It’s wedding season in Westeros.
Or it is among the Game of Thrones cast members, anyway. Weeks after the news broke that Kit Harington (Jon Snow) and Rose Leslie (Ygritte) were getting married, Sophie Turner (Sansa) announced her engagement to DNCE frontman and former Jonas Brother Joe Jonas in a pair of cryptic Instagram posts.
She said yes! But to whom…?
Oh. Hooray!
Turner and Jonas have been dating since late last year. Congratulations to the both of them. Jonas is certainly a step up from the men Sansa usually finds herself with, by which I mean he is not a violent psychopath…so far as we know. Now there’s just the matter of setting the date. Competing Game of Thrones cast weddings, maybe?
In sadder Sophie Turner-related news, Turner’s dog Zunni — a Mahlek Northern Inuit dog who played Lady in the second episode of Game of Thrones — has reportedly died. After Ned Stark killed Lady in “The Kingsroad,” Turner’s family adopted the dog into their home.
So it’s bitter and sweet at the moment. Not that a new dog can fully replace an old one, but Turner did recently get a puppy who looks like Zunni reincarnated, which is nice:
In conclusion, Sophie Turner’s life is happening. Best wishes.
In other Game of Thrones cast member news, fake father-and-son team Peter Dinklage (Tyrion Lannister) and Charles Dance (Tywin Lannister) are coming together behind the camera to executive produce Quasimodo, a television adaptation of Victor Hugo’s The Hunchback of Notre Dame. They’re developing it for Atrium TV, the brainchild of former Sony exec Howard Stringer and Jeremy Fox, who works for distribution company DRG. Atrium aims to develop high-quality scripted content and then shop it around to its high-profile members, who then decide if they want to acquire and invest.
That’s all to say that we might not see the Tyrion-Tywin team-up project for a while, if at all. But the wheels are turning.
Finally, the Minnesota Vikings invited Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson (the Mountain) to blow a big freaking horn (the Gjallarhorn, to be precise) to kick off yesterday’s game against the Green Bay Packers. Behold:
That happened, everyone.
