Sophie Turner (opens in new tab) recently revealed that she and her former Game of Thrones (opens in new tab) costar/real-life BFF Maisie Williams want to write a movie about 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," Sophie explained during an interview with
Vogue Paris alongside her Dark Phoenix (opens in new tab) costar Jessica Chastain (opens in new tab). "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."
Don't get too excited just yet; Sophie and Maisie (opens in new tab) have not started writing said movie just yet. But Sophie did reveal that she bought a screenwriting book, which is the first step towards this movie becoming a reality.
"I bought a screenplay writing book!" Sophie said. "To teach myself. Because I can’t write well, but I want to. But I’m just not talented enough."
