Sophie Turner is brushing up the disaster that was Dark Phoenix while she turns to the television. Well, technically it's the growing streaming service that Quibi and Turner are going to play a leading role in the series. To survive but hey, it still works. It's only been a few months since we saw Turner play Sansa Stark in HBO's career. The iron Throne but it seems that she wants to return to the known amount of television while also participating in the vision of an emerging streaming service that seeks to push back some creative boundaries.

By deadline, Turner will play the female lead in To survive opposite 24: the inheritance and Kong: the island of the skull star Corey Hawkins. The series will follow "Jane (Turner) whose plane crashes on a snow-covered isolated mountain and she, along with Paul (Hawkins), the only surviving survivor must get out of the wreck and fight for his life together, they undertake a heart-rending journey out of the desert, fighting brutal conditions and personal trauma. "

In a statement about his casting, Turner expressed his joy at playing Jane:

"I could not be more honored to play Jane in To survive for Quibi. He is a complex character who fights against obstacles not only to save his life, but also to find his own source of strength and courage. I only hope that it can have an impact on anyone who has a hard time valuing themselves, understand that they are braver than they know and seek the support they need. "

It's nice to see that Turner is ready to take a new direction with his work, even if the role and plot are a little too much like a reuse. The iron Throne intrigue (did not the bow of Sansa last long?). Oh, and if the plot sounds familiar to you, it's because you're thinking of 2017 The mountain between us, featuring Idris Elba and Kate Winslet like two people trying to survive on a remote, snowy mountain after a plane crash – you guessed it. In a wild twist, The mountain between us is adapted from a novel written by Charles Martin and To survive is also adapted from a novel except that this one was written by Richard Abate. I wonder if there will be any twists in To survive apart from the usual dangers of surviving in the snow-covered nature in order to differentiate it sufficiently from The mountain between us. Of course, I realized that this was a new installment of a popular drama (other wildlife survival dramas that come to my mind and that seem relevant here are: The ghost and Grey) But To survive really risk being a full copy right now, even until the distribution of its tracks.

Then again To survive has the only advantage of being broadcast only on the Jeffrey Katzenberg–Meg WhitmanQuibi service (abbreviation of "Quick Bites"). What makes a special Quibi show is that each episode lasts only 7 to 10 minutes, according to Vanity Fair. This will undoubtedly encourage some creative storytelling decisions, which will be particularly important for To survive he wants to avoid appearing like Sansa Stark was dropped into a remake of The mountain between us.
