Lifelong Tomb Raider fan Phoebe Waller-Bridge has opened up about adapting Lara Croft for her upcoming Prime Video series.
Back in April — before the ongoing Writers Guild of America strike — Waller-Bridge sat down with Joy Press of. During the newly-published interview, Waller-Bridge discussed developing the upcoming Tomb Raider series, as well as her teenage addiction to the original video games. “My parents were very smart because they didn’t actually limit me. They could sense that I was going to just game myself into the ground, and I did,” Waller-Bridge said.
Notably, as a writer, Waller-Bridge is no stranger to referencing breasts in her works. However, there was apparently a heated debate in the Tomb Raider writers’ room regarding whether Lara should have her classic busty figure, or an athletic build in line with the more modern games. Waller-Bridge’s stance on the matter is clear. “She’s a tomb raider, so she’s incredibly fit,” she said. “She has to squeeze through tiny rock crevices all the time.
The franchise was first adapted into live-action via the 2001 Paramount film Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, which was based on the early games and starred Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft. Jolie reprised her role for the 2003 sequel, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider – The Cradle of Life. MGM and Warner Bros. rebooted the live-action series with the 2018 film Tomb Raider. Starring Alicia Vikander as Lara Croft, the 2018 film was primarily based on the 2013 reboot game.
In January 2023, news broke that Amazon — the new publisher of the Tomb Raider video games — had tapped Waller-Bridge to pen a live-action series adaptation for Prime Video. Amazon is also reportedly developing a new Tomb Raider film, which will tie into both the Prime Video series and the next Tomb Raider game as part of a shared universe.
