• Sophie Turner revealed on Late Night with Seth Meyers that she and Kit Harington were left retching during their first on-camera kiss for The Dreadful, calling the moment “vile.”
• As a producer on the film, Turner said she recruited Harington by sending him the script, which led him to quip that the premise would be “really f***ing weird.”
• The Dreadful, co-starring Marcia Gay Harden, is a gothic horror film set in 15th-century Wars of the Roses England that remains in post-production without a confirmed release date.
• Turner and Harington’s romantic pairing in the new film contrasts sharply with their long-running sibling roles as Sansa Stark and Jon Snow on Game of Thrones.
• Turner’s unverified anecdote about inadvertently ending a celebrity engagement has been widely circulated by tabloids following her interview, illustrating the viral pull of promotional interviews.
