[Andrew NDB]

It's unclear if Phoebe will be starring in it.

Moving forward. Starts filming in January. Sophie Turner is still Lara Croft. :(

It's gonna fail.

I watched the Tomb Raider reboot movie & anime (https://miscrave.com/articles/tomb-raider-survivor/), Alicia Vikander was a good Survivor Lara, not that I consider Survivor Lara to be Lara Croft but if we don't take that into account the movie was ok. Same with the cartoon, the things that would take me out of the story were that they kept calling her Lara Croft when she wasn't, or when they had her cosplay as Classic Lara.

But I'm guessing this new movie will be based off the new Amazon Reboot game right? Which also seems to be this weird hybrid of Survivor and Classic Lara like the animated show tried to be though it still felt mostly based off Survivor. Anywho, it's not like the Angelina Jolie movies felt like Tomb Raider either. This will only be the third bad adaptation (of classic Lara at least).

The odds are stacked very, very high in that direction for a variety of reasons.

I'd expect a level of brand synergy like that, yeah. Leaning toward Survivor Lara, probably, with only a visual aesthetic from Classic.

The possibly good feeling is that apparently their whole writer's room combusted in on itself and everyone either self-terminated or got fired. And this is the same time when the rumormill about the new Amazon game was that it would be about Lara not raiding tombs or taking artifacts but helping natives recover their artifacts... and also going off into the sunset with a lesbian girlfriend so that a young Indian woman could take over her role. So if the show was mirroring the game or vice versa... it's good that the writer's room of the show collapsed. Maybe. But at the end of the day it's still a writer's room run by Phoebe Waller-Bridge.

Better than I thought. But I have doubts about the "voice" or attitude.
