She called the project an “epic” and “world-hopping” series, and added, “If I could tell my teenage self that this was happening, I think it would explode.”
Salke continued: “tomb Raider it’s been an important part of my life and I feel incredibly privileged to bring it to television with such passionate collaborators.
He continued, “Lara Croft means a lot to me, as it does to many, and I can’t wait to begin this adventure. Bats and all.
Bag of fleas creator and star Waller-Bridge is writing and producing the tomb Raider series, but at the moment no one has been chosen.
Previously, speaking about the project, Waller-Bride said: “There’s so much I can incorporate. I mean, the character of Lara Croft was inspired by Indiana Jones and James Bond.
“So there’s so much, and it felt like the perfect final step in my personal adventure through this kind of franchise world. I love the idea of, as Steven Spielberg describes it, the greatest show on Earth, like being able to do things on that scale and have such big adventures and that the comedy and the heart are matched, but on this kind of excellent, excellent quality.
“And, really, through all the adventures I learned from those [franchises], it’s really about keeping something grounded and allowing it to be bigger than itself in some way. And so I hope that everything translates perfectly, seamlessly Tomb Raider.“
Within this rebirth of tomb Raider franchise, Amazon Studios will also develop a new film and video games.
