The Game of rones Cast Gs Big-Screen

With Westeros on our minds, heres where you can find the GoT cast at the movies this year.

With this weeks third-season premiere of HBOs Game of Thrones, enthusiasm for the Lannisters and Starks and Baratheons and all the others is at a fever pitch. With the show in such high demand, so is its cast, and a good many GoT cast members will be showing up in 2013 movies as a result. Heres a quick guide.

Peter Dinklage

The Emmy-winning actor behind Tyrion Lannister is going to have a busy year ahead of him, and thats before he joins the mutants onscreen for X-Men: Days of Future Past. Hell join Mila Kunis, Robin Williams, and Melissa Leo for The Angriest Man in Brooklyn, about a man on the last day of his life. Hell also be in Justin Longs screenwriting debut, A Case of You, which premieres at the Tribeca Film Festival later this month (more on A Case of You HERE).

Lena Headey

As power broker Cersei Lannister, Headey is no stranger to medieval struggle, which should mean shell slip quite easily back into her role as Gerard Butlers wife in 300: Rise of an Empire. Shell also co-star with Ethan Hawke in the futuristic thriller The Purge. Due in theaters at the end of May, Purge boasts perhaps the greatest plot synopsis of all:

Given the countrys overcrowded prisons, the U.S. government begins to allow 12-hour periods of time in which all illegal activity is legal. During one of these free-for-alls, a family must protect themselves from a home invasion.

Emilia Clarke

Currently, the actress behind exiled dragon-monger Daenerys Targaryen is on Broadway as Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffanys. Later this year, however, shell join Jude Law for the crime dramady Dom Hemmingway.

Kit Harington

While Jon Snow cools his heels north of the Wall, Harington is gearing up for his first major leading role on the big screen, in Paul W.S. Andersons Pompeii. Thats not due out until 2014, though. In the meantime, hell appear in the 18th-century fantasy adventure The Seventh Son, alongside Jeff Bridges, Julianne Moore, and Ben Barnes.

Natalie Dormer

If Margaery Tyrell isnt your absolute favorite Game of Thrones character, youre not paying attention. Natalie Dormers career is getting quite the springboard these days. Shes in the upcoming Ron Howard auto-racing film Rush, alongside Daniel Bruhl, Chris Hemsworth, and Olivia Wild. Shes also in the Cormac McCarthy-scripted, Ridley Scott-directed The Counselor, playing "The Blond" alongside an all-star cast including Michael Fassbender, Brad Pitt, Javier Bardem, Cameron Diaz, and Penelope Cruz. Both films hit American screens in the fall, with Rush premiering in September and The Counselor on November 15th.

Carice Van Houten

November 15th will be quite the test of loyalties for GoT fans, as both Dormer and Van Houten are debuting major films. Thats when the actress behind red-haired enchantress Melisandre will return to the very contemporary realm for The Fifth Estate, director Bill Condons film about WikiLeaks and Julian Assange.

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau

You wont have to wait quite as long to see Kingslayer Jamie Lannister on your movie screen. After joining Jessica Chastain this past winter for Mama, he will co-star in the Tom Cruise blockbuster Oblivion, in theaters this month.



Ciaran Hinds

Having just debuted as the King Beyond the Wall, Mance Rayder, on Game of Thrones, Hinds will be on movie screens in both halves of the The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby movies, with Jessica Chastain and James McAvoy. He will also be in the international legal thriller Closed Circuit, alongside Eric Bana and Rebecca Hall.
