EIDOS ANNOUNCES
KEELEY HAWES VOICE
Copyright 2006 Eidos plc
[ February 23rd 2006 ]
Eidos
Interactive, one of the world's leading publishers
and developers of entertainment software, can
today confirm that the new voice of Lara
Croft is leading British actress Keeley Hawes.
Keeley,
best known for her role of three years as Zoë
Reynolds in BBC's flagship drama Spooks and recently
seen in Michael Winterbottom's feature Cock and
Bull Story, took to the part of Lady Lara Croft,
11th generation Countess, effortlessly.
"Lara
Croft is such a strong and powerful character,
but she also has an edge to her, which was great
to portray vocally. Lara is getting up to all
sorts of trouble in Legend, I am sure the fans
won't be disappointed!"
"Keeley
is perfect for the voice of Lara" said Matt Gorman,
Brand Controller for the Tomb Raider series, "she
had the right balance of aristocracy and attitude
to really bring to life Miss Croft in all her
glory."
Lara
Croft Tomb
Raider Legend is the seventh title to be released
in the Tomb
Raider series, which originally launched in
1996, and is still one of the best selling videogame
franchises of all time with over 28 million copies
sold.
Lara
Croft has transcended games in a way no other
character has, including action figures, comic
books and two major motion pictures starring Angelina
Jolie.
