Tomb Raider Returns to Free TV as Amazon Reboot Faces Reported Set Strains

A fresh German rebroadcast of the Angelina Jolie film shifts attention to a Sophie Turner series facing reports of an on-set injury alongside crew pay complaints.

Overview

  • Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, the 2001 film starring Angelina Jolie, aired in Germany on Tuesday at 8:15 p.m. on Kabel Eins.
  • The movie drew poor notices from reviewers, holding 21% on Rotten Tomatoes and a 5.8 out of 10 user score on IMDb.
  • Prime Video’s new Tomb Raider series with Sophie Turner was reportedly paused after a back injury, and Turner has since returned to set as pay complaints from crew continue, according to Watson’s account of Daily Mail reporting and unnamed staff.
  • Critics often note the film’s thin story but high-impact action under director Simon West, and it features one of Daniel Craig’s early major roles before James Bond.
  • The broadcast revives interest in a franchise that has rotated screen leads from Jolie to Alicia Vikander in 2018 to Turner for the planned streaming series.
