Amazon Announces Tomb Raider Film In the Works - Gizmodo

Yesterday, the news broke that Phoebe Waller-Bridge was creating a TV adaptation for Crystal Dynamics’ long-running Tomb Runner franchise for Prime Video.

On its own, that information wouldn’t be terribly surprising; Amazon’s making a habit of adapting things, and we’re in a period where any and every game seems up to become a TV or movie.

The movie will connect to Waller-Bridge’s TV show, and both of those will be linked to the upcoming Tomb Raider game from Crystal Dynamics that Amazon plans to publish for PC and consoles.

Sources speaking to THR commented that Tomb Raider is one of Amazon’s biggest commitments at the moment, which is saying something, since the tech giant spent hundreds of millions on the TV rights for Lord of the Rings.

The one piece of Lara Croft-related media that don’t seem to factor much into Amazon’s plans is the Tomb Raider anime over at Netflix, which was announced back in 2021 and (last we checked) will star Haley Atwell as the treasure hunter.

I guess we’ll find out whenever Amazon releases more information about either the show or film—or when Crystal Dynamics offers up some kind of tease for what awaits Lara Croft’s return.
