Lara Croft close-up looking fierce and full body shot crouching for Tomb Raider anime
Summary Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft starts off immediately following the events of the highly successful video game Survivor series. Lara Croft has abandoned her friends to embark on perilous solo adventures, but she is forced to return home when a dangerous and powerful Chinese artifact is stolen from Croft Manor. To track down this thief, she must venture around the world and to the depths of forgotten tombs, where she will be forced to confront her true self.
Screen Rant spoke with showrunner Tasha Huo about the new Netflix animated series. She explains that she is a big fan of Tomb Raider herself, so working on this series has been a dream come true. Tasha also details what about Hayley Atwell makes her the perfect person to voice Lara Croft. While she could not reveal much, she also comments on what fans of Red Sonja can expect in the upcoming film.
Screen Rant: What was it like trying to find that balance of bringing something new to Lara, but keeping the heart of what fans like you love? Tasha Huo: It was definitely a balance. But I do feel like in playing the games, you miss a whole section of Lara's life, which is, what is it like beyond the tombs? What are her relationships like? I was always so curious when Lara could call up a friend in the middle of nowhere in Thailand.
Of Course Lara's Dresses Would Have Pockets! "She's going to have a dress that is bespoke in her way." Screen Rant: One of my favorite lines, which I thought was so relatable, was when someone mentions that they love Lara's dress, and she replies that it has pockets. Can you talk about how that came about?
Tasha Huo: I would say that I am one of you. I am a huge fan as well. And everyone who worked on this, who animated it, designed it, they all played these games when they were little girls and boys as well. So we're all coming from it from a place of we don't want to disappoint ourselves, and hopefully we don't disappoint you as well. Because if this is a show that succeeds at not disappointing us, then I think we've done a good job.
