After spending a lot of time in the cold for Game Of Thrones, Kit Harington seems to enjoy finding film projects with a little heat to them. He’s now part of the cast of the new thriller Brimstone, subbing in for Robert Pattinson, who dropped out recently.

Director Martin Koolhoven, who is busy shooting the film now, has had to deal with one other cast change, as Mia Wasikowska left the project and Dakota Fanning took her place. The story sees Fanning as a young woman named Liz trying to escape her past and, more specifically, an evil sort who calls himself Preacher (Guy Pearce). Harington will be an outlaw called Samuel who plays a crucial role in Liz’s escape attempt, while the movie will also make for a mini Thrones reunion, as Carice van Houten is also aboard alongside Paul Anderson (neither Thomas nor W.S.), Jack Roth and Carla Juri.

Harington is also attached to The Death And Life Of John F. Donovan, though that is still in development. He’s also part of the cast for HBO’s comedy tennis TV movie 7 Days In Hell, which will arrive on the cable channel on July 11 and should be on Sky Atlantic over here shortly after that.
