Life has been booked and busy for Sophie Turner. Since her days as Sansa Stark on Game of Thrones ended back in 2019, the actor has gone on to star in the popular X-Men franchise, as well as a recurring role on the Quibi series Survive. This past summer, she also took a break from set life when she and husband Joe Jonas welcomed their first baby girl together. Now, Turner is ready to get back to work again. And where better to start than serving on a new Louis Vuitton campaign highlighting its Tambour Street Diver timepiece?

Having worn many of Nicolas Ghesquière’s designs on the red carpets over the years, Turner says she’s always been a big fan of Louis Vuitton. “The way that I dress is always aligned with the way Nicolas designs,” says Turner, adding that she loves how he juxtaposes “strength and femininity.” She says modeling the label’s new watch, which is unisex and water resistant, is perfect timing for her, given she’s recently gotten into collecting timepieces. “My husband [Joe] is into watches, so he leads the way and tells me which watches are cool and which ones aren’t,” Turner says. So far, she’s amassed around six styles, but she says the Tambour Street Diver is one of her favorites yet. “It’s big and it’s chunky, which I like,” she says. “I’ve always liked more masculine watches.”

Playing with watches and accessories isn’t the only thing on Turner’s mind this spring. Admitting that she’s spent much of the pandemic in “sweats and baggy clothes,” Turner shares that she’s now experimenting with new looks, and trying to find her fashion identity as a mom. “I’m excited about embracing fashion again; I’ve been dressing up for myself,” says Turner. “It’s actually really annoying though, because just as I’ve had a baby, everyone all of a sudden wants to wear low-rise jeans. It’s kind of offensive!” What will she be wearing? She has her eyes on the baggy jean trend. “Because I’m a mom, I’m desperate to be cool now. So I’m trying to go with baggy tops and baggy jeans,” she says. “I’m definitely excited to be putting my heels on, and doing my hair and makeup.”

Electric Entertainment, the LA-based production, distribution and post-production company, has acquired North American rights to crime-thriller Heavy, starring Sophie Turner (Game of Thrones) and Daniel Zovatto (Penny Dreadful: City of Angels)

The feature centers on a couple living it up in the high-end drug scene of New York City. The TVOD release is due to rollout from February 9, 2021.

Directed by Jouri Smit and based on a screenplay by Seth Miller, the romantic crime-thriller sees Zovatto play Seven ‘Sev’ Max, a high-end drug dealer living in New York City. He has his game perfected: trust-fund clients, model parties, and crazed drug-fueled escapades. But troubled by his painful past and riddled with vices, he constantly tries to find comfort in all the wrong places. Sev realizes too late that his key to true happiness has been right in front of him all this time; his equally broken girlfriend and true love Maddie (Turner).

Pic is produced by David Atrakchi (Frank & Lola), Jouri Smit (War To Be Her), Jay Van Hoy (The Lighthouse), Dillon D. Jordan of PaperChase Films (Skin), Zachery Ty Bryan of Lost Lane Entertainment (Skin), Jonathan Bronfman (The Witch), and Gael Cabouat and Boris Mendza (My Old Lady).

Electric Entertainment CEO Dean Devlin commented: “This film is a great addition to our library of thrilling, edgy and intriguing independent films. Sophie Turner fans will enjoy her riveting performance — a very stark contrast to her prior characters, such as Sansa in Game of Thrones.” [Source]

Quibi is giving a glimpse of Joe Jonas’ travel series Cup of Joe.

The short-form streaming service shared a trailer for the show Monday featuring Jonas, a singer for the Jonas Brothers and DNCE.

The preview shows Jonas, 30, visit different cities with celebrity guests, including his wife, actress Sophie Turner, actress Tina Fey and actors Matthew McConaughey and David Hasselhoff.

Cup of Joe was filmed prior to the Jonas Brothers’ Happiness Begins tour. The Jonas Brothers also consists of Jonas’ brothers Kevin Jonas and Nick Jonas.

“I’ve traveled the world with my brothers, playing in every major city, but I’ve never had the time to explore any of them,” Jonas says in the trailer.

Quibi released the first three episodes of Cup of Joe on Monday.

Here, everything you need to know about the “movie in chapters” and the new app it’s streaming on.

Great news for Game of Thrones fans: Sophie Turner will be returning to our screens on April 6 thanks to a new streaming app called Quibi. Although there hasn’t been a lot of information released about the Survive “movie in chapters”—Quibi’s definition of “big stories told in chapters that are seven to 10 minutes in length”—here’s everything we know about Survive so far.

Quibi is an entertainment platform designed specifically for your phone (ahem, people who watch Netflix on the subway, this is for you) with content created by Hollywood stars. Everyone from Chrissy Teigen to Chance the Rapper will have content streaming on it. On April 6, the app will launch 50 shows and plans to launch 175 total in its first year.

According to Quibi, the three categories of content include:

Movies in Chapters: Big stories told in chapters that are 7 to 10 minutes in length.

Unscripted and Docs: This episodic category is food, fashion, travel, animals, cars, builds, music, sports, comedy, talk, variety, documentary and more. All with episodes in 10 minutes or less.

Daily Essentials: Curated daily into 5-6 minute quick bites of news, entertainment and inspiration. Quibi’s Daily Essentials will quickly give viewers everything they need to know—and why it matters.

Turner’s character, Jane, survives a plane crash with one other person (Corey Hawkins) and has to figure out how to stay alive. She’ll face the wilderness, harsh weather conditions, and personal trauma, and she struggled with thoughts of suicide before the crash. It’s based on the novel Survive by Alex Morel.

We last saw Sophie Turner on the small screen as Sansa Stark in Game of Thrones, gloriously wearing her crown after her coronation as Queen of the North. Since then, Turner has made a leap to the big screen, playing Jean Grey in X-Men: Dark Phoenix. And it’s been a huge year in her personal life, as she married Joe Jonas in a surprise Las Vegas ceremony (wearing the coolest bridal jumpsuit). Oh, and the moment she met Queer Eye’s Jonathan Van Ness at the VMAs was one of the most iconic videos of 2019.

It has now been announced that Turner is set to return to our screens in a new series called Survivor.

Survive, which is a novel adaptation, is a romantic thriller which follows two people who are the only survivors of a plane crash in the mountains. Jane (Turner) is a suicidal woman who has just been released from a mental health facility. However, on her way home from the facility, the plane crashes and she finds herself stranded with a stranger called Paul (Corey Hawkins). The show will explore the personal stories of their characters as they try to navigate their way back to civilisation.

Survive will be a ten-part series and will drop on new streaming service, Quibi. This new streaming service will launch in 2020 and is only going to be available on smartphones, which will change the way we consume new “bite size” entertainment.

Speaking about the new role, Turner said: “I couldn’t be more honoured to portray the role of Jane in Survive for Quibi.

“She’s a complex character fighting against the odds to not only save her life, but to also find her own source of strength and courage. I only hope this can impact anyone struggling with self-worth to understand they are braver than they know and to seek the support they need.”

The production team behind HBO’s blockbuster “Game of Thrones” will be given the BAFTA Special Award at this year’s British Academy Television Craft Awards.

Hannah Murray and John Bradley from the hit series will collect the award on behalf of the team. BAFTA said the accolade is recognition of the boundaries that have been pushed across all areas of production in the making of the fantasy epic.

Filming is underway on the eighth and final six-episode season of “Game of Thrones,” which will air in 2019. HBO is working on several potential spinoffs.

The award also recognizes the support that “Game of Thrones” has provided for high-end TV production in the U.K., BAFTA said. The show has filmed across various locations in Northern Ireland and set up a production headquarters at Titanic Studios in Belfast, the Northern Irish capital, which has been a base for the series since the pilot.

Speaking on behalf of the production team, executive producers D.B. Weiss and David Benioff said in a statement: “Many, many people work insanely hard to create any film or television show. They are creators every bit as much as actors, writers, producers or directors, and deserve to be recognized as such.”

“The craft behind what is one of the most popular dramas of our time is nothing short of incredible, from the breath-taking location shots to the intricately designed costumes and set pieces, and not forgetting the level of detail from the makeup and prosthetics team, to name a few,” added Krishnendu Majumdar, chair of BAFTA’s television committee. “Huge congratulations to everyone involved.”

The BAFTA Craft Awards take place on April 22 in London. They will be live streamed on YouTube and Twitter. [Source]

We have a feeling Sophie Turner might be on a mission to slowly but surely break our hearts into teeny tiny pieces at the moment.

If it’s not her confirmation that season eight of Game of Thrones won’t air until 2019, it’s the actress’ recent revelation of what exactly happened when the show’s famous cast and crew joined together for the final read-through of the hit series.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the star – who plays Sansa Stark in GOT – revealed: ‘At the end of the very last script, they read aloud, “End of Game of Thrones”.’

‘As soon as they read that out, pretty much everyone burst into tears,’ she explained.

‘There was a standing ovation for [showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss]. We were all clapping and cheering. It was amazing.’

Describing the moment as a ‘shock to the system’, the newly-engaged Brit said: ‘We actually realised, reading that “end of Game of Thrones line” [at the end of the table read], that that was it. When you’re in it, you don’t really see an end point.

‘It’s just an ongoing thing you’re living with. It was a real shock. It was really sad, but there was an immense amount of pride, too.’

Turner’s description of the final cast reading mirrors that of her co-star and onscreen brother Kit Harington’s reaction to the end of the series.

In an appearance on The One Show earlier this year, the 30-year-old – who was recently spotted selling pine trees in Scotland – admitted he was reduced to tears.

‘We had the read-through last week, in fact, so I know everything now,’ he said.

‘I cried at the end! It wasn’t anything particular that happens. You have to remember, I’ve done eight years of it. I think, no-one really cares about it more than us.’

Game of Thrones stars Maisie Williams and Sophie Turner are teaming up to take the wheel and sing songs in an upcoming episode of Carpool Karaoke: The Series. The duo shared the news on Sunday via a video posted on the show’s Twitter page.

The actresses were on hand at SXSW in Austin, Texas to make the announcement that they were shooting an episode for Apple Music’s series.

Based on the hit Late Late Show segment, the upcoming series will feature 16 celebrity pairings riding along in a car together as they sing tunes from their personal playlists. While James Corden won’t be the driver for all the adventures, the stars will drive around and surprise fans who don’t expect to see them belting out tunes one lane over. Additional guests include Michael Strahan, Jeff Gordon, John Cena, Shaquille O’Neal and many more.

Produced by CBS Television Studios and Fulwell 73, Corden and Ben Winston serve as co-creators and executive producers along with executive producer and showrunner Eric Pankowski.

Williams and Turner also took part in the Game of Thrones panel on Sunday, which they moderated. During the discussion showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss announced that Season 8 of the hit HBO series will only consist of six episodes and that Ed Sheeran will have a guest role in the upcoming season.

After a few months of speculation, HBO has confirmed it: Season 8 of Game of Thrones will be the series’ final season.

Casey Bloys, HBO’s new programming president, confirmed it Saturday at the Television Critics Association summer tour to members of the press. Speaking with the press, Bloys revealed it has been the plan for a while:

“Yes, I think [the showrunners, D.B. Weiss and David Benioff] have a very specific plan about the number of seasons they want to do. If I could get them to do more, I would take 10 seasons but we want to take their lead with what they could do and what the best version of the show is.”

However, Bloys left the door open about the possibility of a potential spinoff when the question was raised:

“We’ve talked about it. It’s not something I’m opposed to but it has to make sense creatively. I’m not sure the guys can wrap their heads around it when they are about to start production. We’re open to it; the guys aren’t opposed to it but there’s no concrete plans right now.”
