Sophie Turner has found her newest project. The former Game of Thrones actress is joining the cast of Jessie Barr's upcoming thriller Come As You Are.

Meanwhile, the movie's script will be penned by Oscar nominee Zach Baylin, who earned an Academy Award nod for King Richard, which won Will Smith his best actor Oscar. That was Baylin's first screenplay credit, but he has written Creed III and The Crow, starring Bill Skarsgård, both of which are coming out in the next couple of years.

Turner joins a cast including Hero Fiennes Tiffin and Taylor John Smith. Fiennes Tiffin played the young version of Voldemort in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, while his uncle Ralph Fiennes played Voldemort. Fiennes Tiffin has also earned popularity for his starring role in the After film series. Smith, meanwhile, has starred in a slew of movies including You Get Me, Hunter Killer and currently Where the Crawdads Sing, where he plays Daisy Edgar-Jones' love interest.

Turner's most recent projects were the movies Broken Soldier and Survive, which both came out this year. She also starred in the HBO Max TV series The Staircase opposite Colin Firth and Toni Collette, which followed a crime novelist accused of killing his wife and the subsequent 16-year judicial battle.

Turner rose to fame playing Sansa Stark in Game of Thrones across the show's eight seasons. She earned an Emmy nod for her performance as the eldest Stark sister in 2019. Meanwhile, Turner also starred as Jean Grey in several X-Men movies.

Game of Thrones seasons 1-8 are available on DVD and Blu-ray. Spin-off House of the Dragon will premiere on August 21, 2022 in the UK.
