Game of Thrones star reportedly tired of all those nude scenes

(Blastr News)

In addition to stunning visuals and great storytelling, HBO’s Game of Thrones is also known for another feature: A boat-load of nudity. But, one of the female stars is reportedly tired of walking around in the buff all the time.

Actress Natalia Tena, who plays Osha on the series, was talking about all the nudity and sex scenes on the series, and mentioned that one of the cast members got so tired of walking around in her birthday suit that she’s essentially refused to do it anymore — and has apparently managed to convince the writers to keep her clothes on for a while now.

Here’s an excerpt from Tena's interview with The Telegraph:

“One of the girls in the show who got her kit off the most in the first couple of seasons now doesn’t at all because she said, ‘I want to be known for my acting not for my breasts.’”

Tena doesn’t go into detail over which actress is pushing back against the producers, though the best guess goes to Emilia Clarke (pictured above), who plays the dragon lady Daenerys Targaryen. Clarke has previously spoken out about the nudity, essentially calling it gratuitous because it focuses so much on the female characters as opposed to the males.

What do you think? Is the nudity in Thrones gratuitous, or do those scenes fit George R.R. Martin’s world and actually complement the story?

General Zod delivers a deadly message in new Man of Steel trailer

(Blastr News)

Warner Bros. marketing for Man of Steel is still going strong. This week, the studio released another trailer entitled, "Fate of Your Planet," and it's just as daunting as it sounds. It focuses on General Zod (Michael Shannon) and his mission to find Superman (Henry Cavill) by any means necessary.

The narration goes a little something like this:

"My name is General Zod. I have journeyed across an ocean of stars to reach you. Your world has sheltered one of my citizens. He will look like you but he is not one of you. To those of you who know of his location, the fate of your planet rests in your hands. To Kal-El I say this: Surrender within 24 hours or watch this world suffer the consequences."

General Zod is pulling no punches. The trailer finishes with several shots of destruction and it's not pretty.

Check out the trailer below:

Man of Steel opens in theaters June 14.
