The 36-year-old actress is best known for playing Daenerys Targaryen in ‘Game of Thrones’ – but Emilia can’t bring herself to watch the prequel series. She said: “It’s too weird.

Speaking to Variety, she explained: “It’s kind of like someone saying, ‘You want to go to this school reunion that’s not your year? Want to go to that school reunion?’ That’s how it feels.

Idris Elba plans for another man to take over Luther role ‘like in James Bond’
Idris has given plans to play James Bond the Elba – but he won’t be handing in his licence to thrill. The 50-year-old star plans to shake and stir fans as London detective DCI John Luther rather than as 007.

Broker movie review: The film is leavened by Hirokazu Koreeda’s light touch
How a child leaves almost no one untouched lies at the heart of this deeply humane story about people battling different kinds of loneliness, all on their own. Directed by Japanese director Hirokazu Koreeda (Shoplifters), it features two men who run a side business selling abandoned children to parents who desperately want one; a young mother who leaves her newborn and is committedly dispassionate towards him; two women cops trailing them who want to crack the case for a leg-up professionally; and a woman coming to terms with her husband’s infidelity. They all find themselves connected with each other through Woo-sung. The infant is left by his mother So-young (Ji-eun Lee) outside a church in the baby boxes put up for women who want to similarly abandon kids. Watched by the two cops (the elder, resigned one played by Bae Doona; the younger, more flexible one by Lee Joo-young), a…
