Eidos Plays With 'Live' "Lara Croft"

SOUND MIND

20-year old London UK model/actress Karima Adebibe is Eidos Games 'live' action hero "Lara Croft".

Chosen from among thousands of hopefuls, Karima prepared for her role as 'Lady Croft' with a gruelling training programme, including survival, combat and semi automatic weapons courses, as well as classes in archaeology, deportment, elocution and etiquette.

Karima's Lara Croft has been involved in international modelling assignments, TV commercials and chat shows, with bookings well into 2008.

"This is an incredible opportunity for me and one which I plan to grasp with both hands" said Karima.

"It's a huge challenge to follow in the footsteps of people like Nell McAndrew and Angelina Jolie..."

"Karima has all the assets needed to accurately portray the world's favourite female action hero", said Matt Gorman, Brand Controller for the "Tomb Raider" games.

Celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, "Tomb Raider" is one of the best selling videogames of all time, spun off into action figures, comic books, adventure novels and two major motion pictures.
