Just days after a first look at Sophie Turner as Lara Croft was revealed, her new series, Steal, premiered on Prime Video. This fast-paced thriller features Turner as Zara Dunne, an office worker who unexpectedly gets caught in the middle of a bank robbery. What starts as a simple heist quickly escalates into a complex situation involving the police, MI5, and the criminals. While Steal might not seem like typical preparation for playing Lara Croft, Turner’s performance actually demonstrated a range of skills that arguably make her a perfect choice for the iconic role.

I started my afternoon at a 3 p.m. showing at the Alamo Drafthouse in Brooklyn. In the lobby, there was a large cardboard bench shaped like something from “Wuthering Heights”, but no one was sitting on it. The theater wasn’t very crowded, mostly filled with people watching the movie alone, a few couples, and a small group of women enjoying Champagne. You could feel the excitement in the air, mixed with the lingering smell of snow. I spoke with a friendly man named Jared, 27, who had read the book a year ago before the movie came out, but he was really there because of his mother. He explained, “She loves the book, but she won’t see this movie because she doesn’t think it’s a faithful adaptation. She thinks it’s terrible!” He added with a pause, “That’s just her opinion.” He rated the book itself a “seven or higher” out of ten, but declared Margot Robbie “the greatest actress ever.”

Netflix has released a first look at its upcoming series, Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen. Created by Haley Z. Boston and executive produced by the Duffer brothers (known for Stranger Things), the show centers on a couple preparing to get married. The teaser suggests that things won’t go as planned. Starring Camila Morrone as the bride, Rachel, the series hints at unsettling and possibly supernatural events leading up to the wedding. The teaser trailer is available to watch now.

The 2014 film Noah, inspired by the biblical story of Noah’s Ark, earned over $359 million worldwide. However, it also faced criticism for its perceived environmental message and for drawing heavily on texts outside the Bible, such as the Book of Enoch.
