Game of Thrones vet Nathalie Emmanuel will take on Dracula in The Bride

Nathalie Emmanuel (Missandei) has had a good run since the end of Game of Thrones, scoring a role in the spectacularly successful Fast & Furious franchise as well as headlining her own romantic comedy series on Hulu, Four Weddings and a Funeral. Per SyFy Wire, her latest project is The Bride, a modern-day spin on Dracula that sees a woman (presumably Emmanuel) become involved with a mysterious man who I’m going to assume is Dracula. He’ll be played by Garrett Hedlund. I can see it:

There’s no release date yet, but good on Emmanuel for landing the lead in a movie. The Bride will be directed by Jessica M. Thompson.

Trystane Martell actor plays another prince, the Mountain becomes a hill

And Emmanuel isn’t the only Game of Thrones alum getting new gigs. Digital Spy reports that Toby Sebastian, who played the short-lived Dornish prince Trystane Martell, has joined the cast of Epic, a new fantasy show from the same team that brought us Once Upon A Time.

Like Once Upon a TimeEpic is a show “that reinvents fairy tales for a new audience.” Sebastian will play Philippe, a traditional storybook prince who questions his assumptions about his life when he comes to an important crossroads. There’s no release date for Epic yet but the plan is for it to air on ABC.

Finally, I leave you with his image of Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson (the Mountain) before and after he lost 100 pounds, I imagine for some kind strongman-weightlifting training regimen.

I’ve gotta steal the headline from Cinema Blend here: he now looks more like a large hill.
