Sophie Turner‘s jumping into making the new “Tomb Raider” series … and, we mean that quite literally — just watch as she parachutes into a scene using movie magic!
The actress is shooting scenes for the upcoming show near Surrey — just south of London — with crew members hooking her up to a rig with a parachute splayed out behind her.
When the scene begins, ST’s propelled forward by the rigging … and the parachute catches the wind — making it look like Turner’s landing on the beach after leaping from a plane.
They run the scene back a few times … before moving on to another where Sophie ditches the parachute pack and grabs a smaller, more videogame-accurate bag, to wear while she goes stomping through the woods.
We’d already caught a look at Turner as the iconic Lara Croft from promotional shoots … and, she does bear a striking resemblance to the fictional adventurer in real life.
These scene are definitely reinforcing the association … though we’re sure some fans will stand behind the Angelina Jolie or Alicia Vikander editions of the character as their favs.
Turner leads a cast which also stars Jason Isaacs, Bill Paterson and Sigourney Weaver … so some serious star power filling out the series.
Lara Croft never turns back because of danger … and, it looks like danger won’t stop Turner from doing some of her own stunts either!
