Tomb Raider will come back into force in the next few years. In addition to a new game, the license announces a brand new project.
license Grave robbers talk about her again But this time it’s not about video games. With the franchise coming to PowerWash Simulator soon and a new Tomb Raider at Crystal Dynamics in the works, today we learned that Lara Croft will be returning in a live-action series… on Amazon Prime!
The Tomb Raider series written by a talented screenwriter
After the announcement of the series God of War or the restoration of the broadcast from The last of uswhich is a hit and will be eligible for its second season, Amazon continues to benefit from video game licenses.
While Netflix wanted to have their own animated series Grave robbers A few years ago, Amazon Prime Video finally got the rights to a live-action adaptation.
Nothing is currently known about the cast. We don’t yet know who will be chosen to play the beautiful Englishwoman in this brand new series Grave robbershowever, we do learn that it is an actress and screenwriter of great talent who will write the script for the series.
The lead director is none other than Phoebe Waller-Bridge, who has been praised many times by her peers. The latter was even rewarded with an Emmy Award for her series fleasack on Amazon Prime. If Waller-Bridge isn’t going to star in this new adaptation of Miss Croft’s adventures, she’ll still be doing all the scriptwriting.
The series is still in its infancy. But the Hollywood reporters tells us that the show has just entered pre-production.
Amazon’s series comes at a good time as all film projects starring Alicia Vikander have been cancelled. In fact, Amazon cleaned up when it acquired former rights holder MGM.
At the moment the information is very thin and we do not yet know where this new customization will take us. For example, the series might opt for old Lara. The confident femme fatale, who starred in two films in which she was played by Angelina Jolie, hit theaters back in the 2000s. Or, on the contrary, choose the young Lara from the reboot launched in 2013, which we could discover on our big screens in the guise of Alicia Vikander.
She might even give us her own take on Lara Croft. But we’ll have to wait for more information to know for sure.
However, the Hollywood reporters tells us that Amazon would tag the package with this new customization. A project as big as its series Lord of the Rings and as crazy as the MCU. Amazon would indeed like to make new films Grave robbers connected to the series and even tie its plots to the next Crystal Dynamics games, just that. A vast, interconnected and cross-media universe. The Tomb Raider franchise could therefore be in for a surprise in the years to come.
Hype or not?
