Harry Lloyd, best known for playing Viserys Targaryen in season one of Game of Thrones, has been cast in director Nae Caranfil’s Closer to the Moon. Lloyd joins Vera Farmiga and Mark Strong in the period drama set to begin filming this fall, reports Deadline.
Closer to the Moon takes place in Bucharest in 1959 and follows a group of Jewish former anti-Nazi revolutionaries. After being arrested for robbing a bank and sentenced to death, they’re forced to reenact the robbery for a propaganda film. Lloyd will play the propaganda film’s cameraman who falls in love with Farmiga’s character. Strong plays one of the men sentenced to die and the father of Farmiga’s child.
No spoilers here for those who haven’t seen the first season of Game of Thrones, but let’s just say Lloyd’s character was involved in one of the most memorable scenes of the entire season.
27 year old Lloyd will next be seen playing the young Denis Thatcher in The Iron Lady starring Meryl Streep as former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.
