Seeing that the reputation of TV works adapted from video games is getting better and better, it seems that another classic IP will be adapted to the small screen.The Hollywood Reporter The quoted source indicates that Amazon is developing the TV version of “Tomb Raider”, and Phoebe Waller-Bridge, the creator of the BBC drama comedy “Sloppy Girl”, is said to be the executive producer and screenwriter, but Lara Croft, the protagonist, should have little chance It was Angelina Jolie or Alicia Vikander in the movie version.
It’s no surprise that there’s a deal like this, since Amazon is in charge of releasing the new Tomb Raider game, and Waller-Bridge has signed a three-year deal with Amazon that includes the novel adaptation “Sign Here.” Another foreign media, The Reporter, even pointed out that Amazon “actively” sought to renew the contract at the end of last year.
For Amazon, they are not stingy in investing in film and television works, such as “The Lord of the Rings: The Ring of Might“was supposed to cost $1 billion, and the audience response did reflect its investment. However, Amazon is not the only streaming platform that will adapt games. HBO’s recently launched “The Last of Us” was also well received, so it is not an easy challenge for Amazon to rely on the same trick to outperform other competitors.
