The Tomb Raider video game, and its Lara Croft adventures, have been turned into three movies, none of which have perfectly captured the games. Amazon Studios still believes in the promise of the character and property, however, as they’ve got a film and television brewing.

Amazon sure seems to be all-in on the franchise, hoping for their own Marvel Cinematic Universe of sorts. Stay tuned for more.
