According to Deadline, MGM has been in talks with Emilia Clarke and Sam Claflin to appear together in another film adaptation of a bestselling novel. This time, however, they won't be dealing with dragons and death games.
The pair has signed on to star in the movie remake of Jojo Moyes' romantic novel, 'Me Before You.'
Moyes' worked with '(500) Days Of Summer' screenplay writers Scott Neustadter & Michael H. Weber for the script of 'Me Before You.'

She became the youngest artistic director in the UK at London's Southwark Playhouse at 21, according to Deadline.
Emilia Clarke plays the Mother of Dragons and exiled Targaryen princess, Danaerys, in the phenomenal HBO series, 'Game Of Thrones.' She has also signed on to appear as Sarah Connor in the upcoming science fiction film, 'Terminator: Genisys.'
Furthermore, she will reportedly be starring with Jennifer Lawrence's ex-boyfriend, Nicholas Hoult, in Michael Suscy's version of the Bonnie and Clyde story, 'Go Down Together.'
Sam Claflin, on the other hand, will be reprising his role as Finnick Odair in the last two 'Hunger Games' films. He will also star opposite Lily Collins in the romantic comedy film, 'Love, Rosie' due to hit cinemas later this year.
'Me Before You' will star Emilia Clarke and Sam Claflin as Lou and Will, who meet each other at the lowest points of their lives. Lou has been stuck in dead-end jobs when she gets hired by a wheelchair-bound Will as his caretaker for six months.
Together, they go adventures to make Will-and eventually, Lou-appreciate life again.
MGM, in partnership with Warner Bros and New Line Cinema, aims to release 'Me Before You' in August 2015.
