Robert Aramayo, an actor best known for playing young Ned Stark on the most recent season of "Game of Thrones," has joined "The Empty Man" casts, a Fox's supernatural thriller.
"The Empty Man" which is set to begin shooting in Cape Town, South Africa, in September will star James Badge Dale (Iron Man 3). The movie will be about an "ex-cop (Dale), plagued by the violent death of his son and wife, who struggles to find a missing girl but soon discovers a sinister presence around him," Comicbook noted.
Currently, there are no details have been provided on Aramayo's role. He will be featuring in the 20th Century Fox's "The Empty Man," a feature film adaptation of Boom! Studios comic that is written by Eisner Award-winner Cullen Bunn and it is illustrated by Vanesa R. Del Rey. Boom!'s Adam Yoelin is co-producing.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Aramayo is a relative newcomer who made his debut on HBO's hit fantasy playing a character first originated by Sean Bean. "Game of Thrones" marked Aramayo's acting debut. He will appear on the big screen for the first time in "Nocturnal Animals," an upcoming drama from Tom Ford. The thriller which is expected to be released this November boasts an all-stars cast ranging from Jake Gllenhaal and Amy Adams to Laura Linney and Michael Shannon.
"The Empty Man" comic centers on a reported case of the Empty Man disease which was done one year ago and no drug has been able to slow its progress. The cause of the disease is unknown to many, and the symptoms include hideous hallucinations, fits of rage, suicidal dementia, followed by death, or a near lifeless, "empty" state of catatonia. As murder cults increase nationwide, the CDC and FBI enter a joint investigation of the Empty Man, hoping to piece together clues to stop the cult and uncover a cure.
Aramayo is also starring in Discovery's new scripted mini-series "Harley and the Davidsons," which premieres Sept. 5 with "Game of Thrones" co-star Michiel Huisman. The actor is ripped by Paradigm, Myrna Jacoby of MJ Management and Georgina Monkland of the U.K.'s 42.
