In an exciting development for fans of “Game of Thrones,” actors Kit Harington and Sophie Turner are set to reunite on the big screen. According to Deadline, the duo will be starring in “The Dreadful,” a Gothic horror film written and directed by Natasha Kermani.
The film’s narrative unfolds against the historical backdrop of the War of the Roses, focusing on the characters Anne (played by Turner) and her mother-in-law Morwen, who lead a solitary and challenging life on the fringes of society. The arrival of a man from their past (played by Harington) sets off a series of events that become a crucial turning point for Anne.
Sophie Turner shared the exciting news with her followers on Instagram, expressing her anticipation for the project. In her caption, she humorously remarked, “I mean we couldn’t NOT hang out again ya know #thedreadful.”
Fans quickly voiced their excitement at the prospect of seeing the “Game of Thrones” stars back together. Social media buzzed with comments like, “Two Starks in the same building—everyone better be careful; it won’t be long until the banners are called,” and “The King And Queen of the North!”
Aside from their reunion, the film boasts a strong production team, including producers from Redwire Pictures/Tunnel, Storyboard Media, and Black Magic.
Sophie Turner, who recently appeared in “Do Revenge” and HBO’s miniseries “The Staircase,” is set to star in the upcoming British crime series “Joan,” portraying the real-life criminal “Godmother” Joan Hannington.
Meanwhile, Kit Harington has been busy with recent projects such as the TV series “Extrapolations” and “Lot No. 249,” along with movies like “Blood for Dust” and “Baby Ruby.” Notably, he portrayed Dane Whitman, the Marvel Comics character destined to become the Black Knight, in “Eternals,” hinting at potential future appearances in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The duo rose to fame with their roles in “Game of Thrones,” with Harington as Jon Snow and Turner as Sansa Stark. The show’s intricate plot revealed in its seventh season that Jon and Sansa share a blood relation, adding a layer of complexity to their characters. The anticipation for “The Dreadful” is high, as fans eagerly await the on-screen chemistry between these two beloved actors.
