Sophie turner and Kit Harington‘s “Game of Thrones” Reunion Takes an Unexpected Romantic Turn
Fans of “Game of thrones” might be surprised to learn that Sophie Turner and Kit Harington, who portrayed beloved half-siblings Sansa Stark and jon Snow for eight seasons, are reuniting on screen in a very different capacity. The pair are set to star together in the upcoming Gothic horror film, “The Dreadful,” where they will play a romantic couple.
Turner, 29, recently shared her thoughts on this unusual casting, admitting the experience was “really weird for all of us.” she confessed to “Vogue” that while she’s excited about the film, the shift from playing siblings to lovers with Harington is a meaningful one. This sentiment echoes her past statements; in 2016, she told “Access Hollywood” that she couldn’t imagine filming romantic scenes with Harington, predicting she’d “laugh too much.”
However, nearly a decade later, Turner’s perspective has evolved. She even actively encouraged producers to consider Harington for his role in “The Dreadful.” “They were looking for someone for this part, and I was like, ‘You can’t not cast Kit’,” she revealed to “The Sunday Times.”
“The Dreadful” is set in 15th-century England during the tumultuous Wars of the Roses, a past period that also served as inspiration for George R.R. Martin’s “A Song of Ice and Fire” series, the basis for “game of Thrones.” Turner playfully commented on this connection, suggesting, “We’ll probably be floating around in robes on cliffs again.”
In the film,Turner plays Anne,an isolated woman living on the fringes of society with her mother-in-law.her solitary existence is disrupted by the arrival of a man from her past, portrayed by Harington. His character initiates a series of events that prove to be a pivotal turning point for Anne.
Directed by Natasha Kermani (“Lucky,” “Abraham’s Boys”), “The Dreadful” boasts a strong cast, including Marcia Gay Harden, Laurence O’Fuarain, and Jonathan Howard. Filming concluded last year.
