\n\tKit Harington<\/a> and Sophie Turner<\/a> are reuniting for the first time since playing siblings on HBO\u2019s \u201cGame of Thrones\u201d together for eight seasons \u2014 but their new movie \u201cThe Dreadful<\/a>\u201d makes for an awkward family reunion.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe two play lovers in Lionsgate\u2019s gothic horror movie, which just released its first trailer. The logline reads: \u201cExperience an unnerving gothic tale of horror reuniting \u2018Game of Thrones\u2019 stars Sophie Turner and Kit Harington and featuring the Academy Award- winning actress Marcia Gay Harden. Set in medieval England, Anne and her domineering mother-in-law Morwen struggle to survive on the outskirts of society. But when a man from Anne\u2019s past returns from war, a curse begins to take shape through a mysterious knight and threatens to destroy them all.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tHarington and Turner both spoke about the strangeness of playing \u201cGame of Thrones\u201d siblings Jon Snow and Sansa Stark, then having to co-star as lovers in their first film together.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cShe was one that sent that movie to me and somehow didn\u2019t see what I saw in it,\u201d Kit previously\u00a0told E! News<\/a>.\u00a0\u201cI was like, \u2018These guys, these are lovers, right?\u2019 I felt very odd about that. But it was a good chance to be with her again and work together\u2026 It was slightly embarrassing, having to get on an apple box to kiss her because she\u2019s about a foot taller than me. But other than that, my dignity was pretty intact.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHe added, \u201cWhat was lovely is that we got on set together and our friendship completely ignited again. It felt like being with family. It really did.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWhile on \u201cLate Night With Seth Meyers,\u201d Turner said, \u201cSo, I sent the script to Kit, and he kind of sent me a message back going like, \u2018Yeah, I\u2019d love to, but this is going to be really fucking weird, Soph.\u2019 And I was like, \u2018What is he talking about?\u2019 Then I was\u00a0reading\u00a0[the script] and it\u2019s like, \u2018Kiss, kiss, sex, kiss, sex\u2026\u2019 And then I\u2019m like, \u2018Oh, shoot, that\u2019s my brother.\u2019 We put it out of our minds, and then we get on set and it\u2019s the first kissing scene, and we are both retching. Like, really, it is vile. It was the worst.\u201d<\/p>\n
