Amazon is working on a new movie, TV series and video game!
Apparently, Amazon has decided to gamble big on Tomb Raider.
Apparently, Amazon has decided to gamble big on Tomb Raider. First came the news that in collaboration with Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Fleabag, Killing Eve) Amazon is preparing a feature series based on the popular video game. According to them, the project is in the very early stages of development, but Waller-Bridge is hired as a writer and executive producer of the series, while the other executive producers of the series are Ryan Andolina, Amanda Greenblatt and Dmitri M. Johnson.
And after we barely had time to process the news about the TV series, new news arrived! Amazon has teamed up with dj2 Entertainment to make a new Tomb Raider movie, but also a new video game. A source familiar with the deal described it as one of Amazon's biggest commitments since "Lord of the Rings". By comparison, Amazon spent an estimated $250 million on the rights alone for "The Rings of Power" multi-season series and possible spin-offs.
The idea is to build a connected world of Tomb Raider, with the video game, TV series and movie all linked together in a similar way to what Marvel has done. The video game was announced by Amazon Games and Crystal Dynamics back in December 2022, and the order of new video games is currently considered very likely.
More interesting is the fact that dj2 Entertainment also signed a deal for the Tomb Raider anime series on Netflix, covering a two-season order. The company has spent the past year and more sorting out the rights. Last year, Crystal Dynamics regained control of the rights to the Tomb Raider games, after Embracer completed its acquisition of Square Enix.
Dmitri M. Johnson and his company dj2 Entertainment signed a general contract with Amazon back in February 2022. According to the contract, the focus of the company, which also co-produced the film "Sonic the Hedgehog", is on the adaptation of video games for the streaming platform.
