‘Game of Thrones’ stars Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Kit Harington working in Montreal

Pop Goes The News — Two leading men from Game of Thrones will be in Montréal this summer working on separate projects.

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, who plays Jaime Lannister on the hit HBO series, and Kit Harington, who plays Jon Snow, each start work on movies in mid-July.

Coster-Waldau, who turns 46 on July 27, is starring in the dark comedy Small Crimes and Harington is playing the titular role in The Death of Life of John F. Donovan.

Small Crimes, directed by E.L. Katz, is about an ex-cop who is released from prison after serving six years for attempted murder.

The screenplay was written by Katz and Macon Blair based on the 2008 novel of the same name by Dave Zeltserman.

Small Crimes shoots from July 16 to Aug. 19 in Montréal.

The movie — Dolan’s English-language debut — is a satirical look at the movie business.

Harington, 29, stars along with Jessica Chastain, Natalie Portman, Bella Thorne, Thandie Newton, Susan Sarandon, Kathy Bates, Nicholas Hoult, and Canada’s Taylor Kitsch and Emily Hampshire.
