“Game of Thrones” actors Lena Headey and Charles Dance are joining forces, again, in a new project.
Deadline reports Headey and Dance have both been cast in the upcoming film adaptation of “Pride And Prejudice And Zombies.”
Dance played the now deceased Tywin Lannister in “Game of Thrones," while Headey is currently portraying his daughter Cersei Lannister in the HBO series.
"Pride And Prejudice And Zombies" also stars Lily James, Sam Riley, Bella Heathcoate, Jack Huston, Douglas Booth, Matt Smith and Suki Waterhouse.
“Screen Gems seems a strong match for this literary mash-up that begins with the tangled relationship between lovers from different social classes in 19th-century England, and is complicated by a full-on outbreak of zombies,” according to Deadline.
Speaking of Headey, “Game of Thrones” season five will be a big one for her character Cersei Lannister. TMZ reported early September the production hit a road block when trying to film an important scene featuring the actress.
“We're told the local film commission will not give producers a permit to shoot the scene because they take their cue from the church -- in this case the Church of St. Nicholas,” TMZ reports. “Sources [say] they can't cut the scene because it's crucial to the story line and it's an iconic moment from the book.”
Without giving too many spoilers away, the scene may involve some nudity, which is why the Church of St. Nicholas wanted to keep the “Game of Thrones” production on the streets of Dubrovik.
“We're told the film commissioners changed their initial ruling upon realizing how much pleasantry ‘Game of Thrones’ doth bring the townspeople. It also brings in a lot of copper pennies,” according to TMZ.
