Game of Thrones Star Announced as Paige’s Mom in New Biopic

The recently announced film about Paige and her family already seemed to be a big deal, and now it’s getting some serious star power.

Lena Headey, best known as Game of Thrones‘ Cersei Lannister, is on tap to play Paige’s mom, Julia Hamer-Bevis–also known by the ring name Sweet Saraya. Additionally, Shaun of the Dead star Nick Frost is set to play Paige’s dad, Patrick Bevis–aka “Rowdy” Ricky Knight.

That’s in addition to the previously announced stars, Florence Pugh and Jack Lowden, who’ll be playing Paige and her brother, Zak Zodiac.

The film, as previously reported, is being headed up by the Dwayne Johnson’s production company in association with WWE Studios, and will feature a cameo from the Rock himself. British comedy mastermind Stephen Merchant is set to write and direct.

Rock made the casting announcement himself via a recent Instagram post.

This is some pretty big star power, especially considering the association with WWE Studios, which hasn’t made a truly major film in the better part of a decade. It seems this production will be one to keep an eye on.
