The Tomb Raider universe was born. Amazon is taking inspiration from what Marvel has done

Yesterday we reported it Amazon is preparing a Tomb Raider TV series. As it turns out, this is only a drop in the ocean of plans the media giant has for the brand.

“Tomb Raider” – the whole universe will be created

Amazon reached an agreement with dj2 Entertainment and jointly purchased the rights to the “Tomb Raider” brand. The goal is creation media world Similar to what Marvel built. How much Amazon paid for it was not disclosed. However, the Hollywood Reporter portal claims that only the rights to the series “Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power” and its spin-offs spent more (and the value of this contract is about $250 million).

So the series is just an introduction. It is also planned New full movie and several New video games (Work on the first game was announced to begin in December.)

However, the new agreement between dj2 Entertainment and Amazon will not affect dj2 Entertainment’s previous activities. The studio actually made a deal with the platform some time ago Netflix. he does it to her Anime series “Tomb rider”. The platform commissioned two seasons to produce.

The only thing we know about the live-action series set in the “Tomb Raider” universe is that Phoebe Waller-Bridge, who works with Amazon, will be in charge of its scheme.

The series “Tomb Raider” – games and films that conquered the world

Tomb Raider is a series of video games that have been around since 1996, which has sold nearly 90 million copies to date. The main character of the series is the British aristocrat and adventurer Lara Croft. Despite her noble birth, Lara is generally uninterested in upper-class society, finding it rigid and boring. She is more fascinated by delving into the mysteries of the past. Lara’s expeditions focus on finding the most powerful and dangerous artifacts in the world.

Angelina Jolie was the first person to play Lara Croft on the big screen. Her two films, Tomb Raider (2001) and Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life (2003), have grossed $432 million worldwide. In 2018, the screens saw a reboot of the series, starring the Oscar-winning Swedish actress Alicia Vikander. The show drew $274 million from viewers’ purses against a budget of $94 million. In April 2019, a sequel to the film was announced. Ultimately, these plans were cancelled, and the producers began looking for a new home for Lara Croft. Today we know that the Amazon platform has become so.
