Amazon Pauses Tomb Raider Series After Sophie Turner Suffers Minor Injury

The studio describes a short precautionary shutdown with a planned two-week pause, with crew kept on payroll.

Overview

  • Amazon MGM Studios said Sunday, March 29, that filming is on hold so Sophie Turner can recover from what it called a minor injury.
  • Production sources expect the pause to last about two weeks, and the crew will be paid during the hiatus.
  • The studio has not said whether the injury happened on set, leaving the circumstances uncertain.
  • Turner previously said intense training for the role revealed a long-term back issue, which has informed coverage of the injury risk.
  • Some tabloids suggest longer delays or even recasting, but those claims are unconfirmed, and the high-profile series from creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge has been filming in the U.K. since January with a cast that includes Sigourney Weaver and Jason Isaacs.
