Amazon is reportedly working on a 'Tomb Raider' TV show & film

Amazon Studios' latest venture into the video game adaptation space involves Fleabag star Phoebe Waller-Bridge and the Tomb Raider franchise. The studio is reportedly working on a television show based on the game, with Waller-Bridge serving as writer and executive producer. She isn't expected to star in it, though.

And recent rumours claim Amazon Studios is also working on a movie adaptation. However, we aren't sure if Waller-Bridge is attached to this project, too. This isn't the only video game adaptation Amazon is working on. The studio announced in December that a God of War TV show is in the works. And within the Tomb Raider universe, Amazon will publish the next game from Cyrstal Dynamics. The company hasn't responded to comments about these reports yet. We should hear more about it if and when things become official.

New ‘Tomb Raider’ film slated for 2018 release

The new Tomb Raider film starring award-winning actress Alicia Vikander already has a release date. The movie reboot is scheduled for a March 2018 release. Not much is known about the movie except she’ll be playing a similarly younger Lara Croft like in the two recent games Tomb Raider (2013) and Rise of the Tomb Raider (2015). The untitled new films is directed by Roar Uthuag, who has done The Wave and Escape.

Alicia Vikander is the new Lara Croft

Whether it’s necessary or not, Tomb Raider is getting a reboot and Ex Machina star Alicia Vikander lands the role. She’ll be playing a “young and untested Lara Croft fighting to survive her first adventure” and inheriting the role from Angelina Jolie, who made the character famous. A lot of other names were rumoured to be getting the role, including Daisy Ridley, Emilia Clarke, Cara Delevigne, and Saoirse Ronan. But the role goes to Vikander, who was recently in The Danish Girl (where she won for best supporting actress) and who’ll be starring in Jason Bourne with Matt Damon. The film will be directed by The Wave’s Roar Uthaug and MGM and Warner Bros are co-producing the reboot.
