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 Zoe 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.
