Game Of Thrones siblings cast as lovers in steamy horror movie - as sheepish star admits 'sorry guys, it's really weird for all of us!'
A Game of Thrones star has admitted 'it's really weird for all of us' after landing a new role in an upcoming horror film which sees her former co-star as her lover. Sophie Turner, 29, and Kit Harington, 38, will be back on our screens very soon to star in The Dreadful. 'The Dreadful follows Anne and her mother-in-law Morwen who live a solitary, harsh life on the outskirts of society - but when a man from their past returns, he will set off a sequence of events that become a turning point for Anne,' IMDB's synopsis reads. Kit will take on the role of Jago, while Sophie will play his alter-ego's partner Anne. But some may find it weird considering Kit played Sophie's character Sansa Stark's half-brother Jon Snow on Game of Thrones for all eight seasons, between 2011 and 2019. Speaking about her new role, Sophie told Vogue magazine: 'I've got a few very exciting projects coming out. Kit (pictured) played Sophie's character Sansa Stark's half-brother Jon Snow on Game of Thrones for all eight seasons, between 2011 and 2019 'I did a movie last year which I'm really excited about. '[It's] with my old but very good friend, Kit Harington, who played my brother on Game of Thrones. 'We're doing a Gothic horror, but we play lovers. 'Sorry guys, it's really weird for all of us.' Sophie was just 14-years-old when she first appeared on the popular series, while Kit was 10 years older than her. The pair will also be joined by Marcia Gay Harden, Lauren O'Fuarain, Jonathan Howard, Catherine McDonough, Zachary Cohen, Huxley Sheppard, Tigerlily Langford and Jürgen Koenen. The Dreadful has been directed and writer by Natasha Kermani. But despite finding it weird, the mum-of-two actually put her former co-star's name forward. She told The Times: 'They were trying to find someone for that role, and I was like, "You can't not have Kit." 'It's set around the time of the Wars of the Roses, so we'll probably be floating about in robes on clifftops again.' Game of Thrones hit our screens in 2011. The fantasy series, based on A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R Martin, aired 73 episodes over eight series. And it boasted a stellar cast, including Sean Bean, Mark Add, Michelle Fairley, Lena Headey, Emilia Clarke, Iain Glen and Harry Lloyd. But this isn't the only film that will allow GoT fans to get their fix. Last month it Netflix fans have been gripped by a 'highly underrated' period drama with two major Game Of Thrones stars. The historical drama, titled Medici, first aired in 2016 and consists of three seasons. Based in 15th-century Renaissance Florence, the series follows the Medici dynasty as it 'flexes its power in politics and the arts,' according to the synopsis. The show has largely gone unnoticed despite boasting an impressive cast of well-known talent. In the first season, Medici: Masters of Florence, Game Of Thrones actor Richard Madden stars as Cosimo de' Medici. The Scottish actor played Robb Stark in the first three seasons of the fantasy drama between 2011 and 2013. While another Game Of Thrones star, Sean Bean, joined Medici in season two and plays Florentine banker Jacopo de'Pazzi.

Sophie Turner says playing 'lovers' with 'Game of Thrones' brother Kit Harington was 'really weird' in new movie
The reunion we've all been waiting for — but with a very different dynamic. Sophie Turner is issuing a warning about her onscreen reunion with Kit Harington. After starring as half-siblings Sansa Stark and Jon Snow across eight seasons of Game of Thrones, the duo are next teaming up for The Dreadful, a gothic horror film set against the 15th-century War of the Roses. Fans will no doubt be thrilled to see the actors share the screen once more — but Turner wants everyone to be prepared for a dynamic that's a tad different. "I did a movie last year which I'm really excited about with my old but very good friend Kit Harington, who played my brother on Game of Thrones," Turner, 29, told Vogue in a Wednesday video. "We're doing a gothic horror… but we play lovers." With a grimace, Turner offered her apologies to those who watched them star as siblings on the HBO drama, adding, "Sorry, guys. It's really weird for all of us." To be fair, Thrones fans are more than accustomed to uncomfortable undertones of incest. In fact, fans were abuzz about the romantic potential between Sansa and Jon throughout the show's final seasons, especially after — — they were revealed to be cousins rather than siblings. In a 2016 chat with Access Hollywood, Turner joked, "Things could happen, things couldn't happen. They are cousins and it is Game of Thrones." But at the time, she added that sharing romantic scenes with Harington would be impossible: "I could not do that with Kit," she said. "There's no way I could do those kind of scenes with Kit— I'd laugh way too much." Less than a decade later, The Dreadful will see Turner play Anne, an outsider who lives with her mother-in-law on the fringes of society when her harsh and solitary life is suddenly upended by the presence of a man (Harington) from their past, who sets off a sequence of events that become a turning point for Anne. Despite the awkwardness of playing a love interest to her former onscreen brother/cousin, Turner previously admitted that she encouraged producers to consider Harington for the part. "They were trying to find someone for that role, and I was like, 'You can't not have Kit,'" she told the Sunday Times last year. "It's set around the time of the Wars of the Roses, so we'll probably be floating about in robes on clifftops again." The story also has another Thrones connection — the 15th century conflict that served as its backdrop was also a primary inspiration for George R.R. Martin while writing the Song of Ice and Fire series on which Game of Thrones is film, which wrapped production last year, is also set to star Marcia Gay Harden, Laurence O'Fuarain, and Jonathan Howard. The Dreadful hails from Lucky and Abraham's Boys director Natasha Kermani, who also penned the script. Read the original article on Entertainment Weekly Solve the daily Crossword
