Phoebe Waller-Bridge is hyping up her next major project. The Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny star shared an update on the live-action Tomb Raider series she is developing for Amazon Prime and she confirmed that the video game adaptation is going to be "dangerous and exciting."
Phoebe Waller-Bridge Shares Update on Tomb Raider Live-Action Series
Waller-Bridge is currently promoting the fifth Indiana Jones film but she also discussed her future projects. For instance, the Fleabag creator told Vanity Fair about her plans for the Amazon Prime series based on the Eidos Interactive games.
“There’s room to do something really quite dangerous," Waller-Bridge said. "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."
She added, "And that is a very unusual position to be in. It’s the old Trojan horse.”
There's a good reason why Phoebe Waller-Bridge is so excited about the project. She admitted that she had enjoyed playing the video games when she was younger and was getting back into it when Amazon contacted her about developing the series adaptation.
"God, it literally felt like that teenager in me saying: Do right by her, do right by Lara!” Waller-Bridge continued.
"The opportunity to have, as we were talking earlier, a female action character... Having worked on Bond and having worked as an actor on Indy, I feel like I’ve been building up to this," she added.
For now, the Tomb Raider live-action series is still in early development and the details of the project have not yet been revealed. However, we could learn more information about the show in the next few months. Stay tuned for more updates on this story.
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny premiered at the 76th Cannes Film Festival in May. It will hit theaters on June 30, 2023.
