Page Six confirmed that during the filming of the new "Tomb Raider" series, heroine Sophie Turner suffered a "minor injury", causing filming to be temporarily suspended. Production on Amazon's MGM Studios "Tomb Raider" series was briefly halted while the "Game of Thrones" actress nursed an injury. "We look forward to resuming filming as soon as possible," a spokesperson for Amazon-MGM Studios said in a statement.
Another source familiar with the matter revealed that Sophie Turner is expected to return to the set in two weeks, during which the crew will still be paid and busy with preparatory work.
According to "American Sun" citing people familiar with the matter, the actress had an old back injury before, and since the filming started in January, the injury has been aggravated by long-term and high-intensity filming. An insider said: "Sophie is fully committed to the role, but playing Lara Croft is extremely physically demanding and she pushes herself too hard."
Sophie Turner revealed on "The Julia Cunningham Show" in January that she discovered her "chronic back problems" over several months of training over the past year.
She said frankly at the time: "Since February last year, we have been training five days a week, eight hours a day, and the training volume is very heavy." The actor who starred in "X-Men: Dark Phoenix" also said that if you have previous fitness experience, it will be much easier to build muscle. "But I never have, so it took a long time to get into shape."
News of the injury comes shortly after Sophie Turner was spotted filming the action series in the UK earlier this month.
