Karl
Stewart, global brand director for Crystal Dynamics,
talks to the Hollywood Reporter about Tomb Raider
and GK Films developing a film based on the same
storyline. "The intent, so far, is that we go
back and tell the exact same story." says Karl
Stewart.
"Of course,
what we tell in 10 hours is very different than
what they will tell in a blockbuster movie of
90 minutes. There will be some truncating, and
we're very excited to see what comes out."
Commenting
on the earlier films released by Paramount Pictures,
Stewart says: "Lara Croft had broken new ground
in the video game era 15 years ago. It brought
personality, a new character, and emotion that
we hadn't really seen before. To see that depicted
on the big screen, especially in the first Tomb
Raider.
"Angelina
Jolie did such a great job that, of course, everybody
wants to see their character that they just spent
eight to 10 hours playing live out an adventure
in a movie. We see this as a very important juncture
in video game to movie adaptations. We hope to
be able to continue that with this next Tomb Raider."

Reporter.
