In addition to the Tomb Raider show announced yesterday, Prime Video is also developing a Lara Croft movie in the hopes of building a connected universe.
A new Tomb Raider film is in development at Amazon along with the new television series reboot they announced yesterday. The iconic Tomb Raider video game franchise, which follows the exploits of intrepid archeologist and explorer Lara Croft, began in 1996 and has expanded to over a dozen titles.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Per THR, Amazon is developing a new Tomb Raider reboot film that will tie into their previously announced Tomb Raider series from writer Phoebe Waller-Bridge of Fleabag, who will be playing a Lara Croft-syle character herself in the upcoming film Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. These connected projects are part of a new overall deal with dj2 Entertainment, the company founded by Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic the Hedgehog 2 producer Dmitri M. Johnson.
However, while many companies desire their own expanded universes like the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the DC Universe, they don't always work out, as Universal learned with their aborted Dark Universe. Although the Tomb Raider franchise has its fair share of spinoffs on the video game side, the series is primarily based around Lara Croft rather than a deep bench of other iconic characters.
Is the Third Time the Charm for the Tomb Raider Franchise? Amazon certainly seems confident in its ability to usher Lara Croft into a new era with its Tomb Raider universe. Considering the way they have breathed new life into an established property with their hit Tolkien series The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, they may just have the ability to keep a live-action branch of the franchise going beyond two entries.
