With something like 'Tomb Raider,' it's very intimidating to step into the boots of Lara Croft.
But I would love to have played Angelina Jolie in 'Tomb Raider'. Lara Croft! I've done the training so I'm half-way there. Now I just need to get her face and body! She is so hot.
From her first superheroine role in 'Lara Croft: Tomb Raider' - which earned $275 million globally in 2001, back when that was real money - Jolie has been the one actress who can stand up to any male star and stare him down.
I still rate the bit in the first 'Tomb Raider' where the T Rex comes round the end of the valley and roars as one of the most awesome gaming experiences, and I still adore 'Tomb Raider' for putting that in my life.
There is definitely something that has to be said for me liking the action, Lara Croft type stuff. I really want to explore that side of me.
I want people to see the action side of me. I love all of that stuff and it would be a dream to do that Lara Croft-type role.
I felt like Lara Croft while doing stunts.
I was obsessed with 'The Lion King' as a kid, and I really wanted to go work in an animal sanctuary and have my Lara Croft moment.
I love playing females that are put into these pressure-cooker situations, but they're real. I didn't want to be this kind of Lara Croft superwoman.
For me, there have been times when an action movie, even a 'Tomb Raider,' has helped me get out of myself and be physical again. It's like therapy.
I wanna try doing a movie similar to 'The Walking Dead,' an action-horror, or something similar to 'Lara Croft.'
I love to do films of all shapes and sizes and feelings and genres. So for me to go from Tomb Raider straight into Dear Frankie, there's nothing that excites me more than to keep mixing it up.
I found in one of the tombs an inscription saying, 'If you touch my tomb, you will be eaten by a crocodile and hippopotamus.' It doesn't mean the hippo will eat you, it means the person really wanted his tomb to be protected.
This film, Tomb Raider 2, is a big challenge. It's quite exhausting.
The launch of 'Tomb Raider III' was actually my first experience of the games industry.
I've been a fan of Lara Croft. She's gorgeous. She's sexy. She's iconic. She's British.
