Alicia Vikander over Tomb Raider

De eerste recensies van Tomb Raider zijn zoals al te verwachten waren zeer matig, één website noemde het zelfs: kijken naar een laadscherm van twee uur. Dus de video game film vloek heeft wederom toe geslagen. Ter promotie van deze fail had de website Collider een interview met Alicia Vikander en daar van kan je nu hier onder een klein stukje lezen.


Question: How did this film come your way? Did the filmmakers come to you, or did you pursue them?

ALICIA VIKANDER
: I had a call, through my agents, saying that they had reached out, and we set up a meeting with me and (director) Roar [Uthaug]. That's how it all began. I was curious. I had said to my agents, on the phone, "What?! That's been done." And then, they told me that it was referring to the 2013 reboot of the game. I haven't played video games much, for the last 15 years, but I had read about it online and I did my research. I was like, "Oh, this is actually a very different take on this character and this story." When I read something, my imagination starts spinning, and I was like, "Sure, I would love to meet Roar." And then, we met and had the same idea of what you could possibly do with this film.

What is your relationship with the video game?

VIKANDER
: I was a girl, probably around nine or ten years old, when I walked into the room, at a friend's house. Sadly, I had no Playstation at my house, so I went to a friend's house. I hadn't seen a female protagonist in a computer game, and I was so curious. I actually remember asking the older boys if I was allowed to play, and they didn't let me, so I had to wait until it was just me in that room, and then I did play it. I was more into computer games then, so I played the anniversary version of the first game, around my mid-teens.
