Her time on Game Of Thrones is at an end, but while we wait to see whether a Girl survives winter, Maisie Williams is wasting no time in picking up another job. She'll star in '90s-set thriller The Owners.
Director Julius Berg and co-writer Matthieu Gompel adapted the story from Herrmann and Yves H's comic book. It finds childhood friends Nathan and Terry, broke and on the scrap heap at 20, spurred on by an out-of-town sociopath named Gaz to rob Huggins, the elderly local doctor and his wife. Nathan’s girlfriend Mary (Williams) is dead against the plan but the lads are set – the doctor’s house is isolated, there’s a safe full of cash, no-one will be home – it’s their way out of the world they’ve been born into. But the Huggins family returns early and is quickly subdued. The intruders are disguised, but Dr. Huggins guesses the identity of his captors and reasons with them: stop now, before this goes too far... But it’s too late for that. Desperation leads to violence, the tables are turned and a deadly game of cat and mouse ensues, leaving Mary fighting to save herself from a nightmare she could never have imagined.
Berg will start shooting this spring in an isolated Victorian mansion in Kent, but there's no word on a release date for the film just yet. Work-wise, Thrones has naturally kept Williams busy, but she will be seen in The New Mutants, assuming the X-Men spin-off sees the light of day this year. It's currently still scheduled for a 2 August release.
