Eidos's German branch and the KMF agency handled marketing for Lara Croft. [116] According to Eidos, no focus groups or scientific studies were consulted when devising the marketing strategy for the character. [117] Eidos marketing manager David Burton oversaw marketing efforts, which attempted to portray the character as attractive and pleasant. However, interaction with the press, especially those in Europe, resulted in less clothing depicted in promotional images. [13] Concerned with diluting Croft's personality, Eidos avoided products it felt did not fit the character. [116] Ian Livingstone, Eidos's product acquisition director, commented that the company declines most merchandising proposals. He stated that Eidos primarily focused on game development and viewed such promotion outside video games as exposure for the character. [118] Following Square Enix's acquisition, Eidos's marketing duties were transferred to the Square Enix Europe subsidiary. [63] [64] As part of the second reboot, Crystal Dynamics planned to align all products, promotions, and media ventures with its new version of the character. [62] Staff.

GameStop. pp.72–73.In 1999, Eidos Interactive senior executive John Davis stated that Christmas Jones, played by the American actress Denise Richards in the James Bond series film The World Is Not Enough, had been based on Lara Croft. [96] Development for a third film was announced in 2009, with Dan Lin as the producer. Lin intended to reboot the film series with a young Croft in an origin story. [97] [98] In 2011, Olivia Wilde denied rumours that she would play the role, but still expressed interest. [99] The film, originally meant for a 2013 release, [94] was to be produced by Graham King, written by Marti Noxon [100] and produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in partnership with King's studio GK Films. Alicia Vikander was cast in 2016 to play Lara in the next film adaptation. [101] Tomb Raider, directed by Roar Uthaug, was released in 2018 and takes inspiration mostly from the rebooted series that started in 2013. [102] A sequel was in development, [103] but was cancelled in July 2022 after MGM lost the film rights to the franchise due to its expiration.

After crafting the biography, our goal was to make her as believable and relatable as possible. We wanted to make a girl that felt familiar, but still has a special quality about her. Something about the way her eyes look and the expression on her face makes you want to care for her. That was our number one goal. We wanted to have empathy for Lara, and at the same time show the inner strength that made clear she was going to become a hero". The third era, established in Tomb Raider (2013), deviates from the original plot considerably. When Lara was young she travelled with her parents on many of their archaeological expeditions which helped to shape the woman she was becoming. It was on one of these expeditions that her mother, Amelia Croft, vanished and was presumed dead and when her father Richard presumably took his own life a few years later, she was then left in the care of Conrad Roth. Even though she inherited a vast fortune, giving her the means to attend Cambridge with ease, Lara chose to study at University College London. Though this was a much tougher choice, it helped her become more grounded and level-headed than she might otherwise have been. She also ended up meeting her best friend, Samantha Nishimura, during her time at UCL. It was because of Sam's free spirit and a wild streak that Lara was able to experience much more of London than just the universities and museums that she loved so much. After travelling the world, both Lara and Sam end up on an expedition to the Dragon's Triangle off the Japanese coast in search of the lost civilization of Yamatai. It is on this expedition that Lara is stranded on a remote island full of natural, human and supernatural dangers, which enables her to develop from an untested young woman to a survivor. After experiencing the supernatural powers of the ancient world, she comes to realise her father was right about his theories and her hunger for adventure awakens. [20] Although Lara had an independent life, including much international work, she was also able to maintain an active social life and healthy relationship. a b c d e f g Blache, Fabian; Fielder, Lauren (31 October 2000).
