So we are getting an anime from Netflix and a live action TV series from Amazon? Interesting.

Hopefully Lara will be a posh British "anti-hero".

Well Phoebe is an excellent writing and isn't she playing a very similar character in the new Indiana Jones film?
I'd of preferred a film but we sort of knew it would go this route, atleast she is talented. Hopefully they cast Hayley Atwell or Alicia Vikander. Phoebe does not give me any Lara vibes, she's a good writer though and a great actress. I think given her similar role in Indy 5 she will not star in this and leave it to another actress to appear as Lara. Best case scenario she brings back Kristin Scott Thomas (she worked with to acclaim) and Alicia Vikander, and continue the story. Last edited by Tonyrobinson; 27-01-23 at 20:54. |

Phoebe Waller-Bridge penning a Tomb Raider TV show?
YES, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, YES!!!! I don't if she would be the best actor to portray Lara (I wouldn't be surprised if this is more like Killing Eve, where she penned the first season but did not star in it), but I absolutely love the idea of her writing a Tomb Raider anything! Would also prefer a movie, but as long as she and Amazon take the right lessons from HBO's The Last Of Us, I would be fairly pleased with a live action show. And I do hope they at least offer the role to Alicia Vikander. She deserves another shot. I knew Amazon publishing the game was the beginning. I wonder if this show will be part of the unified timeline or its own thing. And I wonder if Amazon would pick up the animated series when Netflix inevitably cancels it after the seasons it already commissioned... |

Cool I've been meaning to watch Fleabag, I heard it's good.
I don't know what Phoebe's acting chops are like but kind of hope they don't go with either Alicia or Hayley |

The only question for her as Lara is if she is also able to portray the physicality of the role as well. But her role in Indy 5 might shed some light in that regard. |

Amazon is totally in on TOMB RAIDER so you'll get a show that compliments the new game. |
