Kit Harington is moving on from "Game of Thrones". The 28-year-old actor, whose character was recently killed off in the shocking season finale of the HBO series, replaces Robert Pattinson in upcoming movie "Brimstone".

Kit is joining Guy Pearce and Dakota Fanning in the thriller written and directed by Martin Koolhover ("Winter in Wartime"). Kit's "Game of Thrones" co-star Carice van Houten also joins the cast along with Paul Anderson ("Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows"), Jack Roth ("The Great Train Robbery") and Carla Juri ("Wetlands").

Principal photography has just started and the film will shoot on location in Romania, Spain and Germany.

Kit will play "an outlaw who has a crucial role in the tale of retribution" while Dakota will star as Liz, "a heroine on the run from her past and chased by the evil Preacher (Guy)." Mia Wasikowska was originally cast on Dakota's character.

Kit will next be seen in upcoming HBO tennis mockumentary "7 Days in Hell" alongside Adam Samberg. Meanwhile, Robert, who has two upcoming films "Life" and "Queen of the Desert" released later this year, will be working on his next movies "The Lost City of Z" and "The Trap".
