Eidos Interactive has announced that British actress Keeley Hawes will voice Lara Croft in the upcoming Tomb Raider: Legend.
Keeley is probably best known for her role as Zoë Reynolds in the BBC's hit show Spooks (MI-5 in the US), and according to Matt Gorman, Brand Controller for the Tomb Raider series, she's "perfect for the voice of Lara," offering the "right balance of aristocracy and attitude to really bring to life Miss Croft in all her glory."
"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!" said Keeley.
Eidos recently announced that London model Karima Adebibe is the new face of Lara Croft, who will be promoting the new title and the Lara Croft Tomb raider franchise. Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Legend is scheduled for release on PlayStation 2, Xbox and PC on April 7, with the Xbox 360 and PSP versions to follow at a later date.
