MGM has hired Amy Jump, the screenwriter on Ben Wheatley’s “Free Fire” and “High-Rise,” to write the screenplay for “Tomb Raider 2” starring Alicia Vikander, an individual with knowledge of the project told TheWrap.
Jump is also writing “Freak Shift” with Wheatley, which is currently in preproduction with Film4. Some of her other writing credits include “A Field in England,” “Kill List” and “Sightseers.” She’s also served as an editor on all of Wheatley’s films, and she was an executive producer on “The Duke of Burgundy.”
The rebooted “Tomb Raider” starring Vikander arrived last March and grossed $274.6 million worldwide on a $94 million budget.
