Minnie Driver voicing Lara News

PC PlayStation 2 PSP Xbox 360 Wii
News by Robert Purchese

3 July, 2007

Minnie Driver will voice Lara Croft in a new ten part animation celebrating a decade of the iconic heroine.

The series will debut on North American and Canadian download service GameTap on 10th July. But unfortunately Eidos was unsure whether it will appear in Europe, and we're waiting to hear back from across the pond for any clues - probably because they're all in bed.

This Tomb Raider-focused season of ReVisioned will offer a different artist's interpretation of the Tomb Raider franchise each week, ending 23rd August. GameTap will also host a documentary about the well known series and leading lady.

Eidos recently revamped the first ever Tomb Raider game with today's technology to celebrate 10, well, 11 years in the life of Lara. And what a good move it turned out to be, earning itself a big sloppy hug and a kiss from yours truly for its efforts.

Head over to our Tomb Raider: Anniversary review to find out why.

Minnie Driver is great, but I can't say I've ever seen her as a Lara Croft-type character...

Why is a British character created by a British company not appearing in Britain?

Ummm... People do realise the concept of animation don't they?

It's the voice we'll hear, we're not going to see her.... I have to say posh english accent and all Minnie Driver is a decent choice....

Minnie Driver has an annoying voice as well as a horrendous face with which she could kill small rodents and children in one hit.
I like Lara's voice is Legends as its the only way I remember her, very sexy. Who was that again?

Different style cartoon each time? Sounds sweet. A few are bound to be good. Fingers crossed for Peter Chung.
Razorus- I think it was Keely Hawes.

Keeley Hawes. And yeah, she's great.

Minnie Driver's voicework was very good in Princess Mononoke.

Although I suspect this won't have the same quality of script...

Right enough, Princess Mononoke is listed on the IMDB as 1997.

They need to remember where Lara was born. It wouldnt be fair to not release this in the UK.

She's great for this, even though Keeley Hawes would've been even better.

hmm...good choice i think. She did well in Mononoke and I liked her in Grosse Point Blank. Has quite a sexy, infectious laugh too tho i guess that wont get a look in as Laras a bit serious isnt she?
