Sophie Turner and Maisie Williams Want to Make a Movie About Their Friendship, and We're Here for It


Sophie Turner and Maisie Williams have a very public best-friendship, which is understandable considering they’ve spent the past eight years playing sisters on Game of Thrones—a.k.a. all of their adult lives. (Turner is 23; Williams is 22.) They’ve shared a Rolling Stone cover, coordinated wedding guest outfits and Halloween costumes, and hashtagged their ‘grams with “Mophie,” their couple’s nickname. But it hasn’t been all sunshine and roses: Turner opened up in April about how her friendship with Williams could turn “destructive,” explaining how, as their friendship grew stronger, the two had a habit of shutting others out and isolating themselves. Ups and downs are normal in any friendship, of course, but Turner and Williams aren’t exactly your average pair of friends—they’ve grown up together in the spotlight. And they’re not just learning from their experiences to build a healthier friendship: Williams and Turner want to make a movie out of them. And honestly? Consider our tickets bought.

In a new Vogue Paris video, Turner has a conversation over dinner with her friend, actress Jessica Chastain, where she talks about what she wants to do in the future: produce and direct.

“As an actor, you can only have so much creative control,” Turner tells Chastain. “I want to be able to have full creative control and create my own vision, and that’s something I’m quite passionate about.”

The Game of Thrones star then explains that she wants to work with Williams in the future on a pretty cool project: a movie about their friendship.

“My best friend Maisie—who’s on Game of Thrones with me, who plays Arya—she and I have a very intense friendship, a friendship that I haven’t had with any of my other girlfriends before,” Turner said. “We felt like we wanted to write a movie about a friendship where it’s kind of like you’re soulmates, but you’re friends, and it’s like this beautiful connection, but it can also be quite destructive.”

Apparently the two haven’t quite started the project yet, but Turner’s getting ready: She tells Chastain she’s already bought a screenplay-writing book to teach herself the skill. We’ll definitely be keeping our ears out for further developments on this front, though.

Sophie Turner Blames Kit Harington for That Game of Thrones Coffee Cup Blooper


Sophie Turner just put one of the world’s biggest mysteries to rest: the coffee cup gaffe of Game of Thrones season eight.

Don’t know what I’m talking about? Let’s back up for a second. If you watched this season of GoT, then you most likely remember how snoozy episode four was. To be fair, it had a lot to live up to, seeing as how it directly followed Arya Stark killing the Night King. All this dead air, though, probably explains why fans chose not to focus on the plot and instead on a rogue coffee cup that somehow made it into one of the scenes. Here it is to jog your memory:

And a few Twitter reactions to remind you of the sheer pandemonium it caused:

So how the hell did this happen? Game of Thrones is a detailed, big-budget production, so the fact such an obvious mistake made it into a final episode cut is head-scratching. At first Turner blamed the incident on Emilia Clarke, joking to Jimmy Fallon, “Look who it’s placed in front of. Emilia Clarke. She’s the culprit.”

But now Turner’s changing her tune. She now posits that Kit Harington is the one responsible for coffee cup-gate. “I hear this every day of my life. This coffee cup thing,” Turner told Conan O’Brien in a interview on Conan Thursday night, June 6. “It’s good to know the coffee cup got more press than the final season altogether. The coffee cup was where Kit’s chair was. At first I blamed it on Emilia, but I don’t think Emilia would do that. Kit is lazy, and I think he would’ve done that. It was in front of Kit’s chair and then, obviously, he moved so this picture was taken and it looked like it was in my seat. But I wasn’t there, either. It was Kit. It was 100 percent Kit.”

Watch Sophie Turner Realize the Game of Thrones Ending Was Hidden in a Season 1 Poster


Last week we wrote about a Game of Thrones poster from season one that basically revealed the ending of the show hidden in plain sight. That secret spoiler made its way to Sophie Turner in a recent interview, and she was understandably shook that she didn’t catch it either.

In the promo image from about eight years ago, you can see Ned Stark brooding on the Iron Throne. The picture was resurfaced by Twitter user @thommybell, who noticed there’s a clue buried deep in the photo. If you look closely, you can see a raven sitting next to Ned—a dead giveaway that his son Bran Stark, a.k.a. The Three-Eyed Raven, ends up as the leader of the Seven Kingdoms. No one noticed the tiny detail, and most people were amazed once it was pointed out—including Turner.

While doing promo for her new movie Dark Phoenix, Metro U.K. asked Turner if there had been any foreshadowing that fans missed when it came to her character Sansa Stark’s storyline. Turner said the only hint was in the first episode, when Sansa tells her mother, “I want to be queen, Mommy, someday.” That’s when her Dark Phoenix costar Jessica Chastain pointed out the whole poster spoiler.

“You know the poster for the first season—you know what’s on it?” Chastain says in the video. “So it’s your papa on the throne, and there’s a raven on the throne, right to his right.”

Naturally, Turner’s reaction was absolutely priceless.

Turner has been answering tons of questions about Game of Thrones on this press junket. Just a few days ago, Sky News asked her if she ever saw herself reprising her role as Sansa. Her answer will break your heart, though it’s understandable in a way: “I think it’s time to say goodbye to Sansa,” she told the outlet.

“I’m ready-ish to say goodbye to her. I think my watch has ended. I just think it’s been 10 years of my life and the best 10 years of my life by far, and I finished in a very happy place with Sansa and it’s time to let her go.”

Here's How Sophie Turner Feels About Reprising Sansa in the Game of Thrones Spinoffs


The final episode of Game of Thrones was controversial, but one plot line most people seemed to appreciate was (spoiler alert!) Sansa Stark—played by Sophie Turner—being crowned the Warden of the North. Because she’s one of the few characters whose story didn’t end in gut-wrenching tragedy, some have wondered if Sansa might make an appearance in one of the many spinoff shows GoT writer George RR Martin has said are in development. But that probably won’t happen. In a new interview with Sky News this week, Turner said she’s pretty much done with Sansa for now. As she put it, revisiting her character would “just be more trauma.”

“I think it’s time to say goodbye to Sansa,” Turner said, “I’m ready-ish to say goodbye to her, I think my watch has ended. I just think it’s been 10 years of my life and the best 10 years of my life by far, and I finished in a very happy place with Sansa and it’s time to let her go.”

Sophie Turner started filming Game of Thrones when she was 14 years old, and the show has followed her into adulthood. She previously shared that the show caught her in a rough part of adolescence: She battled depression and frequently turned to her co-star and close friend, Maisie Williams, who played her sister Arya Stark. After the show ended, she took some time off to focus on her mental health.

HBO

“I actually am still on my break,” she said. “I took a break off of work to focus on my mental health because I thought it was important.”

Turner commemorated the end of the show with an epic tattoo that showed a direwolf and the text, “The pack survives.” It seemed like a very final gesture, but who knows how things will change as the spinoffs take shape. So far, we only know about a prequel in the works, and it takes place thousands of years before Game of Thrones—so we definitely shouldn’t plan on seeing Sansa.

Taylor Swift and Sophie Turner Did an Interview Together—and It Was Glorious


Taylor Swift and Sophie Turner are supremely talented performers in their own rights. They’ve also both dated Joe Jonas, which the world is way more interested in reading about for obvious reasons. To refresh your memory, Turner is currently married to Jonas, while Swift saw him back in 2008. This decade-old relationship popped back up in the zeitgeist last week when Swift revealed that the most rebellious thing she did as a teenager was call Jonas out on The Ellen Show for breaking up with her over a 25-second phone call. “That was too much,” Swift said, ironically, on The Ellen Show. “Yeah, that was too much. I was 18. We laugh about it now. That was mouthy, yeah, teenage stuff there.”

And this week brings yet another reminder that Taylor Swift and Joe Jonas were, at one point, a thing. Both she and Sophie Turner appeared on the U.K. late-night series The Graham Norton Show last night, which is the first time the women have come face to face—that we know of, at least. Don’t get it twisted, though: There wasn’t any drama. Rather, it looks like they had a blast chatting with each other. In fact, after seeing them interact, I’m now fully on board with the idea of Swift and Turner having their own show. Who do I call to make that happen? Kris Jenner?

Check out a short video clip from the taping, below, in which Swift talks about getting into two car accidents on the same day with a Rolling Stone journalist:

And here are some still shots from the show. I’m living for Turner’s bangs and Swift’s sparkly fuchsia minidress.

The “ME!” singer took to Instagram shortly after the show to give Turner—and the other actors who appeared with them—some love.

“Thank you @thegrahamnortonshow for having me and the band!! It airs tonight,” she wrote. “Feeling pretty lucky that I got to be a guest on the same night as @sophiet, Michael Fassbender, @Jessicachastain and @Jamesmcavoyrealdeal- They were all so sweet, now I want to just walk around yelling GO SEE DARK PHOENIX. “

Yup, I really need this friendship to happen now.

Sophie Turner Just Shut Down That Fan Petition to Redo 'Game of Thrones' Season 8


This post contains spoilers for the final season of Game of Thrones. Consider yourself warned.

Game of Thrones may be over, but the debate about how it ended will likely go on forever. That’s what happens when a show and its characters are so beloved. You’ll still easily find pockets of people ready to debate the finales of Seinfeld, The Sopranos, or Lost at any given moment.

But Sophie Turner (a.k.a Sansa Stark), for one, is not here for the backlash, most specifically the petition started by fans who want to completely redo the show’s eighth and final season. But she kind of expected the divided reaction.

“Honestly, I’m not surprised. People always have an idea in their heads of how they want a show to finish, and so when it doesn’t go to their liking, they start to speak up about it and rebel,” she told the New York Times. “The thing about Game of Thrones that’s always been amazing is the fact that there’s always been crazy twists and turns, right from Season 1 with Ned’s beheading. So Daenerys becoming something of the Mad Queen — it shouldn’t be such a negative thing for fans. It’s a shock for sure, but I think it’s just because it hasn’t gone their way.”

HBO

But feeling that way and demanding the show be changed, well that’s a different story. “All of these petitions and things like that — I think it’s disrespectful to the crew, and the writers, and the filmmakers who have worked tirelessly over 10 years, and for 11 months shooting the last season,” she continued. “Like 50-something night shoots. So many people worked so, so hard on it, and for people to just rubbish it because it’s not what they want to see is just disrespectful.”

Turner also weighed in on that controversial scene where Sansa appeared to be crediting her abusers with making her the woman she became. “I obviously think that’s not a message to spread. But I don’t think that was the intention,” she said. “It was that she was strong in spite of all of the horrific things that she’s gone through, not because of them. She’s had resilience since the very beginning, and despite all of these awful things that happened to her, she’s kept that resilience. Sansa to the core is resilient and brave and strong, and that had nothing to do with her abusers.”

The Queen in the North has spoken—and that’s the tea.
