![]() ![]() In the end, when she manages to get in that tomb, you hopefully celebrate with her and look up to her.It’s an odd coincidence that both Jolie and Vikander took the part of Lara Croft when they were fresh off a best supporting actress Oscar win - Jolie for for 1999’s Girl, Interrupted, Vikander for 2015’s The Danish Girl. If you have all the struggles and you feel for her being this real girl, that makes you be with her, emotionally, and then you root for her even more. It’s also very empowering, when you get to be there, in the end. You can see that in the end because I had this long span and wanted to have every single step portrayed from the beginning to the end, so that she could become the action hero that we so well know her to be. And it’s a story where she goes out in the world and all of the traits and skills that she has within her are forced out because of the transformation that she goes through and the challenges that she has. She hasn’t really been able to mourn him because she never knew what happened. I thought it was wonderful that I could play a young woman who’s still trying to find her footing in the world and who also has a story with her dad, who has been lost for seven years. We’ve seen it a lot, in these big superhero and action movies, where the origin story is a way for us to get to know the character, feel for them and relate to them, on a more human level. This film is based a lot more on the 2013 rebooted game, and she’s a normal girl, in the beginning. That makes for a really good action scene. I almost got killed, so I know that it’s life threatening to try to bicycle in London. I lived in East London when I was 20 with my girlfriends, and I used to have a bike because it’s so crazy expensive to get on the tube. The bicycle scene was tough, but I loved that. I knew I going to go out there and throw myself in the river, and do all these other things, but if we could hold onto this chemistry between our characters, then we have something to work on that’s really exciting. It really felt like there was drama going on. You can have these loud spectacles and things going on, but Walton’s performance was creeping up under my skin. That was the first day of shooting and the first scene. One of my favorite scenes was when were in the tent. VIKANDER: Sometimes that is the same one. What was your favorite scene to shoot, and which was the most difficult? We realized that, very early on, and it was something that gave me a lot of energy, throughout the shoot. To make a film like this, it’s the kind of film that I look up to in this genre, when you’re able to mix the big spectacle with heart and find something that is grounded, and make an artful, interesting story commercial and big and loud, as it should be. I’ve done a lot of what are considered art house films. When we walked around these sets, we were jumping. To make these big studio adventure films, which I’ve loved since I was a kid, is daunting. We met up in the mornings and we worked on the script. I was almost like, “Just don’t look! Can everyone just turn away? I’m gonna do this in front of the camera whilst no eyes are on me.” That was scary. For me to try to pretend that I can do an MMA fight, or go up in a ring, it was really daunting to do that in front of people. I had never taken on a character in a film like this. ![]() Physically, it was something completely different. VIKANDER: There’s so many different answers to that. At the beginning of it, was there something you thought was particularly daunting and you weren’t sure if you could pull it off, and how did you push through that? It was just tough.Ĭlearly, this role took a lot of mental and physical commitment. We had an incredible stunt team that made sure that everything was safe. VIKANDER: I’m actually covering up because you can see that I still have little wounds on my legs, but no real injuries. Were there any injuries, during this shoot? It feels different to be on a set, but then you do have rehearsal time there, too, so that you feel comfortable by the time you start shooting. And then, you take the next step and go to a set that might not be completely done yet and you start to actually practice in there. Even when it hopefully looks gritty and dirty, by the end, it is choreography. VIKANDER: You normally start in a room and you just have mats. ![]()
