10 Years Later, a ‘Game of Thrones’ Star’s $208M Gem Is Officially a Netflix Smash Hit



[

Emilia Clarke is best known for her role as Daenerys Targaryen in HBO’s Game of Thrones, but her impressive catalog of movie and TV performances stretches far beyond Westeros. By starring as Sarah Connor in 2015’s Terminator Genisys and as Qi’ra in Solo: A Star Wars Story, Clarke expanded her Hollywood reach and fame in the process. Next year, she will star opposite Sons of Anarchy‘s Charlie Hunnam in Prime Video’s new crime thriller show, Criminal, based on the comic book series by Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips.

Adria Arjona (Andor), Luke Evans (The Hobbit), Tulsa King’s Garrett Hedlund, Patrick J. Adams (Suits), and more feature alongside Clarke and Hunnam in the upcoming series, which is scheduled to debut its first four episodes on January 13. With just a couple of months until Clarke’s next project, Netflix subscribers are getting in the mood by heading back to one of the Game of Thrones star’s most underrated movies.

The 2016 romantic comedy Me Before You, based on Jojo Moyes’ bestselling novel, stars Clarke alongside Sam Claflin, as she becomes his caregiver following a tragic accident that leaves him paralyzed. The film received a positive response from critics and proved popular at the box office. Against a reported budget of $20 million, Me Before You earned an impressive $208 million worldwide, with more than $150 million made from overseas markets. Ten years later, it’s a hit again. At the time of writing, Me Before You is one of the ten most-watched movies on Netflix in the world.

The Maester Has SpokenYour House Is

Your answers point to the great house whose words, values, and way of surviving in
Westeros match your own. Bend the knee, or don’t. That’s very much up to you.

The NorthHouse Stark“Winter Is Coming”Seat of WinterfellYou took the long view before anyone asked you to.

Winter Is Coming, and you have always known it. You prepare not out of fear but out of duty, because the people who depend on you deserve someone who takes the long view.Why You Belong Here

  • You lead with honor even when it costs you, because you understand that a reputation built
    on integrity is the only one worth having.
  • Your loyalty to family and people runs deep, not as sentiment but as a code that
    doesn’t bend when things get difficult.
  • The North endures because Starks endure, not by being the cleverest players in the game, but
    by being the kind of people others are willing to follow into the cold.
  • You are that kind of person. The pack survives. The lone wolf does not. You already know
    which one you are.

The Long ViewThe PackWinterfell

The WesterlandsHouse Lannister“Hear Me Roar”Seat of Casterly RockYou read the room before you walk into it.

You understand the game: its rules, its exceptions, and exactly when the rules become the exception. You play it without illusions and without apology.Why You Belong Here

  • You are sharper than most people realize, and you have learned to use that gap to your
    advantage.
  • A Lannister always pays their debts, and you always keep your word, because your word is an
    instrument of power, and instruments must be kept in working order.
  • You love your family with a ferocity that sometimes blinds you, and you know it, and you do
    it anyway.
  • The lion doesn’t concern itself with the opinion of sheep. Neither, in the end, do you.

Plays The GamePays DebtsCasterly Rock

The Iron ThroneHouse Targaryen“Fire and Blood”Seat of DragonstoneYou were never going to settle for the world as handed to you.

You carry a sense of destiny that is difficult to explain and impossible to ignore, the feeling that you are not simply participating in the world but meant to reshape it.Why You Belong Here

  • You are capable of extraordinary things, and you know it, and that knowledge is both your
    greatest strength and your most dangerous quality.
  • The Targaryen words are not just words to you. They are a philosophy about what change
    requires and what it costs.
  • The Targaryens at their best were transformative rulers who broke chains and defied the
    limits of what anyone thought possible.
  • At your best, so are you. The dragon has three heads. You are one of them.

DestinyTransformativeDragonstone

The StormlandsHouse Baratheon“Ours Is the Fury”Seat of Storm’s EndYou arrive in a room and the room knows it.

You are a force: direct, powerful, and difficult to ignore when you enter a room or a disagreement. You do not negotiate with challenges. You meet them.Why You Belong Here

  • Ours is the fury, and yours is a kind of intensity that commands attention, respect, and
    occasionally caution from those who underestimate what’s behind it.
  • You value strength and straight dealing. You’d rather know where you stand than
    navigate a web of courtly whispers.
  • The Baratheons built their house on the back of one of the greatest military victories in
    Westerosi history, and then struggled with what came after.
  • The lesson of your house is that winning is not the end of the story. Governing is. You are
    learning that too.

DirectStraight DealingStorm’s End

The ReachHouse Tyrell“Growing Strong”Seat of HighgardenPower arrives with flowers and good wine.

You understand that power does not always announce itself, that sometimes it arrives with flowers, good wine, and a smile that doesn’t quite reach the eyes.Why You Belong Here

  • Growing Strong is your house’s motto, and you live it: patiently, strategically, always
    investing in the relationships and resources that will matter most when it counts.
  • You are charming by choice and calculating by nature, a combination that makes you one of
    the most effective players in any room you enter.
  • The Tyrells fed King’s Landing and shaped its politics without ever sitting on the Iron
    Throne, and they were arguably more powerful for it.
  • You know that the person who controls the food controls the kingdom. And you always know
    where the food is.
