Sophie Turner Describes 'Vile' Kiss With Kit Harington in The Dreadful

The former on-screen siblings both retched during filming of their first kissing scene for the gothic horror film now in post-production.

Overview

  • Turner shared the anecdote on Late Night with Seth Meyers, calling the experience one of the worst moments of her career and saying both actors began retching.
  • The Dreadful, written and directed by Natasha Kermani, casts Turner as Anne, who is unsettled by a mysterious figure portrayed by Harington.
  • As a producer on the project, Turner sent Harington the script despite initial hesitation over their Game of Thrones sibling dynamic.
  • She said the kissing scene felt more harrowing than working with live rats and cockroaches on her other upcoming film, Trust.
  • Set during England’s Wars of the Roses and inspired by Japanese horror traditions, the period gothic horror has no official release date.
