Emilia Clarke Latest News, Rumors 2015: ‘Game of Thrones’ Actress Turned Down ’50 Shades of Grey’ Role

“Game of Thrones'” Iron Throne aspirant Daenerys Targaryen would have been played by a different actress had Emilia Clarke chosen to accept the role of Anastasia Steele in “Fifty Shades of Grey.”

Christian Post Report – English actress Emilia Clarke, known as the Mother of Dragons in HBO’s epic fantasy miniseries “Game of Thrones,” admitted she was offered the part of Anastasia Steele for “Fifty Shades of Grey,” but turned it down due to the nudity required.

At that time, Clarke was concerned she would be labeled as an actress specializing in nudity if she signed up to submit to Christian Grey’s dominant personality. And while she has appeared in the buff several times during her last four seasons as Daenerys Targaryen, she says she has no regrets turning down the role that won critical acclaim for Dakota Johnson and over $500 million in the box office for the film.

28-year-old Clarke has since won a 2011 Emmy Award for Best Supporting Actress in a Drama, as well as received a 2013 Emmy nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for her role as Khaleesi, Breaker of Chains.

Her role as Daenerys Targaryen has propelled Clarke into the A-list rank and made her a household name, something the actress is still trying to come to terms with.

“Never in a million years did I think Game of Thrones was going to take off like it did,” she told The Hollywood Reporter. “It’s taken me five years to catch up with it. I’m still not sure I’m there.”

According to the show’s producer D.B. Weiss, hundreds of actors auditioned for the role of the rightful heir to the Targaryen throne, but only one was able to deliver a “Joan of Arc” level of messianic intensity.

Fans of Emilia Clarke will be seeing that charismatic force again when Daenerys Targaryen returns for season five of “GoT” on April 12. Clarke will also be appearing as Sarah Connor alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger in the retcon sequel, “Terminator Genisys” due out in theaters on July 1.

The PlayStation 4 could have a few glitches, but there are ways to solve them at home

Update 2.50, codenamed “Yukimura,” is touted to be Sony’s biggest and most significant update in a long while. “Yukimura” comes with several features, one of which is the suspend and resume gameplay capability using the PS button to allow players to hop in and out of their games.

This previously assured improvement Sony promised console users even before its 2013 launch gives players the power to pause their games, switch to another app, then go back and restart their paused game without having to save their progress.

This feature is expected to work for most games playable on the PS4 console. However, Sony’s VP for platforms marketing, John Koller, recently released information the suspend/resume feature may not be fully compatible with every game.

Another feature allows players to back-up and restore their hard drive to an external drive, and vice-versa. To make PS4 games more social, Sony has enabled a Find PS4 Friends capability by connecting the console to users’ Facebook contacts if they opt to link their accounts. This makes it easier for players to join in on their friends’ current games, as well as organize game parties on PS4.

Sony has given users the capability to automatically install their own system updates to their consoles, as well as a screen shot option whenever a game milestone is hit. This way, players can share an accomplishment screengrab on their feed.

Update “Yukimura” is available at PlayStation App and PlayStation Vita, and comes just a week after China lifted its 14-year ban on foreign game consoles, allowing Sony to begin selling their consoles in the Chinese market.
