Tomb raider sequel to be filmed in North Wales
The sequel to the hit movie Lara Croft: Tomb Raider will be filmed amid the rugged hills of north Wales, it was announced today.
Tomb Raider 2 will see Hollywood beauty Angelina Jolie play cyberbabe Lara Croft as she battles a crime syndicate in China.
Filming has already begun in Greece but some of the scenes will be shot around Snowdonia and other beauty spots in north Wales.
Computer graphics will be used to doctor the images and make Caernarfonshire look more like China.
A spokesman for the Wales Screen Commission’s north Wales office said: “I can confirm that scenes from the Tomb Raider sequel will be filmed here in the near future.
“The film company is looking at about half a dozen locations in north-west Wales.
“We are delighted they have chosen to film here and we will be working closely with them to ensure everything goes smoothly.”
The spokesman was unable to confirm whether the filming would require Angelina Jolie to travel to north Wales.
