**REMEMBERING THE TOMB RAIDER MOVIES**
The series “Tomb Raider” has had its fair share of live-action adaptations. In the early 2000s, Angelina Jolie portrayed the iconic character Lara Croft in “Lara Croft: Tomb Raider” and its sequel, “The Cradle of Life”. While these movies were successful financially, they weren’t always well-received critically. However, looking back now, they are seen more positively compared to other video game adaptations from that era like “Doom”, “Silent Hill”, and “Max Payne”.
**A NEW ERA FOR TOMB RAIDER**
In 2018, a reboot of the “Tomb Raider” movie franchise was launched, following the success of the game series reboot. This time, Alicia Vikander, known for her role in “Ex Machina”, took on the role of Lara Croft. The fresh take on the character and story brought a new perspective to the beloved series.
**AMAZON’S SUCCESS WITH VIDEO GAME ADAPTATIONS**
Amazon has proven its ability to create successful video game adaptations with shows like “The Boys”, “Gen V”, and “Invincible”. With over 65 million viewers for the “Fallout” series, it’s clear that there is a demand for well-made adaptations. The announcement of a “Tomb Raider” series on Amazon has generated excitement among fans, especially with Phoebe Waller-Bridge, known for her work on “Fleabag” and “Killing Eve”, being involved in the project.
**PHOEBE WALLER-BRIDGE’S CONNECTION TO TOMB RAIDER**
Phoebe Waller-Bridge has expressed her admiration for the “Tomb Raider” series, stating that Lara Croft holds a special place in her heart. Her involvement in the series brings a fresh perspective and excitement for fans of the original trilogy. With her experience in portraying strong and complex characters, Waller-Bridge’s take on Lara Croft is eagerly anticipated.
**LOOKING AHEAD TO THE TOMB RAIDER SERIES**
As a fan of the original trilogy, I am excited to see how the “Tomb Raider” series unfolds on Amazon. With a talented team behind the project and a dedicated fanbase, the future looks promising for Lara Croft and her adventures. Stay tuned for more updates on this highly-anticipated series!
