Short description
Orphaned heiress, English aristocrat and intrepid archaeologist, Lara Croft, embarks on a dangerous quest to retrieve the two halves of an ancient artifact which controls time before it falls into the wrong hands. As an extremely rare planetary alignment is about to occur for the first time in 5,000 years, the fearless tomb raider will have to team up with rival adventurers and sworn enemies to collect the pieces, while time is running out. But, in the end, who can harness the archaic talisman's unlimited power?
What's left behind the scenes
- Lara's pistols in the film are Heckler & Koch USP Match.
- Lara's father, Lord Croft, was originally named Henshingly, but was changed to Richard in later games.
- Part of the film was shot in Angkor, Cambodia.
- The Buddhist ceremony in which Lara participates (following the phone call scene with Powell from Cambodia) is shown authentically and is not staged.
- The success of the Lara Croft film prompted Land Rover to release a special edition of 250 Defender Tomb Raider LE vehicles. All of them, both externally and internally, were identical to the car driven by Angelina Jolie in the film.
- Scenes from the film set in Siberia were actually filmed in Iceland.
- The film is based on the "Tomb Raider" series of computer games (1996 – present).
- In 1998, Brent V. Friedman wrote a screenplay for "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider" that was never produced. One possible reason was the massive box office failure of "Mortal Kombat: Annihilation" (1997) the previous year, for which Friedman was one of the screenwriters.
- Lara's mansion is "Hatfield House", a vast estate in Hertfordshire, England.
- For realism, the actors in the film speak with accents not native to them: American Angelina Jolie (Lara Croft) with an English accent, Englishman Daniel Craig (Alex West) with an American accent, and Ian Glen (Manfred Powell), a Scotsman, with an English accent.
- A music video for U2's hit "Elevation" from the film's soundtrack was later filmed with a "Tomb Raider" theme, and the musicians even wanted to invite Angelina Jolie to star in it.
- Although the film does not specify the year, the actual planetary alignment occurred on May 3, 2000, approximately a year before the film's release. In the film, the "conjunction" begins on May 15th.
- In 1998, Brent V. Friedman wrote a screenplay for 'Lara Croft: Tomb Raider' that never saw the light of day. One possible reason was the massive box-office failure a year earlier of 'Mortal Kombat: Annihilation' (1997), for which Friedman was one of the screenwriters.
- The exterior of Lara's estate is Hatfield House, a vast manor in Hertfordshire, England.
- For the sake of authenticity, the actors in the film speak with accents that are not their own: American Angelina Jolie (Lara Croft) uses an English accent, Englishman Daniel Craig (Alex West) uses an American accent, and Scotsman Ian Glen (Manfred Powell) uses an English accent.
- A music video themed around 'Tomb Raider' was later filmed for the U2 hit 'Elevation' from the movie's soundtrack; the musicians even wanted to invite Angelina Jolie to appear in it.
- The success of the Lara Croft film prompted Land Rover to release a special limited edition of 250 Defender Tomb Raider LE vehicles. In terms of exterior and interior design, they were identical to the car Angelina Jolie drove recklessly in the film.
