During
the recent premier of Gone In 60 Seconds, the
Irish Times interviewed Angelina Jolie about life,
love and of course, her new role as Eidos's heroine
Lara Croft Training for the Simon West movie has
been far from easy, according to Jolie, after
having spent the last two months on an army course
completing rigorous exercises.
"I'm
off cigarettes and alcohol and sugar and everything
else and I'm away from my husband. I'm doing kick
boxing and yoga and bungee-jumping and deep-sea
diving and everything else. "It's so physically
demanding and I can't cheat it, because I just
won't make it through the movie. We get to go
to Iceland and Cambodia and lots of other places,
which is not a life you can complain about."
According
to Jolie, the movie will not be computer driven,
meaning that most of the action will be shot live
in the wilderness, which should prove exhausting
for the cast and crew. Although having turned
down action adventure movies in the past, Angelina
says, "I've been fortunate enough to play women
who are vulnerable," she says. "But I think Lara's
a great role model. We're not making her overly
sexy, we're taking the breasts down a bit."
