Brimstone trailer exclusive: Kit Harington is worlds away from Game of Thrones in new Western thriller

Dakota Fanning and Guy Pearce head up new film from Dutch filmmaker Martin Koolhoven

The exclusive first UK trailer for western thriller Brimstone starring Dakota Fanning, Guy Pearce and Kit Harington has been released.

Written and directed by Martin Koolhoven, the film - told in four chapters - follows a young woman named Liz (Fanning) who is thrust into an epic quest for survival as she becomes hunted by a vengeful Preacher (Pearce). Instead of succumbing to his depravity, however, Liz responds with astonishing bravery to claim the better life she and her daughter deserve.

Many are touting the Brimstone as a tale of powerful womanhood with the performance of Fanning - the former child star of War of the Worlds and Steven Spielberg TV series Taken - being touted as the film's highlight.

The film, which premiered at the 2016 Venice Film Festival, is also notable for starring not one but two alumni of HBO series Game of Thrones: Jon Snow actor Kit Harington and Carice van Houten who plays the Red Woman, Melisandre.

Brimstone arrives in cinemas on 29 September courtesy of Thunderbird Releasing.
