PETER Dinklage will star in Sony’s ‘Rumpelstiltskin’.

The ‘Game of Thrones’ actor has signed on to take the title role in the upcoming movie, which will be based on the Brothers Grimm fairy tale, according to Variety.

The fairy tale features a young girl whose father promises an evil king she can spin straw into gold but she is unable to do so and makes a deal with Rumpelstiltskin that she soon regrets.

Author Patrick Ness will adapt the story into a screenplay for the movie.

Karen Rosenfelt, Matt Smith, David Alpert and Josh Weinstock are producing.

Dinklage and David Ginsberg will also produce through their Estuary Films banner.

Although the fi lm is still in development, it is “a priority for the actor and studio”. — BANG Showbiz
