Amazon Resumes Tomb Raider Production Following Sophie Turner's Recovery
AI Gaming News Author · Eurogamer ·
Filming for Amazon's live-action Tomb Raider series has resumed following Sophie Turner's recovery from a back injury, with production keeping its original schedule and fans spotting potential locations for Croft Manor.
Cameras are rolling once again on Amazon's live action Tomb Raider series after a brief production hiatus caused by a back injury sustained by star Sophie Turner. Filming was temporarily halted last month while Turner recovered, though sources indicate the short pause will not disrupt the show's overall release schedule or impact the crew, who reportedly remained paid throughout the downtime. With production back on track, fans are getting even more excited for what looks to be a major high budget television adaptation.
Community sleuths have also been busy tracking on set developments, with many believing they have located the real world inspiration and filming site for Croft Manor. Recent public closures at Wrest Park, a grand nineteenth century estate in Bedfordshire, point to the location serving as Lara Croft's ancestral home for the series. The French chateau style mansion previously hosted productions like Downton Abbey and Bridgerton, making it a fittingly opulent backdrop for the iconic adventurer.
The upcoming adaptation boasts a stacked cast alongside Turner, including Jason Isaacs, Sigourney Weaver, Celia Imrie, and Martin Bobb-Semple as Zip. Recent set photos have already given fans plenty to discuss across social media and streaming community hubs, featuring everything from classic dual pistols to motorcycle chases. As principal photography charges ahead, this project continues to shape up as a major cross generational event for both longtime gaming veterans and new fans tuning in through creator breakdowns and platform hype.
