‘Lara Croft: Tomb Raider’: Angelina Jolie Was Dissatisfied With the Movie Because Her Character Wasn’t ‘Sexy Enough’

Angelina Jolie might have been a bit disappointed with her first Tomb Raider film. Adapted from the video game of the same name, Raider tested if Jolie could lead her own action movie. Despite it being a somewhat financial success, Jolie felt there was more that could have been done with the film.Jolie wasn’t completely on board with the film when it was first presented to her. In an interview with Collider, the Marvel star opened up about her hesitation in accepting the role.“I said, ‘I really didn’t feel like that character suited me.’ I actually didn’t at first want to do it; I said no,” Jolie recalled.But she was eventually sold on the film for several reasons.“But they said you can travel the world and train with the British Military and so I had three months of seeing what I could do. And I would encourage anybody to do that,” she continued. “Sign up for as much as you can, give yourself a few months, push yourself to the limit and see, ‘What can I do?’ And you find that there’s a lot you didn’t know and some crazy, weird things you can do or you’re capable of, so I love it.” Angelina Jolie felt her character wasn’t ‘sexy enough’ in ‘Tomb Raider’ Angelina Jolie felt there were many reasons why the first Tomb Raider didn’t meet its full potential. In an interview with Black Film, the Girl, Interrupted actor opened up about what she felt the film missed the mark on.“I wasn’t satisfied with it. Through the making of that film, we were all still trying [to] figure out how things worked, and we were trying to make the video game into a person, but still it was the video game and still she was a video vixen and she wasn’t quite a solid woman with emotions and feelings,” she said.Jolie also factored in the character’s sexual appeal when discussing the film’s downfalls. While making the sequel, Jolie and the crew would try to correct the mistakes made in the first Tomb Raider. “Even the way she looked wasn’t to me sexy and real enough. So there were a lot of things, and we couldn’t adjust to everything right. We thought a lot about how to make the second film right,” she continued.Despite her disappointment in Tomb Raider, the film helped Jolie grow in several ways during filming. It alleviated concerns Jolie had about her own limitations and helped her discover what she was capable of as a performer.“One night, I was sitting in my bathtub with all my bruises and cuts. I was crying and thinking, ‘What am I doing? I can’t pull this off, ” Jolie told Cinema. “But after a few months of pushing yourself, you’re suddenly swinging on a bunji rope and realizing, ‘Wow, I’m not hitting the wall.’”At the same time, Jolie felt shooting Tomb Raider was a good opportunity to reconnect with family. She reached out to her father, actor Jon Voight, and asked him to be a part of the action flick.“I called him and got Jon’s answering machine. I said, ‘It’s Angie and this is not a bad call. No more tattoos and I’m not pregnant. I just want you to be in a movie with me,’” she remembered.For Jolie, Tomb Raider allowed for some father-daughter bonding between the two that she felt was necessary.“My parents divorced when I was little and my Dad was never really absent in my life, but we didn’t spend all the time we could together. My Dad was very supportive, but there were still questions that I wanted to ask him. So this movie was great because it gave us quiet time to spend together,” Jolie added.

Angelina Jolie noted the staggering number of Ukrainians who have been forced to flee their homes and country due to the ongoing Russian invasion on Thursday.In an Instagram post, the 46-year-old actress and activist compared the plight of Ukrainian refugees escaping to safety with the struggles of other refugee groups across the globe.She wrote to her 12.4 million followers that — regardless of their nationality or race — 'All refugees and displaced people deserve equal treatment and rights.' Jolie's post included striking photos of what appeared to be refugees from various countries, including a photo of a somber Ukrainian girl looking through the window of a bus. 'One million refugees have now fled Ukraine,' she began her caption. 'Before a single Ukrainian refugee crossed the border, there were already more than 82 million people forced from their homes globally — the highest number on record,' she continued.'They include over 6 million Syrians — the world’s largest population of refugees — who’ve been displaced for over a decade already.'And over 1 million Rohingyas from Myanmar — who as well as being forcibly displaced, are also stateless,' she wrote.'And nearly 48 million people who have been forced from their homes by conflict and violence, who are living internally displaced within their own countries — in Yemen, in Somalia, in Afghanistan, in Ethiopia, and in so many other places.'Although she didn't state it explicitly, the Oscar winner alluded to complaints that refugees from other global conflicts hadn't received the same degree of compassion and support that recent Ukrainian refugees have received.'All refugees and displaced people deserve equal treatment and rights,' she concluded.Jolie add the hashtag, '#RefugeesWelcome,' along with countries from where refugees had fled, including Ukraine, Syria, Venezuela, Afghanistan and South Sudan.She also mentioned the Rohingya, a stateless group of Muslims living within Myanmar who were the victims of a genocide in recent years.Late last month, Jolie — who was appointed the Special Envoy to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in 2012 — shared on Instagram that, 'Like many of you, I'm praying for the people in Ukraine.'She also shared a statement from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, which is working in conjunction the United Nations, Ukraine and other countries in Europe to provide humanitarian support amid the ongoing Russian attack.'We are gravely concerned about the fast-deteriorating situation and ongoing military action in Ukraine,' read the message.'The humanitarian consequences on civilian populations will be devastating. There are no winners in war, but countless lives will be torn apart.'We have already seen reports of casualties and people starting to flee their homes to seek safety. Civilian lives and civilian infrastructure must be protected and safeguarded at all times, in line with International Humanitarian Law.'Accordingly, we have stepped up our operations and capacity in Ukraine and neighboring countries,' the statement added.'We remain firmly committed to support all affected populations in Ukraine and countries in the region.'Speaking out: The star was visibly emotional while speaking during a press conference at which she shamed Congress' 'silence' on the the act, which expired almost a decade before; seen February 9 in Washington, D.C. Last month, Jolie turned her activism toward speaking out in favor of reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act after it was previously held up by Republicans in congress.
The star was visibly emotional while speaking during a press conference at which she shamed Congress' 'silence' on the the act, which expired almost a decade before.'Most of all, I want to acknowledge — most of all, I want to acknowledge the children who are terrified and suffering at this moment,' she said. 'And the many people for whom this legislation comes too late.''The women who have suffered through this system with little or no support, they still carry the pain and trauma of their abuse,' Jolie continued. 'The young adults who have survived abuse and emerged stronger not because of the child protective system, but despite it.'And the women and children who have died, who could have been saved,' she said.On Thursday, amid an escalation in attacks from Russian forces invading Ukraine, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba warned on Twitter that there were 'worrying reports' of a potential operation to suggest Ukraine has attacked a Russian village.'Russians might have pointed multiple rocket-launching systems in the Russian border village of Popovka towards their own territory. Knowing the barbaric nature of Russian actions we fear a false flag operation,' Kuleba said. His statement was not immediately confirmed by other government officials but follows days of Russian troop movements to encircle key Ukrainian cities after Moscow's men failed to swiftly take major urban centers and to subdue Kyiv's military.Kulegba's statement is the latest in a string of accusations levied at Russia's President Vladimir Putin after Kremlin forces were accused multiple times of launching so-called false flag attacks before the invasion of Ukraine last week.
