This film, Tomb Raider 2, is a big challenge. It's quite exhausting.

When I heard about the first Tomb Raider, I was very interested and I would have liked to have directed that. When I was approached for the second film, I was delighted.

Lara Croft: Tomb Raider,

I think what makes a good action film is a story that gets you involved. Just action, by itself, is not going to work.

[The] Lara Croft: Tomb Raider ... I would certainly be thrilled.

We're surrounded by violence, and we see so much of it on TV, especially the news programs. We almost become numb. And that forces filmmakers to try to outdo themselves... They say, 'Look what I can do,' and it becomes like a showoff thing. To me, that's ridiculous. Filmmaking isn't a contest!
