Through art and imagination, people usually look for the same objective that science looks for – A reality beyond that we know right now, yet relatable and useful to us. Time and again, scientists and artists have dared to dream the impossible and made it possible. A Song of Ice and Fire, and then Game of Thrones created a world unknown to us with stories that are as messy and complex, even more, if possible, as our lives. But the show is over; the cast has also kept their GoT cloaks aside and moved on to strange, beautiful things. Jonathan Pryce, who played the High Sparrow on the show, is set to star in a new American sci-fi drama series, Tales From The Loop; premiering April 3, 2020, on Amazon (Prime) Video. The trailer is out now, and it’s serenely amazing.
The trailer sets a somber and delightful backdrop through its music and visuals; it seems to look at the enigma of things, earlier out of reach, possible now with the advent of a path-breaking technology, known as The Loop. Jonathan Pryce’s role looks to be that of a scientist/professor. In the trailer, when a kid asks him, “What do you do?”, he answers, “When someone says something is impossible, I prove that it’s possible.”
Further, towards the end, Pryce’s character lays down the theme for us, “Everyone is connected to The Loop, in one way or another”. The shock, the pain, the wonder in everybody’s eyes show the realization of a dream, far outstretching belief and vulnerability. Another character’s voice speaks for it; “One day, many years from now, you’ll wonder if this really happened, or if it was a dream!” So, the machine, The Loop is overlooking everything, and it’s scary, it’s new.
The series is inspired by the paintings from the narrative art book of the same name by Simon Stålenhag, a Swedish artist and designer whose specialty is digital futuristic images. Amazon Prime video’s official description says the series “explores the mind-bending adventures of the people who live above the Loop; a machine built to unlock and explore the mysteries of the universe – making things previously relegated to science fiction, possible”. Science fiction is a genre with infinite possibilities. And with artificial intelligence slowly creeping into our lives, these might not be farfetched from reality.
Jonathan Pryce’s acting prowess is well known; after Game of Thrones, he gave an excellent performance in The Two Popes, for which he was nominated for Best Actor at the Oscars 2020. Hence, after this promising trailer, we look forward to his tales from Tales from the loop. What about you? Tell us your thoughts in the comments section.
Watching our favorite stars play out a radically different character has always been a matter of interest. One of the most likable characters on our favorite show Game of Thrones was Jon Snow, played by Kit Harington. Unlike Jon, Kit seems to know something in Criminals season 2 trailer.
Kit plays the role of a smug estate agent, who is accused of rape. He gets frustrated about being questioned about the same in the trailer. The show’s setting gives you chills as he establishes himself as a self-entitled rich guy who gets what he wants. His angry outbursts only make it worse for him. But is he guilty?
Harington’s new character is a far cry from his bumbling, humble, and heroic character of Jon Snow. Jon Snow was a life-changing role for Kit (Check out his farewell speech for Game of Thrones), but the new edgy role will solidify his versatility. Not to mention his new haircut for the show, sure to gather some attention.
The Netflix series turned in heads after the introduction of its cast for season two. Other than Game of Thrones star Kit Harington, the show has cast 3 more extremely talented artists. Kunal Nayyar from The Big Bang Theory, Sophie Okonedo, an Oscar nominee, and Sharon Horgan from the comedy Catastrophe will also be seen in the series.
From not knowing anything as Jon Snow, to a cunning, perverted estate agent, Kit Harington has come a long way. Being a fan favorite on one of the biggest TV shows ever made, his job will not be easy as a different character. We can be sure he can pull it off with his amazing acting skills.

Some actors in Hollywood are famous for their macho style. Jason Momoa has made a name for himself in that category, in each of his roles. Be it Khal Drogo of Game of Thrones, or Arthur Curry of Aquaman, the actor reeks of badassery. He has done it yet again as Duncan Idaho in the latest movie adaptation of the sci-fi novel Dune.
Jason Momoa sports an unbearded look as Duncan Idaho in the Dune movie trailer. He looks menacing even without his beard. His character, Duncan, is a total badass in House Atreides. Jason compared his character to Han Solo of Star Wars in an interview with Ellen DeGeneres.
Momoa received widespread praise for his work as Khal Drogo in Game of Thrones. His character as a powerful warlord, who was the leader of a huge Dothraki army created an impactful image in the audience’s mind. It was so impressive people used to get confused if he knew English at all! Jason played the role for 10 episodes in season 1.
Dune is an award-winning novel written by author Frank Herbert in 1965. Dune was first adapted for the big screen by David Lynch in 1984. It was a success on the box-office and the film is still revered by its fans. The new adaptation of the movie holds great promise and the fans are expecting it to be much better than the previous version.
The director of the new Dune movie is Denis Villeneuve. The movie is set to release on 18th December 2020. It is predicted to be one of the major films of this year. The presence of Jason Momoa makes it all the more exciting to watch.

Game of Thrones will always have a special place in all our hearts. It is a revered TV series for both fans and the crew alike. There has been a tradition in film industry to provide Easter eggs related to a franchise that has made an impact on pop culture. One such Easter egg was spotted in Maisie Williams’ new action-comedy Two Weeks To Live.
A recent clip of one of the episodes revealed a welcome surprise for the fans of Game of Thrones. In that scene, Maisie Williams, who plays the role of Kim is being attacked by an unknown individual. Maisie retaliates in a way that was reminiscent of her role Arya Stark from Game of Thrones.

Maisie’s character, Kim, attacks back the same way Arya Stark did against the Night King. In Game of Thrones season 8 episode 3, Arya appeared out of nowhere to attack the Night King, played by Vladimir Furdik. The Night King grabs her by the throat, and all hope seems lost. Arya pulls off a surprise move by slipping her dagger to her other hand and stabbing the night king, killing him.
In the TV series Two Weeks To Live, Maisie pulls off a similar stunt. It was a subtle nod to a tribute to her former role. As Kim, she stands back to her attacker by slipping a glass bottle to her other hand, and smashing it on his head.
The scene was definitely a wow moment for her fans. It was also a chance for the actress to relive her time as Arya. What do you think about the show? Tell us in the comments below.
