Head of the studio at Crystal Dynamics, Darrell Gallagher, said of working with GK Films, "They are working from this new take that we've given them, It's a good partnership. We're seeing the challenges through the same lens. It was important for both of us to have a cohesive version of the franchise. We didn't want to see a film version that was a continuation of the old 'Tomb Raider' films."
Those two old "Tome Raider" films stared Angelina Jolie and grossed almost half a billion dollars at the worldwide box-office.
Noah Hughes, the Creative Director for Crystal Dynamics, spoke about the Lara Croft character, "Looking at Lara as a character, she was still going to be an intellectual heroine, a brilliant archaeologist, but more athletic, more competent in traversal and puzzle-solving and combat, She really embodies adventure. She's an expression of all the things that are exciting and fun about going on epic adventures. There's an X factor that no one can explain but is universal in design. She's a great character to work with."
The guessing games are sure to start about who will play the leading role, as filling Jolie's boots is going to take some doing.
