Actress Sophie Turner, best known for her role as Sansa Stark in "Game of Thrones," has revealed that her version of Lara Croft in the upcoming live-action adaptation will not be presented as a seductress, but as a strong and capable woman whose story is at the forefront.
Turner will portray the famous heroine from the "Tomb Raider" franchise in the new live-action adaptation, and the cast also includes Sigourney Weaver, Jason Isaacs, Martin Bob Semple, Jack Bannon, John Heffernan, Bill Patterson...
Filming began earlier this year, and the first photo from the set showed Turner in a costume faithful to the look from the video game, which was met with positive reactions from fans.
In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Turner emphasized that her interpretation would not emphasize the heroine's physical appearance, but rather her inner strength and motivation.
"It's about her, her story and what drives her, not about what many people love about her - how attractive she is in games and movies. I want to show another side. She is undoubtedly capable. She is not a woman who hides her strengths," the actress explained.
