‘Tomb Raider’ TV Show Reportedly Scrapped at Prime Video After Repeated Delays

https://popculture.com/streaming/ne...crapped-at-prime-video-after-repeated-delays/

"According to Daily Mail, Waller-Bridge has long been working on the scripts and were deemed "not ready to shoot." Sources claim the series is more or less "dead," or at the very least, it won't be filming "in early 2025," despite a Prime Video executive saying otherwise last year. It didn't help when Jennifer Salke, who had a hand in ordering the show and personally overseeing it, departed from her role as Amazon Studios head last week.


Per a recent report from Puck, "Still, my favorite Salke move was giving Phoebe Waller-Bridge, the breakout creator of Fleabag, a $20 million-a-year overall deal in 2019. Sure, the TV business is littered with failed overalls, but when Waller-Bridge generated nothing in three years, Salke renewed the deal. Now, three years after that renewal, she still has nothing to show for it. Tomb Raider, which Waller-Bridge has been working on and which Salke was personally overseeing after announcing a series pickup last May, has now gone through two writers rooms and tens of millions of dollars in development costs. There's still no script."

They spent millions developing this show for years and still don't have a script. With Salke's firing at Amazon Prime this project is more or less dead.

Was a total garbage.

You collect a bunch of shit progressive stuff and called 'Tomb Raider' for PR reasons.
 
Was it the new game or this show were they wanted to go the gay route
 
Waller-Bridge was on retainer with them, some absurd figure like £5,000,000 a year, and she's had for years at this point and made literally nothing with them. Its no wonder the scripts aren't filmable, she was just taking them for a ride.
Either way thank god, cant stomach another woke Lara

and they just renewed her deal in the last 2 weeks so they must still be happy with her.
 
Tomb Raider aside, these overall deals are going to start going away if things keep going this way. You can't not have anything to show in 6 years. Not just that, but the one show you were a part of(that ended up doing good numbers for Amazon) you leave over "creative differences".

And to everyone calling this "woke", get over yourselves. No one knew what this was going to be (no scripts), and nothing she's worked on before can be considered "woke", unless you've gone and moved the goalpost again.

With Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Amazon in it, you have to be joking.
 
Good. Too much money wasted on fuck all that would've ended up just as coal as the last movie.

She's written a few episodes of Killing Eve, co-wrote the last Bond film, Fleabag, and some episodes of a British sitcom from over 10 years ago. What part of her resume screams "woke" to you?

Ikr, you would think after years of not even one single project they would just boot her..Like seriously not even a advisory role, no guest directing, nothing, shes done literally nothing…
 
Fucking Phoebe Waller-Bridge - makes some quirky comedy show and then gets handed the keys to James Bond, Harrison Ford gets saddled with her in Indiana Jones, and she gets 20 million to make a Tomb Raider tv series. If you want any more evidence how the sad state of pop culture is, look no further than this.

The last Bond movie shits on James Bond, exactly the same as the last Indiana Jones movie where she self inserts. This is the woke trademark: legacy male heroes turned into miserable cuckolds who are pushed around by the occasional Mary Sue. Embarrassing stuff.

The new Lara iteration would follow the steps of the next video game, where she isn't a tomb raider but a "truth seeker" who fights imperialism and evil rich men.

Fleabag is a masterpiece, but she hasn't really proven herself when not writing personal material.
 
Didn't the Tomb Raider cartoon try to make Lara a lesbian?

It seemed like things were going that way. I know they made one of the hetero characters gay.

Maybe not overtly woke, but she is a rampant feminist. The last James Bond movie was shit and there hasn't been a good British sitcom in 15 years.
 
Probably for the best. Would have likely been some feminist drivel that the majority of the populace has no interest in hearing/seeing anymore. Snow White is the latest example.

Latest Tomb Raider movie was absolutely horrendous blue screen CGI crap. All the Tomb Raider movies before it were shit as well.

You can replace the character with any action movie character and the movie won't change.

Tomb Raider IP only works (just about) in games.
