Kit Harington is Dreadful


Here is some welcome news -- Games of Thrones actors Kit Harington and Sophie Turner are reuniting for a gothic horror movie! Honestly, Kit was built in a lab to play sad-faced Poe-boys so I don't understand why he hasn't done that. Isn't it easy to picture his bosom heaving as a Jack-the-bodice-ripper type? I mean they rebooted Hammer Films and they haven't come calling to Kit yet? WTF? Anyway there's other good news here, besides the thought of Kit in a blousey white poet's shirt standing in a downpour -- the writer-director of this movie (which PS is called, quite perfectly, The Dreadful -- let's just hope it's good otherwise you've handed us critics a lot to lazily pun around with, aka like this very post's title) is Natasha Kermani, whose 2020 movie Lucky was really quite good! Here is my review of that film -- it's streaming on Shudder so do yourself a favor if you haven't already. Back to The Dreadful though -- here's the little bit of info we have on the plot:

"... the film [is] set against the backdrop of the War of the Roses follows Anne (Turner) and her mother-in-law Morwen, who live a solitary, harsh life on the outskirts of society. But when a man (Harington) from their past returns, he will set off a sequence of events that become a turning point for Anne."
Yadda yadda let's hope it's a sexy "turning point." Although -- will it be weird for Kit and Sophie, who plays semi-siblings for eight seasons of Winterfell antics, to get sexy? Whatever, that show was stuffed with incest, we'll get over it. One other Kit-related question I was just wondering the other day though, with regards to their brief turns in the Marvel Cinematic Universe -- do we think we'll ever see his character (Dane Whitman aka the Black Knight) or Richard Madden's ever again? Or does the MCU just wanna forget everything Eternals-related? It seems like you'd have to have an Eternal or two popping up at some point again...

Can't believe the amount of handsome they got into The Eternals, and it was still dull.
When are Harrington and Chris Abbott going to pay brothers?

He actually played Poe boy in a horror Christmas special last year called "Lot No 249". He really did suit the period (Holmes era related), as did his co-star in it Freddie Fox.
