The Girl with the Dragon Tattoostar said,
“On something like Tomb Raider, you’re beholden to the fact that you’re—they didn’t have a script. So that’s as simple as that. You can’t start a film without a script.”
According toFemale First,Daniel Craigtalked about his unpleasant experience with the film,
“Tomb Raider slowed things down for me. It was the worst mistake I’ve made. But it was also a good lesson. The script on that was all over the f****** place, waffling on about eight-foot f****** green monkeys or some such b**locks and I could just never get my head around what was supposed to be going on. Angie had it worse, she was in every scene and had to take all the s*** afterwards.”
Altogether, theKnives Outactor regretted being part of the film,
“But personally I should never have said yes. I felt like a bit of a spare p**** at a wedding throughout. I probably looked like one too.”
