EXCLUSIVE: She’s still got a final season of Game of Thrones to come, but Lena Headey is moving on. She has been set to co-star in Gunpowder Milkshake, the action thriller that Aharon Keshales & Navot Papushado will direct for Studiocanal and The Picture Company. Headey joins Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle‘s Karen Gillan, who was set to star earlier this year.
Pic was a hot title as AFM last fall that sold around the world and begins production this spring in Berlin. The Big Bad Wolves team of Keshales & Papushado wrote the script along with Ehud Lavski.
