"That kernel of an idea grew into the plot for What She Left - a ‘whodunnit’ which attempts to untangle the death of a twenty-something woman by piecing together her digital legacy.

The story is told through a series of tweets, Facebook posts, emails, playlists and forum comments, along with more traditional letters and diary entries.

The unusual concept caught the attention of Penguin who bought the book and subsequently sold it in 16 countries worldwide, in a deal that has netted the publisher and author £800,000.

 Emilia Clarke has been lined up to voice protagonist Alice Salmon in the audiobook. Fellow GoT star Charles Dance is providing the voice of Professor Cooke - an ageing anthropology professor fixated on solving the mystery of his former student's death. "

  "What She Left, due to be released in hardback on 23rd April, tells the story of Alice Salmon and what she leaves behind, and is told using Facebook posts, texts, tweets, diary entries, letters and exchanges with friends.

Penguin’s cast for the audiobook includes Clark, who will play Alice Salmon, and Dance, who will play Dr Jeremy Cooke, an academic fixated on piecing together Alice’s existence"

***Doctor Who‘s Jenna Coleman and Game Of Thrones‘  Charles Dance have been set for Me Before you, the Thea Sharrock-directed adaptation of the Jojo Moyes bestseller for MGM and New Line. They join GOT‘s Emilia Clarke and Hunger Games‘ Sam Clafin

The film tells the story of two very different characters: Lou (Clarke), a small town girl caught between dead-end jobs; and Will (Claflin), a high-profile, successful man who becomes wheelchair bound following an accident. Will has decided his life is not worth living until Lou is hired for six months to be his new caretaker. Worlds apart and trapped together by circumstance, the two get off to a rocky start. Lou becomes determined to prove to Will that life is worth living and as they embark on a series of adventures together, each finds their world changing in ways neither of them could begin to imagine.

From an interview with Roel Reine

director of Admiral

If you’re a big Game of Thrones fan, you must have been thrilled when Charles Dance, who plays Tywin Lannister, signed on to be in Admiral.

Of course. He was on my list, and I was like “I don’t know if we will succeed but let’s give it a try.” When he read the script and he said yes I was so excited because he’s such an iconic figure in that series. But he’s also a very iconic actor. He’s the villain in our movie and every time you see him, it’s so cool because he’s so powerful. It works so nicely. So I was really proud that he was part of this movie.

from an interview with Nikolaj-Coster Waldau

Which death affected the cast and crew the most, in terms of someone leaving the show?

The Red Wedding, when Michelle Fairley, Richard Madden and Oona Chaplin died, was tough because we’d all worked together for years. I was really sad when Tywin Lannister was killed last year because Charles Dance is a great guy and played such a great character.

"Playing the role of 'dearly departed' at this premiere it's the Late Tywin Lannister, played by Charles Dance. (I'd mention it as a spoile, but come on... you're not uptodate on Game of Thrones? SHAME ON YOU!)"

about Dinklage

****Departing star Dance, whose Tywin Lannister character joined the list of central figures ditched the confines of history at the end of season four, said it was a “suitably ignominious end” for Tywin, and claimed he’ll miss working with Peter Dinklage (Tyrion Lannister) most. “I’m still in touch with Peter, he is the most wonderful, sweet guy,” Dance said. “And what a monumental talent he is.”

***Speakeasy asked the actors who they personally wished they could resurrect and inject back into the show — and whom their characters would bring back.

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, who plays Jaime Lannister: Tywin Lannister. Charles Dance is just a brilliant person. A great actor. And also I think Jamie, the character? It was his dad. He didn’t want him to die.

Liam Cunningham, who plays Davos Seaworth: You know what, I really liked Joffrey. He was the man that everybody loved to hate. Everybody cheered when he died, but then five minutes later, they went, who are we going to hate now? So he was a fantastic character. He’s kind of missed. And Charles Dance, I loved watching him working, and I just loved that whole, him being the patriarch of the Lannisters and causing trouble and all that. He was a joy, a complete joy.

***Our Prime Minister, David Cameron, said earlier this week that he was a fan of Game of Thrones. Which is great, because, well, it's nice to have one or two things in common with the man running the country. When asked which character he most identifies with, he responded with hesitation: ‘That is an impossible question to answer. I thought Ned Stark was great, I love Sean Bean, I was a big fan of Sharpe.’

So when we got to the world premiere of Game of Thrones, we asked Charles Dance, who plays Tywin Lannister in the show, whether he thinks Cameron would make a good Lannister.

His response? ‘I don’t think he’s brave enough to be a Lannister, darling.’

Dance added that it would be tough to say which character he most related to in real life.

"That is an impossible question to answer," he said. "I thought Ned Stark was great, I love Sean Bean, I was a big fan of Sharpe."

That’s pretty damning, especially when you consider Joffrey Baratheon is technically a Lannister…
