Phoebe Waller-Bridge To Write For Amazon's 'Tomb Raider' TV Series

Sources from within have informed The Hollywood Reporter that the video game, movie, and anime franchise Tomb Raider is in the development stages for Amazon Prime and Phoebe Waller-Bridge is attached to write the scripts for the series.

Waller-Bridge will not be starring in the TV adaptation but will be the executive producer alongside Ryan Andolina, and Amanda Greenblatt. Andolina and Greenblatt launched their own production company and have a deal with Amazon. Dmitri M. Johnson will also executive produce via his dj2 company.

The Tomb Raider franchise focuses on the fictional British archaeologist Lara Croft, who travels around the world searching for lost artifacts and infiltrating dangerous tombs and ruins. Gameplay generally focuses on the exploration of environments, solving puzzles, navigating hostile environments filled with traps, and fighting enemies. Numerous video games were voiced by Camilla Luddington, Keeley Hawes, and Minnie Driver, and two movies in 2001 and 2018, starring Angelina Jolie and Alicia Vikander have been released. Hayley Atwell also brought the character to life in a Netflix anime series.
