This film, Tomb Raider 2, is a big challenge. It's quite exhausting.

We're all complex human beings, and if some of that complexity shows through, I think it's advantageous for the movie.

I had a very strong-willed mother, who I totally adored. She was always in control of her life.

As a director, you try to find what is creative.

I think the audience would like to see movies that are stunning to watch. I really think they'd like to see spectacles.

Being in an area of the planet where scientists believe mankind started is quite amazing.

Lara Croft is such a strong individual, she's very driven, she doesn't need a man, she's speaks her own mind, and that she's in control of her own life. It's a lot of what women want and have.
