NFS Carbon presents Emmanuelle Vaugier
In light of my pending trip to EA Canada for this title, I thought it would only be right to ‘expose’ it the proper way.
Today EA unveiled the lead actress…
Redwood City, Calif. – July 11th, 2006 – Electronic Arts (NASDAQ: ERTS) announced today that actress Emmanuelle Vaugier will star in Need for Speed(tm) Carbon this fall. Developed by EA Black Box in Vancouver, British Columbia, Need for Speed Carbon delivers the next generation of adrenaline-filled street racing and challenges players to face the ultimate test of driving skill on treacherous canyon roads.
An emerging young Hollywood talent, Vaugier has a recurring role on the CBS hit sitcom Two and a Half Men. She has also recently starred in the films Saw 2 and 40 Days and 40 Nights, and was selected to Maxim’s annual top 100 females list in May. In Need for Speed Carbon, Emmanuelle stars as Nikki, the ex-girlfriend of the hero who has returned to town to face his mysterious past.
“Being able to work in a videogame for the first time and working with the Need For Speed Carbon team at EA has been a great experience for me. This is a game that evolves the racing genre, and I’m thrilled to be a part of it”, Vaugier said. “Playing the role of Nikki allows me to take a completely fresh approach to acting and push the boundaries of the creative process.”
David Footman, who has worked on such Hollywood blockbuster films as The Day After Tomorrow, X-Men, X-Men 3, iRobot, and Fantastic Four, was the director for the green screen video shoot with Vaugier. The full motion video shoot in Need for Speed Carbon processes live actors to look computer generated while maintaining their performances and facial expressions.

I’ve been playing the PC german version of NFS Carbon. Does anyone knows who is the hot flag girl??? You know, the one who appears at the start of ech race.
I’m not sure if the girl from the english version is the same, but I imagine they won’t bother change that.
A name? A photo? I’ve searched google and Altavista for days and I can´t find anything about that girl.

I would be very gratefull if you did. Funny, because I never paid much attention to any of the girls in NFS series. I just wanted do drive.
But this one girl really caught my eye…
