Sophie Turner and Maisie Williams Have an Idea For a Movie
Sophie Turner and Maisie Williams spent eight seasons together during their run on Game of Thrones, and, naturally, developed a close relationship. Now that their time on the HBO series is over, the two friends feel inspired to create a movie inspired by their friendship.
“My best friend Maisie, she and I have a very intense friendship, a friendship that I haven’t had with any of my other girlfriends before,” Turner told Jessica Chastain in a video for Vogue Paris. “We felt like we wanted to write a movie about a friendship where it’s kind of like you’re soulmates, but you’re friends and it’s like this beautiful connection but it can also be quite destructive.”
While discussing her career, Turner also shared that she hopes to go beyond acting one day.
“As an actor, you can only have so much creative control,” she said. “I want to be able to have full creative control and create my own vision and that’s something I’m quite passionate about.”
While Turner doesn’t have any projects in the pipeline that she’s writing or directing, she’s working on it, telling Chastain that she’s purchased a book on screenwriting “to teach myself.” When she expressed concern over her ability to write well, saying she doesn’t feel “talented enough,” Chastain offered her support telling her, “You are talented enough!”
For now, Turner is sticking to acting, and she’s not doing too bad at it. She and Chastain are starring in the most recent X-Men film Dark Phoenix.
