UPDATED MAY 27, 2019

'Game of Thrones' stars Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime Lannister) and Carice van Houten (the Red Priestess) are already onto their next big project 'Domino'.

The crime thriller looks edgy and dark and follows a cop as he tries to get to the bottom of his partner's murder.

Alsongise the 'Game of Thrones' actors, the film will also star Guy Pearce and will have the stylistic signature of director Brian De Palma. 'Domino' is fast-paced and violent, in classic De Palma style.

 

According to Collider, the filmmaker had some harsh comments about the film and had called it a "horrible" movie set.

'Domino' was finished in 2017 but was kept on the shelf until now.

The film is directed by Brian De Palma, although it may not be one of his favorites, from a script written by Petter Skavlan.

Petter Skavlan has previously worked on 'Kon‑Tiki' (2012) and 'Sophie's World' (1999). It is produced by Michel Schønnemann.

Plot

The film follows a Copenhagen police officer Christian (Nikolaj) who is looking to avenge his partner's murder by a member of the ISIS named Imran.
