Yup, I'm downloading at 0.4kbps myself. I'll leave the PC working overnight, and all of tomorrow too -- maybe by the time I get home the download will be finished then all that will be left is for me to enjoy it!

I have downloaded it succesfully. I also dropped hangnailproductions a PM, so maybe the rest of you might have some alternative.

EDIT/

Wow, great video quality. Can't watch it before Saturday though -- my PC soundcard isn't working so I'll have to go to my brother's or something to watch it. Can't wait though. W00t!

umm.... I downloaded the movie and I see black nothing? I think the file is corrupted i just hope I dont have to download it again. took me 2 nights!

EDIT: I managed to fix it and I managed to watch it! It was awesome! I loved teh story, the element of craziness you put into Lara! this is how she should be! Simply amazing! the actors were great! It was even freaky how much teh lara voice resembles to Jonell Elliot! AMAZING job! If this story was made into the 1st Hollywood TR film, and mixed it with holywood's financial capabilities, it would have made one of teh best movies ever! and we wouldn't be having the mother joke story in t he games now too because they wouldn't have changed the bio in the 1st place!


BTW will there be a continuation to the movie?

Default many thanks

Many thanks for the comments Kami, yes theres a good few seconds of black at the beginning this is for dramatic effect.

I haven't written a sequel as such but a hollywood style budget version of Ascension which also goes on to explore Lara's jouney after her outing in Ascension (as it would be longer than an hour) (don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it that reads this) lots of bigger action and a big big ending that takes place in Mexico.
Lara's background in the army is explored we actually see her in Iraq, we see how she meets jax, again in a much bigger scene (really wanted to explore her training and why and how she is good with weapons and it ties in nicely with the fallen relationship with her and her father, with her joining the army as abit of rebellion as its the last thing he would want her to do)

The core storyline of her childhood is stretched out which involves a great flashback to an aerobic competition on a gym matt (explaining the backflips) with the school bully when she is eight. Jax designs a new vehicle for Lara called the 'Meerkat3' which is based on the latest HX concept hummer (google it) and there is also a continuation of the cave sequence after the waterfall where lara chases after Errol's plane in an Audi R8 she 'borrows' from some lads and much much more.
It's written and I'd very much like to put it forward as the next installment to the hollywood franchise but its getting them to look at it, i'm very proud of it i feel its really strong.

Anyway really glad you liked the film hopefully everyone else will. The websites getting a rejigg in September with much more behind the scenes and interviews for you guys to watch.

Well sounds really interesting! I really hope you get to film this, and I get to see it!

To be frank I think this movie covered a lot more Lara's character and her essence then any of the official TR movies. I just think this story should have been teh story to the first movie! whee were you when they were writing it!? Imagine this story with the hollywood extras and capabilities...


Again great work! thumbs up! Everyone obviously did a great job!

I don't think it matters too much about the other films already being made and this not being the first.
I think you can still go back and explore the early life of Lara Croft without interfering with the other two AJ films. much in the way Batman has and the Bond films their going back to see the origins of the characters. I think it's what audiences want now, to understand where these iconic figures have come from.
It would be a good relaunch to the franchise i think. A fresh take. give me 60 million (which is low budget for a hollywood blockbuster) and i'll turn it around for summer 09!

Steve

Umm, yes, tombraider1best. You do. How else would you view it?

At least there are more people seeding now. I should have it in a couple of hours.

There are other ways to watch movies than just downloading them... like going to the theatres or buying a DVD, or watching it on TV. In this case downloading, mostly.
