Alicia Vikander spelar som vi alla vet rollen som Lara Croft i den nya Tomb Raider-rullen som har biopremiär imorgon. På frågan om hon någonsin var nervös över den förbannelse som verkar vila över varenda film som baseras på ett TV-spel, svarade hon nyligen såhär i en intervju med filmsiten Cinemablend:
"That's not the kind of thing you're conscious of when you make a film, to be honest. I think if I would've gone into any film in any genre that I did think that this can go to shit, that's just not the way that you approach a job. I looked at the things that got me excited to do this. Of course, when I got the call the first time, even I was like 'Okay, I played the game when I was a kid. I haven't really played for the last 15 years.' But I was like 'They've done a film already.' Angelina made her into an icon. So I was like 'Why are you making a new one?' That was my biggest question."
Alicia berättar sen hur hon kände inför det faktum att den nya filmen enbart skulle baseras på Crystal Dynamics 2013-spel:
"Then they introduced me to the fact that it was gonna be much more based on these rebooted games, and I had been reading about that online and I went back and did my research, and it was Roar who had done The Wave that I was really impressed by, and then I realized 'Okay, so there's actually a possibility to do something very different here.' It's an origin story, which opens up the possibility for story. That is what you need in a film adapted on anything, honoring the essence of this character and the fanbase and what they want, but also just telling a good story and choosing what that is."
