Ariadne Posted November 22, 2011 Author Share Posted November 22, 2011 First glimpse of Brienne in the background behind Renly. Can't wait to see what Gwendoline Christie does with the role next year! I think Renly looks much more Baraetheon-like as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiantCALBears Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 http-~~-//youtu.be/pE12H1HorUUThe new behind the scenes teaser! It's so exciting to get a glimpse of all the new characters. From what I saw Renly and Loras look alot better. Natalie Dormer will kill it as Margaery.It looks like it's going to be great, bring on April!looks sick, got me to rewatch season one on demand again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Renly looks much more Baraetheon-like as well. Very interested to see how Brienne is handled. Renly does look improved from Season 1, but the acting is still unknown. I always pictured Renly as someone similar to Henry Cavill's character in The Tudors (Charles Brandon). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always pictured Renly as someone similar to Henry Cavill's character in The Tudors (Charles Brandon).Yes, I saw him as someone taller, better looking and more charismatic. However, I think the actor playing him has done a decent job with the role as it was written. It's not his fault he was miscast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4815162342 Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Interesting news about future seasons: http://winter-is-coming.net/2011/11/rumor-hbo-to-order-two-more-seasons-film-them-back-to-back/ We are now hearing from multiple sources that HBO plans to order both seasons three and four and film them back-to-back (à la Lord of the Rings). It has already been confirmed that A Storm of Swords would be covered in more than one season. From what we have heard, much of the film crew in Northern Ireland has been told of this plan and has been advised to expect nine months of filming next year.Unconfirmed, but interesting. If it happens HBO won't announce it until they get ratings from Season 2. Back-to-back filming also would be the best way to handle a multi-season arc for Book 3.

Ariadne Posted December 1, 2011 Author Share Posted December 1, 2011 That's really exciting I hope it happens. I really want to see four seasons at least so that would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ariadne Posted December 3, 2011 Author Share Posted December 3, 2011 I love her! Maisie Williams was so good as Arya last season, all the child actors have been brilliant in the show so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4815162342 Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 10 episodes is definitely too little for Clash of Kings, especially since they're going to take time to follow Robb's war campaign and give more detail to Margaery and the Tyrells. 12 would be much better, but HBO is a stickler for 10-episode seasons for this show so far.Maisie's definitely been the best of the child actors and one of the best actors in the show. Considering her material in Books 2 and 3 I wouldn't be surprised if she got enough juice for a Supporting Actress Emmy nomination for one of those seasons.

Fake Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 23 episodes is impossible with that big a show.They would have to work 365 days a yearWhy? The total runtime without ads is only 50-55 minutes per episode, 10 minutes longer than 1-hour shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4815162342 Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Why? The total runtime without ads is only 50-55 minutes per episode, 10 minutes longer than 1-hour shows.This is a big fantasy show that shoots on-location in Europe and requires a good amount of post-production for special effects in every episode, as well as intensive pre-production in getting sets ready, costumes made, etc.An earlier article I posted about filming Seasons 3/4 back-to-back says that filming roughly 20-24 episodes would take 9 months.Plus, it takes about 6 months to film a standard network TV season of 22 episodes with all factors figured in, so it taking at least 3 months longer for a far more expensive and labor-heavy show is not far-fetched.

Ariadne Posted December 10, 2011 Author Share Posted December 10, 2011 http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6vm4sQgTXQ New behind the scenes featurette. You see a glimpse of the back of Brienne a couple of times - she has short blonde hair and is really tall. It's going to be awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Shorts Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Gwendoline Christie is 6'3, so yeah, she's perfect for the role. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
