As the third season of HBO's "Game of Thrones" comes to a close, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, who plays dashing warrior Jaime Lannister, is in talks to star in Summit Entertainment's epic fantasy movie "Gods of Egypt," TheWrap has learned.
Alex Proyas ("I, Robot") is directing from Burk Sharpless and Matt Sazama's original screenplay, which Proyas also had a hand in shaping.
"Gods of Egypt" is set in ancient Egypt against the legendary world of great pyramids and sphinxes. Coster-Waldau would play Horus, the god of the sky, who teams up with a human thief and Hathor, the goddess of love, on a magical quest to avenge the death of his father, Osiris.
