Som vi alla vet återstår knappt en månad nu innan vår svenska Oscars-vinnare Alicia Vikanders kommande Tomb Raide-rulle (redigt baserad på Crystal Dynamics 2013-spel) och inför biopremiären har hon såklart gjort en hel del intervjuer. I en av dem fick hon frågan om vad han tycker om att det finns flera olika versioner av karaktären (både i spel- och film-världen).
"I think it's a wonderful character that has been with us for like 22 years. She's become a great role model and I love the fact that she's been able to take such a big place as a female character in the gaming world and in cinema. I think there's definitely room for this character to evolve, and it felt like it came out in '96, and I think it reflects a strong woman with the same kind of essence still as a smart, very curious, feisty, vulnerable woman. It's almost like she has changed due to how society has changed, she has become more a woman of now, of the time."
Alicia pratar sedan lite om hennes första möte med Lara Croft som spelkaraktär:
"I was probably around 10-ish when I probably walked in - I didn't have a PlayStation at home, very sadly - and I walked into my friend's house and I remember that I saw the screen of the TV and I had never seen a female protagonist in a video game. I was really curious and I asked those older boys in that family if I could get a chance to play. I think I got to Peru and then there were some wolves and I just freaked out and didn't get to play more, but I did play the Anniversary version later on in my teens when that came out. Then I played the rebooted games before I started to do the film and realized then how time-consuming it is, but mostly ... when I grew up, I was a big computer games fan, a lot of point-and-click games like Broken Sword and Monkey Island, things like that. I was very aware of Lara and also due to Angelina Jolie and her films." Länk
Vad tror du om denna film?
Tomb Raider är regisserad av norsken Roar Uthaug som är väldigt o-rutinerad i sammanhanget.
Alicia är alltså en stor fan av Tomb Raider och Lara Croft sedan tioårs-åldern.
Här på Gamereactor ser vi väldigt mycket fram emot filmen...
