So of course it's amazing to play her.ĭo you do anything special to get into character? I think those characteristics make someone extremely sexy. But I think the sexiest thing about Lara is really her drive and her ambition and her courage. But what they made me look like in the game is amazing. Um, I did not feel very sexy in a motion capture suit. Lara Croft is basically the original video game sex symbol. And that's what pushes her to grow, be courageous, stand up against all odds, and find it within herself to become the Lara Croft we all know and love. She has to be put in these circumstances that are nightmarish. She starts Tomb Raider as a young, naive 21-year-old, and I think in order for her to become this heroic character, she has to be pushed. And that's what you need to drive the story. Yeah, every scene that you've seen so far-there hasn't been an element to really any scene that I've filmed that hasn't been "light." It's emotionally driven. There's been a lot of talk about some of those emotionally charged scenes. It was emotionally and physically draining, but I loved it. It was an intense experience because the game is very dark, but it was fantastic. Usually you just head into an ADR booth and match the performance to the audio. What's great is I'm the first actress to do the audio and the performance capture. Having said that, though, it is being played down there right now, and I am just so tempted to run down and play. I have yet to play it, only because I'm still in the process of doing the performance capture, and I've decided that once it's done (which'll probably be around next week) I will go play it. Who hasn't seen the movies? And then of course being involved now I've lived with her basically for two and a half years working on the game. And then she's so iconic that I feel like everyone knows her.

But that was my first experience with Tomb Raider. My older brother had the game-the first Tomb Raider game-so when I got a chance to steal controls off him, I would play the game (probably terribly, I can't remember all that well how I did). I have brothers who are extremely excited and-but what is it like playing her? She's amazing! She is iconic, she's sexy, she's courageous, she's all those wonderful things and I think it was an honor to be cast as her. I think it's given me street cred in my family.
