According to Reuters and The Hollywood Reporter, actress Minnie Driver has been selected to reprise an earlier version of game heroine (in tight outfits of course) LARA CROFT. She will be the "voice" of Lara Croft in these adventures that is set to be animation based. These earlier adventures will be aired on the internet site GameTap in association with Turner Broadcasting. RE/VISIONED is what it's going to be called and will run in ten installments with a new one debuting on GameTap every week through August 23. The series will focus on artists reinterpreting the Tomb Raider heroine, who was played by Angeline Jolie  in two films and will now be personified by Driver.

WHAT!? A 37 year old woman is playing Croft? Why couldn't they find someone younger to play the part? Jolie was 26 and 28 when she took on Croft. Whatever, here's hoping whatever they revision works well enough to be put into a new Tomb Raider game. The last Tomb was a step in the right direction plus remaking the original was also sweet.

You have to be kidding me! Minnie Driver in no way shape or form matches Lara Croft no matter how much CGI you use to make her attractive...This just shows the so called new direction they are going with is new and not Tome Raider...

I'm editing this article right now..because I should point out that Minnie Driver is VOICE ACTING Lara Croft. I assume it's an animation production you two. :) Jarrod

Minnie Driver is so ugly and manly. I think the name "Minnie Driver" refers to the size of "her" penis. I'd like to see Boston Legal's Rhona Mitra star in Tomb Raider 3. She's already played the role at prmotional events.

Sorry..I did not even read all the way through the article because I saw the name Minnie Driver and just assumed that she was going to do the live action version of her...My bad,lol... As far as her voicing Lara, I can see it or hear it...She does have a sexy voice, it's to bad she does not have the looks to match it...

I watched Disney's Tarzan last night with my kids. Her voice is very distinctive, but I can't picture it from Croft.

NO NO NO! I agree with narpin, go with Rhona Mitra from Boston Legal, or go with an unknown actress to do the third installment of Tomb Raider, (or even pay Angelina Jolie a higher salary for the third movie, I'm sure Brad won't mind)...Yeah, I can see Minnie Driver providing the voice of Lara Croft in future Tomb Raider projects (meaning CGI for the video games, or cartoons). In respects, at one point, I thought Minnie Driver was cute in GOOD WILL HUNTING...Of course, that was my opinion of her, TEN YEARS AGO.

Help me out here... Laura Croft was brittish right? Isn't Minnie Driver Irish? I'd hate to see them go through all the work only to ruin it with bad voice casting.

Grimwolf has a point. If only there was some way Minnie Driver could disguise her accent. Does anyone know if she might be an actress? If she were an actress, it might be possible for her to "act" with a different accent. Someone should be looking into this.

I always imagine Lara Croft with a base Manchester cockney accent. Not that snooty London accent that irritates me.
