Game of Thrones star John Bradley has gone from Westeros to space for Moonfall, and it turned out to be an eye-opening experience for him.
The new disaster movie sees a mysterious force knock the Moon from its orbit, sending it on a collision course with Earth. The hopes of humanity lie with two former astronauts and a conspiracy theorist (Bradley), who set off on a last-ditch mission into space.
Due to its epic scale and wild ideas, Moonfall required a lot of green screen work for its stars. Talking to Digital Spy, Bradley admitted that whatever he imagined on set wasn’t going to be accurate, so he didn’t really know what it would look like.
“I knew that it wouldn’t come close because I know that Roland [Emmerich] has got a much more fertile imagination than I’ve got. I don’t know what the interior of the Moon would look like if I had to design it, but it was nothing close to what Roland came up with,” he explained.

“We had a lot of green screen and I’ve done green screen before, but it’s always been stuff on Game of Thrones like, ‘Oh you have to imagine thousands of men heading towards you’.
“You can kind of picture what thousands of men would look like in your mind’s eye, but you can’t imagine what the interior of the Moon looks like because nobody has got any reference for it. It was a big imaginative leap and when I saw it, it exceeded even my lofty expectations of it.”
Bradley wasn’t alone in being unsure what the final movie would look like as Patrick Wilson, who plays disgraced astronaut Brian Harper, told Digital Spy that they gave up trying to imagine it.
“They would show us a little previsualisation and it just looks like a bad video game, like somebody didn’t finish the video game. But you can kind of get an idea and then it was like, ‘Yeah it’s this, but it’s cooler’ and you’re like, ‘OK, whatever that means’,” he recalled.
“We had no idea and that was the first time in a long time where, because they’re just making this stuff up, we had no idea so when you see it all together, it was very cool.”
Moonfall is released in cinemas on February 4.
