Fleabag may be done, but you don’t have to be
Lara Croft has seen her fair share of live-action adaptations, but this time she’s raiding the small screen with a Tomb Raider TV series and a film in development at Amazon. THR reported that the Emmy-winning Fleabag writer Pheobe Waller-Bridge is set to pen (and executive produce) the upcoming show, though there’s no word on who’s attached with the film. THR states that Amazon is looking to “build out a connected world of Tomb Raider, with the video game, TV series and film.” This sounds a little ambitious, considering that Crytal Dynamics’ game is already in production, so we’ll have to wait and see how the adaptations interact with the games.
Phoebe Waller-Bridge, best known as the creator of the Emmy-winning series Fleabag, is apparently helming a new Tomb Raider show.
As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, Waller-Bridge is developing a Tomb Raider show for Amazon, as part of a larger deal with the company that is seeing her produce multiple projects for the retail and streaming company. According to The Hollywood Reporter’s sources, Waller-Bridge is attached to write scripts for the series, but has no plans to star in it herself. The writer-actor is also serving as executive producer on the series alongside Ryan Andolina, the former head of comedy at Amazon, as well as Amanda Greenblatt.
There’s no more details other than that on the project, so it’s obviously pretty early days currently. This isn’t the only live action adaptation of the classic series, receiving a 2001 film starring Angelina Jolie, and a later 2018 film starring Alicia Vikander. The latter was somewhat meant to be a live action reboot following on from the success of the 2013 video game reboot.
