The “Tomb Raider” series has resumed filming after being shut down for a couple of weeks due to an injury Sophie Turner sustained.
Turner, who is playing Lara Croft in the hit movie, suffered an “undisclosed injury,” with TMZ further reporting that while she is “doing several of her own stunts for the series, she was not hurt while on the clock.”
Due to the injury, the series had to pause filming for the short time.
But now, the outlet reports that “production on the highly anticipated Amazon series has resumed after a pause due to the actress getting injured. We hear the pause will not impact the production schedule.”
The movie is based on the “Tomb Raider” video game that was first released in 1996. Croft is an archaeologist and adventurer, who in past adaptations of the movie has been played by Angelina Jolie and Alicia Vikander.
Along with Turner, the cast includes Martin Bobb-Semple, Sigourney Weaver, Jason Isaacs, Martin Bobb-Semple, Jack Bannon, John Heffernan, Bill Paterson, Paterson Joseph, Sasha Luss, Juliette Motamed, Celia Imrie and August Wittgenstein.
Sophie Turned Opened Up About Her Chronic Health Issue While Preparing For ‘Tomb Raider’
In an interview on The Julia Cunningham Show, Turner opened up about her preparation for the role of Lara Croft in the action movie.
“We’ve been doing eight hours a day, five days a week since February of last year, of training,” she explained. “Yeah, so it’s been a lot.”
“But, I also realized that it’s much easier to kind of build muscle if you’ve never worked out before in your life, which I never had. So, it’s taken me months and months and months to get into good shape,” Turner added.
And with that, it led Turner to find out that she had a “perpetual back problem.”
Sophie Turner Says Her ‘Game of Thrones’ Role Didn’t Help Prepare Her For ‘Tomb Raier
In her interview with The Julia Cunningham Show, the actress was also asked if her role in the hit series “Game of Thrones,” where she portrayed Sansa Stark in all eight seasons, helped prepare her for “Tomb Raider.”
“No, I was the cool queen who, like, didn’t have to do that,” she said. “I also just kind of was the one that got beat up, not the one doing the beating. So, it’s quite nice to learn how to throw a punch and not just take it.”
