Lara Croft will return with a small screen “Tomb Raider” series over at Amazon Prime Video, and Deadline reports that Sigourney Weaver is now in talks to join the show’s cast.
“It is unknown who Weaver would play,” Deadline notes. Stay tuned.
Sophie Turner (“Game of Thrones”) will play Lara Croft in the Prime Video series. Lara Croft has been played on the screen by both Angelina Jolie and more recently Alicia Vikander.
Phoebe Waller-Bridge (“Fleabag”) is developing and writing the upcoming series, which has been described by Amazon as being both “epic” and “globe-trotting.”
Waller-Bridge will show-run with Jonathan Van Tulleken and Chad Hodge.
“If I could tell my teenage self this was happening I think she’d explode. Tomb Raider has been a huge part of my life and I feel incredibly privileged to be bringing it to television with such passionate collaborators. Lara Croft means a lot to me, as she does to many, and I can’t wait to go on this adventure. Bats ‘n all,” Waller-Bridge said in a statement.
Waller-Bridge will executive produce alongside Ryan Andolina and Amanda Greenblatt.
