Sophie Turner brands petition to remake season eight of Game of Thrones 'disrespectful'

Sophie Turner has said the petition to have season eight of Game of Thrones remade, created by a disgruntled fan, is 'disrespectful' to those who make the show.

The petition was launched earlier this month, and has now pulled in nearly 1.5 million signatures, a total boosted following the series finale.

It asks fans to sign up up they want the divisive final series of show remade ‘by competent writers’, a slight at showrunners Dan Weiss and David Benioff.

And while Turner says she's not surprised by the frustration, she's not happy about how it's manifested itself.

“People always have an idea in their heads of how they want a show to finish, and so when it doesn’t go to their liking, they start to speak up about it and rebel,” she told The New York Times.

“All of these petitions and things like that - I think it’s disrespectful to the crew, and the writers, and the filmmakers who have worked tirelessly over 10 years, and for 11 months shooting the last season.

“Like 50-something night shoots. So many people worked so, so hard on it, and for people to just rubbish it because it’s not what they want to see is just disrespectful.”

She's not the only cast-member to rubbish the petition.

“It’s ridiculous that people think they can just demand a different ending because they don’t like it,’ Isaac Hempstall-Wright, who plays Bran Stark, told The Hollywood Reporter.

“I have stupidly taken it quite personally, which obviously I shouldn’t. In my opinion, it’s a great ending.”

Well, he would say that, wouldn't he.

Speaking prior to the final episode’s airing, he addd: “If people have made up their minds now that they hate Game of Thrones, then obviously they are not going to enjoy it, no matter how good it is. I personally think it's a very clever way of tying it all up.”
