    Phoebe Waller-Bridge to Write Live-Action “Tomb Raider” TV Series

    Mary Anne ButlerBy 1 Min Read

    After what feels like forever, the legend of “Tomb Raider” will continue in live-action. Following the actually-pretty-solid Alicia Vikander film from 2018 and news of an animated series featuring Haley Atwell (“Agent Carter,” “Mission: Impossible- Dead Reckoning Part One“), what’s next for iconic character?

    Turns out, a live-action series for Amazon Prime Video!

    While no casting news has been announced yet, Melissa Barrera is rumored to be one of the leading contenders to take on the mantle of Lady Lara Croft.

    Phoebe Waller-Bridge (“Fleabag,” “Solo: A Star Wars Story“) will pen the series. Early reports indicate she will not appear in the show, but, the same was said of “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny,” which she co-starred in. So. We’ll see.

    Crystal Dynamics has partnered with Prime Video for the series. We’ll let you know what we hear about this and other news.

    Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
