Sophie Turner Wants to ‘Top’ Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft in Amazon’s Upcoming ‘Tomb Raider’ Series


Sophie Turner has been tapped to play Lara Croft in 'Tomb Raider' and is putting in the hard work to prepare, a source exclusively tells Life and Style.

Amazon greenlit the Tomb Raider television series earlier this year, but the insider, who is familiar with the project on the streaming giant’s side, dishes, “This show is a little further along than has been reported in the press so far and some of the scripts that have come in are so good you could just break them out and turn them into full blown blockbuster movies on their right.” With anticipation building, the production company isn’t cutting any corners to make sure it doesn’t fall flat, as video game adaptations have been hit or miss recently. The original Lara Croft: Tomb Raider movie released in 2001 to huge acclaim, especially of star Angie’s portrayal of the titular action hero.
