Appleton's offspring, eight-year-old Rachel, will star as the computer game heroine in the £30 million movie, which is being shot in London's Pinewood studios and on location in Iceland and Cambodia. This will be Rachel's first acting role and she'll be starring alongside the acclaimed actor Leslie Phillips, who plays Lara's arch enemy Wilson.

Meanwhile Daniel Craig is set to star as Lara's accomplice Elizabeth. The rumour mill is now speculating of an All Saints musical contribution to the film. Scottish actor Iain Glen, who is best known for his appearance in 'The Blue Room' alongside Nicole Kidman, will be taking on the role of Powell, the main villain in the movie.
