Filming on Tomb Raider has been paused after star Sophie Turner suffered a “minor injury,” Amazon MGM Studios said in a statement.
Turner plays Lara Croft in the Prime Video series, which hails from Fleabag creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge. The show is based on the Tomb Raider video game franchise, which follows the adventures of the famed archaeologist and adventurer.
“Sophie Turner recently experienced a minor injury,” Amazon MGM Studios said. “As a precaution, production has briefly paused to allow her time to recover. We look forward to resuming production as soon as possible.”
The nature of the injury is unclear. The crew will continue to be paid while production is paused, sources said.
The studio announced the start of production on Jan. 15, sharing a first-look image of Turner as Croft.
The cast also includes Sigourney Weaver, Jason Isaacs, Martin Bobb-Semple, Jack Bannon, John Heffernan, Bill Paterson, Paterson Joseph, Sasha Luss, Juliette Motamed, Celia Imrie and August Wittgenstein.
Waller-Bridge is creator, writer, executive producer and co-showrunner alongside Chad Hodge, who is co-showrunner and executive producer. They are joined by Jonathan Van Tulleken, who will serve as director and executive producer.
The series is executive produced by Amazon MGM Studios, Crystal Dynamics, Waller-Bridge and Jenny Robins through Wells Street Films, Dmitri M. Johnson, Michael Lawrence Goldberg, Timothy I. Stevenson, and Dallas Dickinson through Story Kitchen, Michael Scheel and Legendary Television. Matt McInnis is co-executive producer, and Jan R. Martin is producer.
The series is produced by Story Kitchen, Crystal Dynamics and Amazon MGM Studios.
