josie maran / need for speed / xbox 360
the latest installment of need for speed [nfs most wanted] for the xbox 360 will feature josie maran as ingame character, mia. josie's known for her maybeline modelling and her recent roles in film [van helsing, little black book, and the aviator], but i've been a fan since i saw her in a friend's magazine a few years back, and would gladly put her in the contest for world's most perfect face. in regard to the method by which she's placed in game, ign states:

EA is using a new process which uses high-definition footage of actors to create "synthetic-looking" in-game characters. The characters are then "seamlessly" integrated to the game's 3D environments.

sounds pretty interesting and the rendered photo of josie ingame is astonishing. so much so that when i discovered the photo below on gamespot, i remarked to a friend how much it looked like her. and _then_ i found the article on ign stating that it _is_ her. josie maran's an exceedingly beautiful woman and i may consider buying the game just for her animated avatar and added voiceovers.
