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.
