Creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge teases her upcoming Amazon Tomb Raider TV show, which will feature a new take on video game hero Lara Croft.
Tomb Raider TV show creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge teases her upcoming take on hero Lara Croft. After getting its start as a popular video game series, Lara made the jump to live-action in 2001's Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, which stars Angelina Jolie. After a direct sequel that failed to impress at the box office, the film franchise was rebooted in 2018 with Alicia Vikander in the title role.
“The opportunity to have, as we were talking earlier, a female action character…. Having worked on Bond and having worked as an actor on Indy, I feel like I’ve been building up to this. What if I could take the reins on an action franchise, with everything I’ve learned, with a character I adore, and also just bring back some of that ’90s vibe? And it’s such a wonderful feeling to think you know what to do.
“She’s a tomb raider, so she’s incredibly fit. She has to squeeze through tiny rock crevices all the time. It is a different experience squeezing through a small rock crevice when you have larger boobs than if you have smaller boobs.”
