British actress Minnie Driver has been tapped to voice Lara Croft in an upcoming animated series of Tomb Raider to be broadcast on GameTap, Turner Broadcasting's broadband entertainment network, reports Reuters.

"Re\Visioned" will run in ten instalments with a new one debuting on GameTap every week through August 23. The series will focus on artists reinterpreting the Tomb Raider heroine, who was played by Angelina Jolie in two films and will now be personified by Driver.

"Lara Croft is an icon, so we brought in some of the most iconic creative talent of today," said Ricardo Sanchez, GameTap's vice president of content. "These writers and artists have created or worked with some of the best known characters from comics and animation and we've been honored to work with them to make the first season of our 'Re\Visioned' series a reality."
