LARA
CROFT: LETHAL AND LOADED
Eidos
Interactive and Core Design announce
the Official Lara Croft Documentary:
a one-hour television programme that
examines the unique phenomenon of
Lara Croft, revealing how she was
invented, developed and launched into
mainstream contemporary culture to
become the most successful cyber character
to crossover into global marketing,
advertising and ultimately Hollywood.
For
the first time, the 'real' story of
Lara Croft is told - Lara's original
creator details her design process
and Core Design's conceptual artists
illustrate her development over the
following years, including a preview
of the 'next-generation' Lara Croft
3D Model. The team reveals the truths
behind Lara's personal history and
how it was established and further
developed following the public's thirst
for knowledge about her.
Lara
Croft's personality and physique are
put under scrutiny as Lethal and Loaded
investigates the unprecedented obsessive
behaviour and emotional reaction that
she stirs in fans from all walks of
life.
The
programme also goes behind-the-scenes
to show how the official Lara Croft
look-alike models are selected and
trained - and what they really think
of the woman whose boots they have
stepped into.
Lara's
prominence as a modern cultural icon
is examined and her mainstream media
status is illustrated via press articles,
product endorsements, celebrity appearances
and finally clips from Paramount's
Tomb Raider movie, including an interview
with its Oscar-winning star, Angelina
Jolie.
