I had a very strong-willed mother, who I totally adored. She was always in control of her life.
From Jan de Bont
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.
Angelina wanted to make sure that any fighting in the movie would be comparable to any male actor. Everything from stick fighting to horse riding was real to her.
We're all complex human beings, and if some of that complexity shows through, I think it's advantageous for the movie.
Being in an area of the planet where scientists believe mankind started is quite amazing.
In regards to The Haunting, people compared it to the old movie, which is unfair. We didn't have the rights to the movie. I couldn't duplicate a single thing because that would have been legal infringement.
I think what makes a good action film is a story that gets you involved. Just action, by itself, is not going to work.
I really believe action will always be there and will never disappear.
I think there are a lot more relationship scenes in my movies that people tend to overlook. A lot of scenes really feel real and are about the characters.
This film, Tomb Raider 2, is a big challenge. It's quite exhausting.
