Prime Video is crazy about Lara Croft and formalizes the live action series
After having mentioned the development of a Tomb Raider series last year, Amazon has officially ordered a first season of the program. This announcement with great fanfare joins the other major revelations of the day concerning in particular The Boys And The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. Prime Video is at the top of its game and intends to attract more and more viewers and subscribers with the help of cult franchises. The launch of a live action adaptation of the Tomb Raider video games is not a surprise, especially after the dazzling success of the adaptation of fallout. Following a partnership with the Crystal Dynamics studio for the development of new video game adventures, Lara Croft will also be joining the streaming platform to enjoy a real renewal in all respects.
While Amazon reiterates that the next title tomb Raider will be a solo, action-packed narrative adventure, the company still does not confirm whether the series will be linked to this game. The television program being produced in collaboration between Crystal Dynamics and Amazon MGM Studios and in parallel with video game projects, this possibility nevertheless seems very likely. While waiting to learn more about this production, new declarations from the two companies as well as the creator of the series already promise very heavy things.
An adaptation by the creator of Fleabag
In order to ensure the success of its new project, the streaming giant is once again recruiting one of its best elements. English actress, screenwriter and producer Phoebe Waller-Bridge will officially helm the series tomb Raider, as revealed in the first announcements last year. If it is no longer necessary to present the talents of the creator of Fleabagaficionados of the adventures of Lara Croft will be delighted to learn that Phoebe Waller-Bridge is also a big fan of the franchise:
“If I could have told my teenage self what was happening, I think she would have exploded. Tomb Raider has played an important role in my life and I feel incredibly privileged to adapt it for television with such passionate collaborators. Lara means a lot to me, as she does to many others, and I can't wait to go on an adventure” she said.
If this adaptation manages to take up the strong points of fallout And Fleabag, suffice to say that this new interpretation of the heroine's adventures promises to be grandiose. As a reminder, Prime Video is also considering the development of a feature film but also does not specify the possible links of this project with the others. To be continued.
