The two “Game of Thrones” stars Sophie Turner and Kit Harrington appear in front of the camera together for a gothic horror film – around five years after the end of the fantasy series. The new horror flick is set to take place in medieval England.
Sophie Turner and Kit Harington celebrated great success with the HBO fantasy series “Game of Thrones”. Now the two acting stars can look forward to a new joint project. They will be in front of the camera for the gothic horror film “The Dreadful”, as the US news portal Deadline reports.
The script is written by Natasha Kermani, who will also direct. The film is about Anne (Turner) and her mother-in-law Morwen, who lead a lonely, hard life on the fringes of society. “But when a man (Harington) from her past returns, he sets in motion a series of events that become a turning point for Anne,” Deadline says in the plot description. The scary story is apparently set in England in the 15th century. Director Natasha Kermani linked the media report and announced the film on Instagram.
In the HBO series “Game of Thrones” (GoT), which is based on a series of fantasy novels by George RR Martin, Turner played the role of Sansa Stark and Harington played Jon Snow. Both were nominated for, among other things, an Emmy for their performance. GoT ended with season eight in 2019. Turner was then seen in the film “Do Revenge”, among others, and Harington starred in the Marvel film “Eternals” in 2021.
