Production of the Tomb Raider reboot, a high-budget television series from Amazon Prime Video, has temporarily stopped. The series, which features Sophie Turner in the lead role of Lara Croft, is based on the popular video game franchise. The project, directed by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, has an estimated budget of £100 million. Filming began in January, and images of Turner in the role of the archaeologist turned adventurer had already been leaked.

A statement from Amazon MGM Studio confirmed the news: 'Sophie Turner recently experienced a minor injury. As a precaution, production has briefly paused to allow her time to recover. We look forward to resuming production as soon as possible.' It has not been revealed if the injury occurred during filming or on another occasion. Sources close to the production suggest that the pause could last around two weeks, although others indicate that the situation could jeopardize the entire series.

Images from the set in Surrey show Turner performing stunts, including a scene where she parachutes onto a beach. An anonymous source told The Sun: 'It's been chaos on set and now the whole show is in jeopardy'. Turner has thrown herself into the role, but the demanding physicality of Lara Croft has pushed her body to the limit.

Many on set fear that Turner may have to be replaced, as she may not recover in time. The physical effort of the character may have 'pushed her to the limit', although the amount of material already filmed makes any change of actress a 'real headache for the producers'.

Turner revealed on The Julia Cunningham Show that the role required months of intensive training: 'It's taken me months to get into good shape. We've been training eight hours a day, five days a week since February of last year. Yes, it's been a lot'. She also added: 'I also realized that it's much easier to build muscle if you've worked out before in your life, which I had never done. So it's taken me months and months and months to get in good shape'.

In January, Turner spoke about the physical journey to prepare for the role, and the 'perpetual back problem' she discovered as a result. The actress has been training intensely for months for this role.

The series features a stellar cast including Sigourney Weaver, Jason Isaacs and Celia Imrie. In September, after the announcement of her casting, Turner stated: 'She is an iconic character, who means so much to so many, and I am giving everything I have'. 'It's a big challenge, following in the footsteps of Angelina and Alicia with their powerful performances, but with Phoebe at the helm, we (and Lara) are all in very safe hands. I can't wait for you all to see what we are preparing', she concluded.

The series is a high-profile production that has generated great expectation among fans of the franchise and followers of Turner, known for her role in Game of Thrones. The pause in production raises questions about the future of the series and Turner's recovery. Metro has contacted Amazon Prime Video for additional comments on the situation.

Sophie Turner's injury has put the production of the Tomb Raider reboot in check, generating uncertainty about the future of the series. The decision to stop filming reflects the concern for the actress's health and the complexity of her role, which demands a high level of physical preparation. The possible replacement of Turner, in case her recovery is prolonged, would represent a challenge for the producers, who would have to rethink the production and possibly delay the premiere of the series. The situation highlights the physical demands of action roles and the importance of the safety and well-being of the actors on set.
