Behind the Scenes Featurette from the movie Lara Croft: Tomb Raider - The Cradle of Life (2003).
Lara Croft: Tomb Raider - The Cradle of Life is a 2003 action-adventure film directed by Jan de Bont and based on the Tomb Raider video game series. Angelina Jolie stars as the titular character Lara Croft with supporting performances from Gerard Butler, Ciarán Hinds, Chris Barrie, Noah Taylor, Til Schweiger, Djimon Hounsou and Simon Yam. An international co-production between the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany and Japan, the film is a sequel to the 2001 film Lara Croft: Tomb Raider.
Critics generally considered The Cradle of Life to be better than its predecessor, especially in terms of its action sequences and continued to commend Angelina Jolie's portrayal of Lara Croft. However, the film did not achieve the same level of box office success as the previous instalment, grossing $156 million compared to its predecessor's $275 million. Nonetheless, it was still considered a financial success. Initially, plans were made for a sequel, but these plans were abandoned when Jolie decided not to return as Lara Croft.
