Kit Harington's career in the gutter?


Barely anyone has bothered checking out this horror movie led by him.

It's crazy how most of the cast of Game of Thrones acquired zero star power from it, one of the biggest shows of all time and within a few years most of them are barely surviving never mind thriving in the industry.

I mean virtually all of the younger actors (20 something or younger) were completely unknown when they were cast. Most built pretty comfortable careers off of GOT but it was very much an ensemble cast. It's not that strange that few would become superstars off of the show but a least a couple of them have had very successful careers outside of the show . Emelia Clarke especially has gone on to have numerous starring roles in major projects. Peter Dinklage just may be the most successful dwarf actor ever since GOT. So yeah, i don't think the "zero star power" thing is accurate.

" starring roles in major projects."

I'm not sure what your definition of a "dud" is but several Emilia Clarke films where she was the female lead have been objective box office successes. Even "Solo" which famously underperformed, still made almost $400 million dollars.
1. Last Christmas
Budget $25–30 million
Box office $123.4 million

2. Terminator Gynesis
Budget $155–158 million
Box office $440.6 million

3. Me Before You
Budget $20 million
Box office $208.3 million

4. Solo: A Star Wars Film
Budget $270.8–300 million
Box office $393.2 million

Who is Kit Harington and what is the "Game of Thrones" of which you speak? Yesterday's news, and probably to be a lot less significant in the streaming afterlife.

Important thing is: This is not a bad film and Harington is good in it.

Harrington is doing stuff. This, which I didn’t know about til now and he’s getting worldwide exposure in the HBO series “Industry” that he’s now a part of so that can’t hurt. He’ll do more stuff, I’m not worried about that. Emilia Clarke was in that nice Christmas movie that I liked a couple of years back with Michelle Yeoh. It’ll be on for sure this holiday season.
