DM and Anthony Hopkins (can’t remember the name of it off hand) anyway she looks much younger here then back in the 90’s. Ho Hum as much as i like Debra Messing she will never be Lara Croft even with fatter lips.

They all want to have Angie’s lips. They can’t just like they can’t be the Tomb Raider…Never.

I don’t know, I wasn’t interested in watching Tomb Raider, but Debra Messing looks pretty good as Lara Croft in this picture. Cute.

Lara Croft is a franchise in her own way. Not even Angelina Jolie really did the character justice.

It looks like a funny dream sequence … BUT, wow, it kind of confirms the fact that there’s only 1 Angelina. Accept no substitutes!
