Amazon Studios is producing a new Tomb Raider TV series (and publishing the next Tomb Raider game as well), tapping Fleabag creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge to write the show. In a new interview, Waller-Bridge said she is hoping to achieve something “dangerous and exciting.”
“What if I could take the reins on an action franchise, with everything I’ve learned, with a character I adore, and also just bring back some of that ’90s vibe?” she told Vanity Fair (via Collider). “I feel like when you’re working in the industry, you’ve got to ride the waves and lean in.”
“There’s room to do something really quite dangerous, and if I can do something dangerous and exciting with Tomb Raider. I already have an audience of people who love Lara and hopefully will continue to. And that is a very unusual position to be in. It’s the old Trojan horse.”
