And at this point shes in a place in her life where she cant lead a quote-unquote normal life.
And shes willing to risk anything and everything to get there.
She seems a lot more self-assured this time.
And of course he doesnt, and he ends up being more of the damsel in distress.
He is a damsel in distress.
So I think she wants to protect him, but Jonah is very loyal to a fault, maybe.
And he has to go out and follow and help Lara, too.
I love that relationship.
Can you tell me a little about the filming?
Has the motion capture process changed at all?
Was there anything different about performing the performance capture this time as opposed to the first game?
Just in two years the progression is amazing.
Its funny that you mention her hair, because thats the first thing I noticed.
Its this huge big-budget game, and Im like Her hair looks amazing!
I know, you might see like every strand.
A girls gotta do what a girls gotta do.
Was there anything memorable about any of those other smaller animations that kind of bring the character to life?
We always have to be aware of temperature, because shes going through such extreme climates.
So theres an element of even how you cower your body when youre trying to conserve heat.
Otherwise, I dont think that it makes for a very realistic performance.
More than anything, just how climate changes her.
Her voice, or anything to do with her movement.
About how long was it to film this sequel overall?
I think about two years.
The first game was three, and this game was two.
I feel like Im sort of living two lives while filming.
[laughs]
Theres a very memorable encounter early on between Lara and a bear.
Thats one of the very first things I feel like we did.
A lot of that I think was actually captured more in a VO booth, because its in gameplay.
I was hoping there was like a bear head on a stick or something.
That would be amazing.
I wish we had stuff like that, it would really be helpful.
Im going to request it if we do another game.
I was wondering how theTomb Raiderfanbase compares, and is there much overlap?
So there is definitely a crossover there.
Its more interesting when you see characters that have a little humanity to them and seem realistic.
There are always rumors that theres going to be anotherTomb Raidermovie.
Is that something that you would be interested in pursuing?
Since Lara survived Yamatai and Siberia, where do you think she should go for a vacation?
I really want her to go somewhere warm!
