Well, this falls firmly under the category of 'SCARLEH'.
While several entertainment media outlets were today reporting that Game of Thrones star Peter Dinklage is to take a role in Martin McDonagh's new film, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, RTÉ came up with a slightly different angle.
The headline on their story read:
Thrones star Dinklage to reunite with Martin McDonagh
The piece goes on to explain:
The pair previously worked together on 2008's, In Bruges, with Colin Farrell's character continually mocking his diminutive stature including the oft-quoted line of "Quick, they're filming midgets!".
Which would be fine, except that wasn't Peter Dinklage who starred in In Bruges – it was Jordan Prentice, who is a distinctly different human being altogether.
It's still live on the RTÉ site, though we suspect that this won't be the case for long.
Ouch.
