It’s Jon Snow vs. a volcano in the epic first teaser for Paul W.S. Anderson’s apocalyptic ‘Pompeii’.

‘Games Of Thrones’s’ Kit Harington, better known as Jon Snow in the cult HBO series, stars as super ripped Milo – a slave who must fight to save to maiden he loves (Emily Browning), against the backdrop of the real-life Roman city that was destroyed in the 79 AD eruption of Mount Vesuvius.

Filling the historical/romance/disaster niche nicely, think ‘Titanic’ in togas.
