Kit Harington wanted to do 'Blood For Dust' because of the action scenes

Kit Harington wanted to do 'Blood For Dust' because of the action scenes.

The 37-year-old actor is starring in the new thriller - which follows a new salesman who finds himself on a dangerous path after a chance encounter with a colleague who has a dark past - and liked being able to go out to Montana to fire guns as part of the film.

He told ScreenRant: "Well, I hadn't done a lot of gun stuff prior to this. I like action scenes, and this seemed to have them. That was a big pull. I did go, which you don't have the opportunity to in the UK, I went to a range out in Montana to fire some guns so I knew what I was doing because it's not something in my background I have and did a bit of my homework there.

"But one thing that I was quite clear or keen on is that it shouldn't feel in any way glorifying, and I don't think this movie does. I think we were very careful how we shot some of those scenes. If anything, it was Ricky flashing his gun, feeling like a man, but we could see that it was a cover for everything and he should never look too cool with the gun. He looks like a guy that loves guns, but not a guy who looks effortlessly cool with it."
