- Sophie Turner suffered an injury while filing the new Tomb Raider show.
- Production will reportedly be shut down for weeks.
- Tomb Raider is being directed by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, and will air on Amazon Prime.
Sophie Turner has been busy filming the new Tomb Raider, but it looks like production has been paused due to an injury on set. Details are scarce, but Amazon MGM Studios released a statement to Entertainment Weekly saying “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.”
According to Deadline sources, “the shutdown is expected to last two weeks, and the crew will be paid during it.”
Fleabag creator and star Phoebe Waller-Bridge is writing and executive producing Tomb Raider for Amazon Prime, and the plot is being kept fully under wraps. Sophie told The Julia Cunningham Show (via EW) that security measures are "crazier security than Game of Thrones," adding that reading scripts involves “a million log-ins,” “the face recognition thing,” and that “It's like raiding a tomb just getting to the scripts.”
She also spoke about how physical the shoot has been, saying “I’ve learned I have a perpetual back problem, but I also realized that it’s much easier to kind of build muscle if you’ve ever worked out before in your life, which I never had, so it has taken me months and months and months to get into good shape. That’s what I’ve learned.”
