Action-Adventure Live-Action Tomb Raider TV Series | Amazon

She's mid to bad in everything I've seen her in and a terrible miscast for Lara Croft. Nothing much apart from that.

 

[Mani-Man]

Like, she is just not that strong of an Actress.
Thats pretty much it.

 

[Lily Adler]

Geez. What did Sophie Turner do to you guys?

She and Emilia Clarke guarantee mediocrity.

 

[TheVileOne]

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

Meh, Alicia Vikander is a good actress but her movie wasn't that great. So many script issues.

So was Vikander for that matter.

So was Vikander for that matter.

Eh I disagree. I thought her movie was quite decent actually, but more importantly that she was near perfect fit for the role.

Fair enough but the movie wasn't a huge hit and all that well received either.

 

[Lily Adler]

I know the movie was meh and they went with the other Star Wars leading lady, but what could have been.

I know, but I'm bumped because a sequel was officially greenlit and didn't happen because of covid, then they changed the director and was completely cancelled because Amazon bought MGM and wanted to have this instead.

I'd definitely be down for that. I love Daisy!

It was never officially green lit.

Ben Wheatley Set To Direct Alicia Vikander In ‘Tomb Raider’ Sequel; MGM Sets Release Date

It was. It had a script, a director, a release date and it was ready to shoot just around the time covid hit. Then they changed the director and writer and started to reshape it. Vikander said that version wasn't greenlit because it was around the time MGM was sold to Amazon and it stopped being a sure thing after they didn't follow through the first version.

Deadline got it wrong. They have before:

Deadline Now: Chris Evans, Captain America And The Road Back To The MCU

As the pandemic wore on ideas were floated, Evans warmed to the concept and the actor and Marvel made an agreement.

Lol had what wrong? The shooting date? Maybe, maybe not, whatever. The movie had a date set from the studio and the director and writer news was reported by numerous other sites as well. I don't know what we're debating here. It was in the stage of pre-production, I read various reports indicating that back then. They really did plan to make another despite the lackluster North America gross, because they saw promise in the international numbers that were pretty good.

I never saw an announcement from the studio regarding Tomb Raider.

They went for an algorithm name over talent. Then again it’s Waller-Bridge who I don’t particularly care for anyway.

 

[Filmfreak]

Waller Bridge being involved is the only thing that may make me end up watching this. Depends on whether she's writing this or just exec producing it.

 

[OrbOfConfusion]

Guess I'll be in the minority and say that I don't mind Turner as an actress. I'm not big in the Tomb Raider franchise, but curious to see how she'll do.

Waller-Bridge is supposed to be doing both writing and executive producing, and Amazon MGM Studios signed a huge deal for the Tomb Raider rights. They want to do both a series and a theatrical movie, potentially a shared universe across games, shows, and movies.

Meanwhile the main co-writer of the Vikander Tomb Raider movie is a showrunner of the Fallout series and wrote some episodes. Goggins also appears in both.

These casting choices and considerations completely baffle me. Not gonna lie.

 

[Deck Rickard]

Never saw the Vikander movie, so I can’t comment on that. Though Fallout is great.

Anyway, I don’t mind Sophie Turner. I liked her on GoT and she was good in The Staircase, though it was a small role. I have to say that Emma Mackey would get me more excited for this series though. I think she has more of an edge to her that I think Lara really needs.

 

[Scarlet Spider]

I can't see it.

It feels like X-Men where Sophie was cast over better actors because of her GOT clout.

I want this to be good. We'll see.

 

[Dark Raven]

Meanwhile, why hasn't Sophie Turner been cast as Boy George? That would've been a role which really suited her and even Boy George and Sophie Turner were both up for that.
