The series is produced by Amazon MGM Studios and is scheduled to begin production on January 19. Both Waller-Bridge and Turner expressed strong enthusiasm for the project, emphasizing passion for the character and Turner’s commitment to honoring the role’s legacy.
I'm so excited to announce the formidable Sophie Turner as our Lara alongside this phenomenal creative team. It's not very often you get to make a show of this scale with a character you grew up loving. Everyone on board is wildly passionate about Lara and are all as outrageous, brave, and hilarious as she is. Get your artifacts out... Croft is coming...
Lara Croft is such an iconic character, who means so much to so many - and I am giving everything I've got. They're massive shoes to fill, following in the steps of Angelina and Alicia with their powerhouse performances, but with Phoebe at the helm, we (and Lara) are all in very safe hands. I can't wait for you all to see what we have cooking.
