Far from the world of fantasy, new pictures released this week show Game Of Thrones actor Kit Harington taking on a completely different role.
With production for Spooks: The Greater Good - a film that will be a spin-off from the hit BBC spy drama - in the works, a picture of Kit, who is best known for playing the role of Jon Snow in Game Of Thrones, filming has been released.
The actor will be seen taking on the role of Will Crombie, the trainee MI5 spy who is taken under the wing of Peter Firth's Harry Pearce and is mentored by him.

Speaking about the film to Empire Magazine, the director Bharat Nalluri said:
"The canvas is huge on this. We're running from Moscow to Berlin to London. It's a story of the old world and new world."
The director went on to add: "When we closed the show in 2011, thinking we'd mined everything. But then it kick-started again. You've got Julian Assange hanging out in the Ecuadorian embassy, Chelsea Manning, guys grinding computer discs in The Guardian's basement, home-grown Jihadists, email hacking, spying on the Germans, Syria... it's an unbelievable stew."
It is thought that the film will feature the search of Pearce who is seen jumping into the Thames when he takes the wrap for the escape of Adam Qasim - a terrorist.
Filming will take place in London, Pinewood Studios, Berlin and Moscow.
