Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis through the eyes of developers - motion capture process for Lara Croft shown

I think my Lara can afford to be “uncompromising” thanks to all the previous versions of the heroine that led to this moment – to Legacy of Atlantis, and then to Catalyst. She is elegant, strong, confident. She walks into a room knowing she has the right to be there. Lara is a living, real woman. She has a very tragic past: yes, she had many privileges, but there are many tragedies and traumas in her life. She is very, very strong. And very, very capable. [Lara] has no “insecurity.” Yes, sometimes she may doubt herself, but that's not the same as “feeling insecure.” I wanted to bring that confidence to Lara. And her intelligence – she is incredibly smart.

I feel a huge responsibility stepping into the role of Lara Croft when I see “Lara Croft – Alex Walton Regan” with number one next to it on the call sheet every day. That is, essentially: Lara Croft #1 is Alex Walton Regan. This is probably the biggest project in my acting career. I think for many actors this would be the most significant event in their lives. And, whether it's Crystal, Flying Wild Hog, or Amazon – they are all really passionate about this project. And as an actress, I really enjoy feeling that. They, like me, want the project to be successful.
