Jon Snow comes down from the wall to play a British Spy in Spooks movie.
Jon Snow battled wildings and White Walkers, sparred with Imps over his bastardliness and his father over the Stark name. Kit Harrington is going to make the long climb down the big wall to fill James Bond’s shoes. Hopefully there’s a phone in them.
It was just leaked that a new Spooks movie is filming with Game of Thrones’ star Kit Harington joining the cast. The movie will continue the story of the popular British spy series Spooks, which we called MI-5 here in the states. The series ended in 2011. Spooks ran for ten seasons.
The big screen continuation will be called Spooks: The Greater Good. According to reports, it is already in production.
Kit Harington, who also erupted in the film Pompeii, and Jennifer Ehle, who played in Robocop and Zero Dark Thirty, will join Peter Firth who returns as Sir Harry Pearce, the big guy at MI-5’s “Section D” counter-terrorism unit. Harington plays Will Crombie, who is probably the son of the now dead MI-5 spy Bill Crombie.
Spooks: The Greater Good is being directed by Bharat Nalluri, who helmed some episodes of the series and also made Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day and the pilot for The 100.
