Sophie Turner, known for her role in “Game of Thrones,” has suffered a minor injury during the production of the new “Tomb Raider” series. This reboot, produced by Amazon MGM Studios, has led to a temporary halt in filming while she recovers.
Production Suspension Due to Injury
The production team confirmed that filming is paused as Sophie Turner focuses on her recovery. An Amazon MGM Studios spokesperson highlighted, “We look forward to resuming production as soon as possible.”
Expected Return and Preparations
- Turner is anticipated to return to the set in approximately two weeks.
- During this downtime, crew members will continue with preparatory work and will be compensated.
A source informed Page Six that the actress had a pre-existing back injury that worsened due to long hours spent on set. She began filming for the series in January, and insider reports suggest that her dedication to the role resulted in her overexerting herself.
Training Regimen and Health Concerns
Turner has been committed to extensive training, reportedly engaging in eight-hour sessions five days a week since February of last year. She has openly discussed how these intense workouts revealed the severity of her back issues.
According to Turner, “It’s much easier to kind of build muscle if you’ve ever worked out before in your life,” which she admitted was not her case. This statement underscores the challenges she faced in preparing for the physically demanding role of Lara Croft.
Background on the “Tomb Raider” Series
The upcoming series is based on the popular video game character Lara Croft, a renowned archaeologist and adventurer. This reboot is not the first adaptation, as the character has previously been portrayed by Angelina Jolie and Alicia Vikander in earlier film productions.
As production resumes, fans eagerly await more updates regarding Sophie Turner’s recovery and the developments in the “Tomb Raider” reboot.
