London, Aug 19: Academy Award winner Angelina Jolie will high-kick her way down the red carpet in London on Tuesday for the British premier of "Lara Croft And The Cradle Of Life: Tomb Raider 2." Jolie will accompany the film's director Jan De Bont and other cast members for the premier in Leicester Square, said a spokeswoman for the actress.
Shot on location from Wales to Greece, from Kenya to Hong Kong, the film tells the tale of a treasure hunt that turns into a mission to save the world from a Nobel scientist gone very bad.
Jolie plays a cultured, yet spectacularly athletic and attractive British adventurer.
"She's very sexual and she's very sensual, but she doesn't use it to win," the 2000 Oscar winner as best supporting actress for "Girl, Interrupted" told Reuters in a recent interview.

Croft also has supreme martial arts skills, uncanny marksmanship, scores of electronic gadgets, boundless courage and a weapons arsenal that would make small countries envious.

The action scenes and scope of the film outstrip the first 2001 "Tomb Raider" movie, which grossed more than $300 million worldwide.
It goes on general release in Britain on Friday.
