AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
Former Game of Thrones stars Kit Harington and Sophie Turner are reuniting for the gothic horror film The Dreadful, though Harington admits that filming romantic scenes together felt a bit strange after years of playing on-screen siblings.
For years, fans watched Kit Harington and Sophie Turner navigate the treacherous political landscape of Westeros as close siblings in Game of Thrones. Now, the actors are reuniting for a very different kind of project in the upcoming gothic horror film The Dreadful. Transitioning from family dynamics to a romance on screen proved to be a surreal experience for the cast, particularly when it came to physical logistics and bridging the height gap.
In a recent interview with E! Online, Harington admitted that filming intimate scenes with his former co-star came with moments of awkwardness. Between the sheer history of their previous roles and a notable height difference requiring him to stand on an apple box to shoot romantic moments, the process kept the actor on his toes. Harington also revealed that Turner was the one who initially brought the script to him, leaving him slightly amused and perplexed that she did not immediately foresee the romantic implications of their casting.
While the transition from siblings to lovers on film is always bound to turn heads in the pop culture sphere, both actors appear ready to lean into the unusual dynamic for their latest cinematic venture. As more details about The Dreadful emerge, audiences tracking the post-Westeros careers of these familiar faces will undoubtedly be watching to see how their on-screen chemistry translates to the horror genre.
