![]() ![]() What was the thing that impressed you most about working with him? I spoke to the Knights of the Zodiac director Tomek Baginski a few years ago for The Witcher – he has a real eye for visual flair. I worked with her on, had a telephone conversation and never saw her on that film either! So it was nice to actually have scenes with her and thrash it out in the later scenes in the movie. ![]() On Bond, we saw each other on set, but we didn’t really have any scenes together. It’s the first time me and Famke really had any scenes together. I know you have appeared in one other film since then, but what was it like sharing the set and sharing the screen together again? Was the chemistry stil the same? I’m a huge Bond fan, so it was great to see a mini-GoldenEye reunion with Famke Janssen in this. It became more apparent as we went along filming how intricate and how fascinating the themes of the stories were. I tried to incorporate that in my performance. I spoke to the directors and the producers and we explored it a little bit. I think I read a little bit more than that! As I said, I wasn’t that familiar with it. Was it a similar approach here?

Worlds away, then, from the more intimate political intrigue in Winterfell. Plot twist: his daughter is also fated to be the vessel for the reincarnation of the goddess Athena. Based on the hit Saint Seiya manga and anime series, the new action movie blends Greek mythology with fantasy hallmarks, focusing on the story of a man – Bean’s Alman Kido – enlisting warriors to protect his daughter. That’s something Knights of the Zodiac aims to do. Having been a fixture of the high fantasy scene as both Boromir and Ned Stark, it’s clear the British actor knows a thing or two about what it takes to stand out from the pack in what’s becoming an increasingly crowded marketplace. Outside of dying in films, Sean Bean is perhaps best known for his stints in Middle-earth and Westeros. ![]()
