“I’ve never really worn tight clothes like these,” Angelina said, when asked how it felt to play the Lara Croft character. Bringing a fictional character to life can be a challenge and Oscar-winning costume designer Lindy Hemming was brought in to perfect the look.

Angelina went through months of physical training to prepare for the role. “In my first week here they took away cigarettes, alcohol and bread, but I’ve never eaten so much in my life. I’ve done months of training and I’ve gained weight and I finally feel like a woman. The trailer features great stunt work, making for some very interesting action sequences.

While there is a slight aura of cheese in some of the elements, over all it looks like Tomb Raider may be work checking out when it is released. Check out the trailer in either Real video, Quicktime, or Windows media
