Game of Thrones stars Sophie Turner and Kit Harington reunite as lovers in new horror film
In a recent Vogue interview, Turner admitted the romantic scenes felt 'really weird' after portraying siblings for nearly a decade. 'We're doing a gothic horror… but we play lovers,' she said, adding, 'Sorry, guys. It's really weird for all of us.'
Set during the 15th-century War of the Roses—a historical conflict that inspired Game of Thrones—The Dreadful follows Anne (Turner), a reclusive woman whose quiet life is disrupted when a man from her past (Harington) reappears, triggering dark events.
Turner even suggested Harington for the role, telling The Sunday Times, 'You can't not have Kit.' Their casting adds extra meaning for longtime fans familiar with their on-screen history.
Directed by Natasha Kermani (Lucky), The Dreadful also stars Marcia Gay Harden and Laurence O'Fuarain. The film wrapped last year and is expected to release later in 2025.

First Avatar 3 trailer introduces Varang, a deadly Na'vi villain in Fire and Ash
The first official trailer for Avatar: Fire and Ash, the third installment in James Cameron's iconic sci-fi franchise, has been unveiled—offering fans a fiery look into Pandora's darkest chapter yet. Releasing on December 19, Fire and Ash shifts the conflict from human invaders to a brutal internal war among the Na'vi themselves. The highlight of the trailer is the introduction of Varang, the franchise's first full-on Na'vi villain, voiced by Game of Thrones actress Oona Chaplin. As the fierce leader of the Ash Clan, Varang resides in the volcanic highlands and wears a haunting red-and-black headdress. In one chilling moment, she hisses at Kiri (Sigourney Weaver), 'Your goddess has no dominion here,' hinting at a deeper spiritual divide between Na'vi factions. The trailer also reveals Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), Neytiri (Zoe Saldaña), and their children navigating both familial bonds and escalating warfare. Lo'ak (Britain Dalton) continues to bond with Tsireya (Bailey Bass), while epic visuals of magma-filled landscapes, returning oceanic Tulkun, flying Ikran, and new jellyfish-like airships expand Pandora's mythology. With Avatar and Way of Water grossing over $5.2 billion combined, expectations are high. Avatar: Fire and Ash is not just a sequel—it's a bold new direction for the franchise. Two more sequels are already in the works, with releases set for 2029 and 2031.
