Tomb Raider (Amazon) S: Sophie Turner Creator: Phoebe Waller-Bridge
Pretty good talent behind this. Hopefully they can do this some justice. Could be their next "Jack Ryan" with worldwide location shoots.

Edit: If a mod sees this, can you change it from Amazon TV to Amazon Prime? Thanks!

Itll be interesting is they really do try to pass the torch to her in the next Indiana Jones movie. Tomb Raider is awful similar. Its about as close to Indiana Jones as you can get without actually being Indiana Jones.
Edit: It looks like shes just going to write the script for TR and not actually star.

Sounds awesome to me. The game franchise is one of my favorites but none of the movies appealed to me. With the right casting and approach, I'd be down for another crack at it.

Its too bad the reboot movie with Alicia Vikander from a while back didnt do better. I actually kind of liked it and enjoyed her in the role. A series could be good though too.

I think the question we all want to have answered is, will this version of Lara Croft have big ass cans?

Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s adaptation of video game Tomb Raider is scaling the walls at Amazon.
The streamer has handed the project a series order.
The news was revealed by Head of Amazon & MGM Studios Jen Salke at the company’s Upfront event in New York, who called it an “epic” and “globe-trotting” series.
“If I could tell my teenage self this was happening I think she’d explode. Tomb Raider has been a huge part of my life and I feel incredibly privileged to be bringing it to television with such passionate collaborators. Lara Croft means a lot to me, as she does to many, and I can’t wait to go on this adventure. Bats ‘n all,” said Waller-Bridge.

I like Vikander but I still think it was bad casting. Now watch my complaining backfire when they pick Zendaya.

EXCLUSIVE: In what is shaping up to be one of the hottest TV casting searches this fall, Amazon MGM Studios has assembled a wishlist of accomplished young actors for the role of Lara Croft in Tomb Raider, Prime Video’s high-profile series adaptation of the video game franchise from Emmy-winning Fleabag creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge.
Sophie Turner (Game Of Thrones) and Lucy Boynton (Bohemian Rhapsody) are poised to test for the part previously played on the big screen by Angelina Jolie and Alicia Vikander, sources tell Deadline.
It is unclear who else would be doing a test for the famous role, a process that has been shrouded in secrecy. Some of the names on the wishlist alongside Turner and Boynton, including Emma Corrin and Mackenzie Davis, are not believed to be testing. A rep for Amazon MGM Studios declined comment.

^^ Why not Vikander? Has she really been doing anything else? She was all the hotness for a year or two... and then POOF, gone.

Oof! Those choices are terrible. I agree that Vikander would be better. Her movie sucked but it wasn't her fault.

Sophie Turner is a terrible choice. But nothing about this project has sounded good. Might as well go for broke. Let's see if Amazon Lara manages to be worse than Netflix Lara.

Yeah, I can't picture Sophie Turner as an action hero, though the only thing I've seen her in besides Game of Thrones is Dark Phoenix, which was terrible.

re: Tomb Raider (Amazon) S: Sophie Turner Creator: Phoebe Waller-Bridge
She was passable in GoT and was likely elevated because of the cast around her. She was hands down the worst thing about the last couple of X-men movies and that's saying a lot considering Jennifer Lawrence was phoning it in by that point.
Tomb Raider is destined to be one of those franchises that never gets it right, no matter how many attempts they make.

Why is it so hard for the people making these adaptations to figure that out?

Yeah, Sophie Turner is a terrible choice. She couldnt act her way out of a wet paper bag.
I would have liked to see someone like Daisy Ridley or Ella Purnell in the role.
