We are creating a fabulous franchise with an incredible female action hero.

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.

Summer movies are spectacles; that's what you pay 10 dollars to see. You want to get teased by effects sometimes. I think that will never stop.

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

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.

When I heard about the first Tomb Raider, I was very interested and I would have liked to have directed that. When I was approached for the second film, I was delighted.
