If she didn't do it, I couldn't think who else would have been suitable. I probably wouldn't have even done the film. I can't think of anyone who could be gorgeous and sexy, but also be a fantastic actress, and yet have this dark side, this edge. Which Angelina portrays really well. For young males, you get to watch this fantastic body in front of you, and for women, they get to project themselves into it.
Girls seem to love the game as well.
And it's a brain teaser too. You have to puzzle your way through things. Newsweek or Time did the pole of the ten most recognisable people in the world, and it was the Pope, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Mother Theresa and Lara Croft. That was the top five, and she wasn't even real. Lara Croft, the character, is bigger than Tomb Raider, the game.
