Tomb Raider TV Show Coming to Amazon From Phoebe Waller-Bridge – The Hollywood Reporter

Could be fun if they base the first season on the story of the 2013 reboot game. I think that might work really well as a show. I know they already tried that story in the last movie, but it wasn't great.

 

[Sithborg]

As long as she doesn't hand it to different show runners after the first season,sure.

‘Tomb Raider’ Film in the Works at Amazon (Exclusive) – The Hollywood Reporter

The idea is to build out a connected world of Tomb Raider, with the video game, TV series and film all interconnected in a fashion akin to what Marvel has already accomplished. The Tomb Raider video game was announced in December, with additional games in the franchise considered likely.

I’m sure the GamerGate losers are in a rage over this news. Hell yes.

 

[The Caped Knight]

Mmm it could work if done right.

 

[Silvermoth]

Phoebe Waller bridge! This is fantastic news!!!!

 

[Dark Raven]

Phoebe Waller bridge! This is fantastic news!!!!

We'll cross that one when it comes to it.

 

[Silvermoth]

Yeah people who aren’t into the news should just build a Waller bridge and get over it

[squeekness]

Could be fun.

 

[Mani-Man]

That sounds fun...and boy will the Tomb Raider fans be pissed off.

Because they already made up their minds that she would do the most "wokest" **** ever with this.
Hearing her talk about the 90s games and all...must annoy the hell out of them.

In case some of you dont know it, for some weird reason, the Tomb Raider fandom to large parts is super Conservative.
Which is even weirder considering a large part of the fandom is Gay Men and Women.
So its kind of weird seeing them cry about "woke" etc.

Anyway...im looking forward to this the more i hear her talk about it.

 

[Silvermoth]

I can’t wait to see what she does

Tomb Raider is hardly some sacred text, and most of the adaptations have been largely very bad.

Amazon purchased the movie rights as well, and they want a connected universe with the TV show. Not sure how that's going to pan out, but we'll see.

 

[TheVileOne]

I like the sound of Phoebe Waller-Bridge working on this, not so much the connected universe thing. What are they going to do, Winston: The Origin of Lara Croft's Butler?

Well, I think what they want to do is ultimately connect the series, the film, and the game. Those plans might eventually change or not come to fruition. But if I were to speculate, maybe they would do something with the Trinity organization, or track Lara's development through the series then give her a bigger adventure for the films.

Like just for example, that Guy Ritchie King Arthur movie from a few years ago, that was supposed to be the start of a multi-movie shared King Arthur Universe. Taron Egerton's Robin Hood, same thing, a shared fantasy Robin Hood Universe. Those projects started development at the height of the MCU and everyone wanted to do try and do the same thing. None of them really came to fruition, other than DCEU, and we all saw how that went.

EDIT:

I guess the Godzilla monster-verse kinda happened too. And The Conjuring...

[Mani-Man]

Crazy when you think about it.
A New game in the works, a new movie, a anime on netflix, now a tv show on Prime.

They spread out the IP quite a bit.
But that puts quite the pressure onto the game Developers.
TR 12 is meant to be the start of the new era, the new unified Lara Croft and all that.
If the game doesnt deliver, this all is on shaky grounds.

Can’t wait to check it out! Hope they keep the fun

[Primal Slayer]

No thank you.

 

[Filmfreak]

Potentially going to Sophie Turner after Alicia Vikander is a humongous step down for the character.

 

[MagnarTheGreat]

I have very little trust of Amazon on these types of projects and seeing Sophie Turner on the list for anything like this doesn’t instill confidence.

 

[Deck Rickard]

Geez. What did Sophie Turner do to you guys?
