“Hi!! Some backstory: a few months ago, while I was on tour, Lena Headey reached out about making a video for Miracle. Maisie Williams quickly joined (they had both met on the set of Game of Thrones),” Madeon explains in the video’s comments section on YouTube.

“Her vision was so clear, it was very different from the way I’ve illustrated the universe of ‘Good Faith’ up to that point but that’s what made the idea so fascinating, it’s a different interpretation. They focused on the drama of the music and made a beautiful video. I’m very honored that my music inspired this!”

The opening scene of Maisie‘s The New Mutants is also now live – watch it right here!

Rita Ora, Lena Headey, and Michael Caine are teaming up for the new movie Twist!

The 28-year-old “Ritual” singer, the 46-year-old Game of Thrones actress, and the 86-year-old The Dark Knight Rises actor have all signed on for the UK film, a contemporary update of the Charles Dickens classic “Oliver Twist,” Deadline reports.

Little Britain‘s David Walliams, Legends of Tomorrow‘s Franz Drameh, and Daybreak‘s Sophie Simnett will also star, along with with newcomer Raff Law (son of Jude Law) in the title role.

Here’s the synopsis: “Oliver is reinvented as a streetwise artist living on the streets of day London. A chance encounter with a gang of grifters led by the charismatic Dodge (Rita Ora) sees Twist (Law) caught up in a high stakes heist to steal a priceless painting for master thief, Fagin (Caine), and his psychopathic business partner, Sikes (Headey).”

Franz will play Batesey, Sophie will play Red, and David will play Losberne. Martin Owen will direct.

Production begins this autumn.

Twist will be available on Comcast-owned Euro broadcaster Sky’s UK movie platform Sky Cinema. That same day, there will be a limited theatrical release in the market via Altitude.

Michael Caine said, “Fagin is such an infamous character, it’s going to be great fun playing him. I’m really looking forward to working with Lena, Raff and the rest of the cast in London when we start shooting.”

Lena Headey added, “I couldn’t be more excited to take on the iconic character of Sikes from ‘Oliver Twist.’ Flipping roles without apology or character softening is a brilliant way to breathe new life into established materials and bring it to new audiences.”

Raff chimed in, “I’m excited to play such a well-loved literary character, and I’m looking forward to working with Martin Owen to bring to life his new take on the character in modern-day London.”

Lena Headey is taking on a new role!

The 45-year-old Game of Thrones actress will star in the hour-long dramedy Rita, Showtime announced on Thursday (June 27).

Christian Torpe is writing the pilot, based on his award-winning original Danish series.

Lena will play the title character, a “headstrong, unconventional teacher and single mother who takes on every kind of authority – as well as her family – in a messy and unfiltered way.”

“Rita is a deliciously subversive character who will make you laugh and cry as she continuously challenges the hypocrisy around her. It goes without saying that Lena Headey is a force, whose essence is ideal to take on this wonderfully dynamic lead role,” said Showtime exec Jana Winograde.

WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD!

Lena Headey is opening up about her character’s demise on Game of Thrones.

During a recent interview, the 45-year-old actress, who played Cersei Lannister, admitted that she was “wanted a better death” for her character.

“I invested as a viewer and I have my favorite characters. And I’ve got a few of my own gripes,” Lena told The Guardian. “But I haven’t sat down drunkly with [showrunners] David [Benioff] and Dan [Weiss] yet…I will say I wanted a better death.”

In the episode before the series finale, Cersei and her brother-lover Jaime Lannister (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) were crushed to death underneath the Red Keep in King’s Landing.

“Obviously you dream of your death. You could go in any way on that show. So I was kind of gutted,” she added. “But I just think they couldn’t have pleased everyone. No matter what they did, I think there was going to be some big comedown from the climb.”
