Sophie Turner back injury shuts down filming on Lara Croft reboot

What a strange choice of photo

She'll be getting a call from Harrison Ford to discuss his post back injury temple of doom work out any minute. Gotta get that expert archeological advice.

anything related to a back injury you take seriously.

Sounds like she accidentally hit jump and did a backflip off a cliffs edge. Been there.

what a horrid picture to use

wow I do hope its not serious

Hope she’s ok.

I enjoyed her in steal, and despite what everyone thinks, i think she played her part well in GOT. her being lara is giving me similar feelings to how i feel about the HP reboot, not good. Lol But who knows, it's going to need some very good writing choices to make it good, otherwise it will flop hard imo

“We’ve been doing 8 hours a day, 5 days a week” so like a real job? LOL

What a clickbait c***, they will resume filming in possibly two weeks

Ugh… back injuries that nag until they break you are so hard to identify, heal, and *keep* healed. I’ve had a couple back spasms and herniated discs in my lower back from sitting on the floor with my dog at a twisted angle and picking up a turkey up from a low reach place. Of course, those were not the causes, those were just the last things I did before all hell broke loose. All sorts of things set you up for it… sleeping on a bad bed, sitting too long, standing too long, walking too long, driving a lot (one leg exerting more pressure than the other can knock the hips out of alignment), and, my favorite, bend and twist, the ultimate in spine shear! And once you get hurt like this one time, good f****** luck… it’s never really right again. And yes, I am someone who exercises regularly. That’s actually part of the problem. A lifetime of martial arts, mountain biking, and CrossFit fucked my back up. If 50 year old me could tell 20 year old me one thing it would be to do a quarter of what I was fit enough to do. 😂 I hope she is back to work in 2 weeks.. maybe her youth will help her. But I wouldn’t be surprised if she turns into a drug addict trying to heal that fast. My injuries have taken at least a month to *start* trusting my body again. A lot of lost money for them, lots of pressure. I hope she can prioritize her health.

My brain automatically went to the horrific death animations they put in the recent games

>the actor had a pre-existing back injury that had progressed with long hours on set since filming started in January. Calm down people.

This is going to ruin the tour

I hope she isn't horribly miscast in the hospital too

I’ve had a “minor” back injury. Thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours of PT later I’m back to normal. Only took 2 years

Part of the struggle of being tall.

Welp, get well soon

I hate it when I swan dive and miss the water. The best cure is iced tea. Iykyk

I hope she’s ok.

Based on the picture I’d say she’s in great pain and needs medical help immediately.

Someone must have Karen Gillan's phone number for the stunts, surely?

I watched Steal recently, it was impossible to feel anything for her character.. she just has no charisma at all and her accent kept slipping, she's not a good actress and she seems like a really bizarre choice for this role.

I do wish we could have a Lara Croft who was somewhat reminiscent of the video game.

They should take this as an omen to recast the role.

They cast Sophie Turner as Lara Croft? They really don't get why that character was popular.

Wishing her well on her recovery.

That sucks, hope she is ok.

As someone who has suffered back injuries since 2011 I know exactly what she’s going through and it’s no joke.

This really sucks. I watched a back injury turn my mom, who was the life of the party, into a shadow of herself. When your back hurts, it means everything hurts. You can’t open a jar, check your phone, change the channel, turn your head, without the worst pain you’ve ever felt. A lot of people think a back injury means you can’t lift stuff or be athletic anymore, but it really means that every single move you make hurts. Every single minuscule movement is earth shatteringly bad. She was so full of life and constant, daily pain ruined her spirit. I hope sophie heals

I hope she’s okay, love her 💖💖

Doesn’t surprise me that Lara Croft would have back issues.

Such a weird way to say "She got hurt."

But she’s not even packing!

I imagine Lara Croft also had low back issues 😅

How does productions deal with this logistically? Are they insured for delays? Does Sophie get sued for non performance?

So, they chose a person with back problems to portray a character that is highly physically active? That seems like a poor casting choice… I would say this was just a matter of time until it happened…

Awful that she got injured but I still think she’s miscast.

It's always odd when a part becomes bigger than the whole. When did it become the Lara Croft reboot instead of Tomb Raider?

WTF is that picture and that makeup

i don't see her as lara croft. alicia vikander was perfect. they couldve stopped there. why all these reboots?

They are probably mothballing the project because it’s going to make more money thru insurance

>The star shared in January that she learned about her "perpetual back problem" during her months-long training routine last year. >"We've been doing eight hours a day, five days a week, since February last year of training, so it's been a lot," she said on The Julia Cunningham radio show. >The X-Men star further explained how "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." What kind of f****** training regiment was she on for Lara Croft that required her to "train" 40 hours a week? Like were they going to strap a GoPro to her and have her actually raid tombs or something?

Someone is sure trying to make Sophie Turner a thing.

Unfortunate for her.

This show is DOA
