As alerted a couple of weeks ago, Alicia is currently featured in Hunger Magazine to promote Tomb Raider! The magazine has now shared their full story on Alicia, as well as released three additional photos from her photoshoot. I love everything about this shoot, and these new additions might just be my favorite ones yet! I’ve added the new photos to our gallery, and you can read the article below.

Hunger – Alicia Vikander has a mantra. “When things are hard,” she begins, slowly, “I say, ‘Yeah, but it’s not tougher than ballet school.’” Alicia enrolled at the Royal Swedish Ballet School at nine, and danced with companies until she was 19, which amounts to a childhood spent in permanent discipline. “One thing you learn in a school like that, if it doesn’t break you, is that no one does [the work] for you.”

It’s a rather worldly lesson to have internalised as a child, but as preliminary training for Hollywood, you’d hazard the lesson was invaluable. Today, the 29-year-old Oscar winner still has the physical mannerisms of a dancer: she sits, back straight on her chair, legs crossed, occasionally grasping her feet and rocking from side to side. Her first English-speaking role was only “six or seven years ago”, and she speaks slowly and carefully, though it doesn’t seem like the uncertainty of the non-native speaker, but instead a deep-rooted thoughtfulness.

For there is plenty for Alicia to reflect on. Next week, her latest film, Tomb Raider, will be released; she, of course, plays the video game riot grrrl Lara Croft in the new adaptation, directed by Norwegian director Roar Uthaug, and co-starring Dominic West and Kristin Scott Thomas. It is one of the last projects Alicia had committed to before she won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in 2016, for her role as Gerda Wegerer in The Danish Girl, which means that she is now, for the first time in two years, picking new projects, working out who she wants to be next. She recently took four months off – the first break in five and a half years when she didn’t have something else in preparation – and travelled to Japan: “Number one on my list until I went – and I want to go back and see more.” She is reading, greedily. “I don’t want to say what,” she says, coy, granting only that she enjoyed Yuval Noah Harari’s Sapiens and Homo Deus. She is tentatively interested in producing. “I love filmmaking, so as an actor it’s been wonderful, but you come in at a later stage in the process. But to be there and develop an idea and move forward – that’s what I put a lot of time into thinking about right now.” Read More

EW — A bad-ass heroine needs an equally bad-ass soundtrack — and K.Flay is not about to leave Lara Croft hanging. The alt-rock/hip-hop singer, who was the only woman nominated in the rock categories at the 2018 Grammys, is giving the iconic Tomb Raider character a new theme song with “Run for Your Life,” whose high-energy music video is premiering on EW today.

“It’s so exciting, especially because the film centers on such a strong female character,” K.Flay tells EW about becoming a part of the film, which hits theaters March 16 and stars Alicia Vikander in the role once played by Angelina Jolie. “I really connected with that sense of independence in the movie. The song is about doing everything in your power to survive when the odds are stacked against you, when people doubt you, when you’ve been left behind. Instead of cowering, you rise up.”

And while the “Blood in the Cut” singer isn’t jumping through ruins the way Vikander does in the film’s trailer, shooting the “Run for Your Life” clip — which features footage from the movie — required her to break a sweat, too.

“For me, the video was all about capturing the energy and emotion of the song,” says K.Flay, who also kicks off the second leg of her U.S. tour today. “One of the reasons I like video shoots is that you get to reimagine the song in a physical, corporeal way.”

Hello again Alicia fans! Just dropping by with yet another video master-post, the 5th from the current Tomb Raider promotion tour.

Hello Alicia fans! Last night (March 10), Alicia attended the “Tomb Raider” Premiere at the Cinépolis Oasis Coyoacán in Mexico City. She looked absolutely breathtaking in a Louis Vuitton by Nicolas Ghesquiere custom gown. Over 20 images have been added to our gallery.

As we alerted you a while back, Alicia is the cover girl for Hunger Magazine‘s 14th issue! It’s out today (March 8), and we finally have more photos from her gorgeous photoshoot. This is definitely one of my new favorites! She looks incredible. We’ll hopefully have digital scans of the issue up in our gallery soon, but make sure to also purchase your very own copy over here.

With an Academy Award under her belt, and perhaps the biggest movie of her career so far being released next week, Alicia Vikander has the world at her feet. Her turn as Tomb Raider‘s Lara Croft, the most badass female protagonist in recent cinema, is one if this year’s most hyped performances, and there really was no better choice of cover star to front our Power Play issue of Hunger.

Shot by Rankin and styled in Louis Vuitton SS18 by Hunger’s fashion director Kim Howells, Alicia appears in a 16-page editorial and talks candidly about being an actress in Hollywood’s changing landscape, how she prepared for Tomb Raider and why sisterhood is the only way forward.

Following the gala premiere of “Tomb Raider” in Stockholm last night, Alicia and Roar attended a special photocall to promote the film today! Our gallery has been updated with several high quality photos from the event. Alicia also did a tiny portrait session with Jesper Frisk for the Swedish website Dagens Nyheter, which have been added as well. She looks so beautiful…

Hello Alicia fans! Following her tours in Los Angeles, Spain, Germany and England, Alicia is now back in her home country doing press work for “Tomb Raider”. Last night (March 7), she and Roar Uthaug attended a special gala premiere of the film at the Rigoletto. She looked amazing! Unlike at the London premiere, there were unfortunately few photographers at the event. I have however been able to get a hold of a couple of MQ pictures, which you can now find in our gallery!
