SHOCKING CO-STAR REUNION!

In a move that will leave Game of Thrones fans reeling, Sophie Turner and Kit Harington are set to reunite on screen in the upcoming horror film, The Dreadful. But what's even more jaw-dropping is that they'll be playing lovers - yes, you read that right, folks!

The 29-year-old actress, best known for her iconic portrayal of Sansa Stark on the hit HBO series, has opened up about the project in a revealing interview with Vogue magazine. And let's just say she's being pretty candid about how "weird" it is to be working with her former co-star again - especially considering their on-screen history.

As fans will recall, Kit played Sophie's half-brother Jon Snow on Game of Thrones for eight seasons, and the duo's characters had a rather complicated relationship. So, when Sophie revealed that she's starring alongside Kit in The Dreadful, many are left wondering how they'll make this awkward reunion work.

In a move that's sure to raise eyebrows, Sophie has admitted that she was the one who suggested Kit for the role - and we can't help but wonder what kind of conversation ensued between these two former co-stars. After all, it's not every day you get to play lovers with your on-screen sibling!

The Dreadful, which is set in 15th-century Renaissance Florence, follows the story of Anne and her mother-in-law Morwen as they navigate a harsh and solitary life on the outskirts of society. But when a man from their past returns, things start to take a dark turn - and that's where Kit comes in, playing the role of Jago.

Despite the unconventional nature of this project, Sophie seems to be embracing the weirdness head-on. In her interview with Vogue, she revealed that she was excited to reunite with Kit on set, saying: "Sorry guys, it’s really weird for all of us."

But we can't help but wonder - what's really going on behind the scenes? Are these two former co-stars just trying to make the most of their on-screen chemistry, or is there something more brewing beneath the surface?

As fans of Game of Thrones know, Sophie and Kit have a long history together - they were both part of the show's core cast for eight seasons, after all. And let's not forget that their characters had some pretty intense moments on screen.
