I guess I've been questioning, "Why that place now? Why do I keep seeing people run out of other areas and not be helped?"ĭoes Lara Croft evolve, or is she a James Bond sort-of character? There are many areas that do need attention and support. I'm frustrated when I see different situations like being in Tanzania and seeing people flood out of the Congo still, and knowing that that has been going on for decades, and being in Sri Lanka and knowing that the last two decades there has been war and many people dying. You really do need to seek the truth for yourself. I've kind of been studying the difference in press in the world.When I move from Tanzania to Dubai to Cambodia, it's all presented slightly differently. I've been thinking about that a lot because I've been traveling. Since you've been out of the States, what's your view on what's going on in America and Iraq? I have traveled to places clearly in the middle of nowhere where they don't have a concept of my life as a separate person, so I have often been called "Lara" and I just sort of go with it. Have you had any strange encounters with rabid fans of the video game? The story was different, but I didn't feel a huge difference in their styles and the way they directed me. And they really make up a film like this. The stunt teams, wardrobes, sets, the grips, the electrics were the same. Everybody was the same except for the director.

How did working with Jan de Bont compare to working with Simon West? I felt freer than in the first one, and I think I needed to do a second one. There was a lot more to play with this time. Is revisiting a character stifling to your creativity? And there's actually a building with a hole in it, it's called the Dragon Path so dragons can go through it, which is amazing. I had never been there, and it's like New York City, but it's on the water. What was the most memorable location from filming the sequel? I have no patience for the game, so I tend to do other things. I just made her die all the time because I thought she sounded funny. I think we'll know, maybe, after this one comes out. I'm not the person to ask probably, I'm not sure. I would never want to be so confident with it because I loved the Indiana Jones films growing up. which will make it more interesting to watch.ĭo you think the Tomb Raider movies have the staying power of the Indiana Jones films? He took the stronger story that was more based in reality. What separates Tomb Raider from the other summer blockbusters?įrom what I understand, this is the only adventure film. I'm just glad did well, I wasn't really concerned about the critics. But I personally wanted it to be different and better. I have my own feelings about the film, and I don't tend to care about the critics.

With the sequel due to debut this summer, Jolie talked about the movie, her tattoos and life as an Oscar winner. Aside from disappointed critics across the nation, Angelina Jolie was a hit with audiences when she brought Lara Croft, the pixelated video game star, to life on the silver screen.
