Anderson, The Hollywood Reporter said. Game of Thrones actor Kit Harington is starring in the movie, which began shooting in Toronto last week. Constantin Film is financing and producing the big-budget title. The movie is set in 79 A.D. in the days before the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, one of history’s great disasters. Harington is playing a slave stuck on a ship who must race against time to save his true love, his master’s daughter, as well as his best friend, a gladiator trapped in the coliseum when the destruction begins. Jared Harris is playing Harington’s master, a wealthy merchant, while Emily Browning is his daughter. Sutherland will play a Roman senator who enslaved Harington’s village.
