Game of Thrones General (Non-Book Related) Discussion Thread

I want the trailer!

Liam Cunningham (Davos) said July for the season premiere. So could be late June, or July 2nd coinciding with Con of Thrones.

I want the trailer!

Game of thrones season 6 premiered April 24. The first real trailer was released on March 8.

Since the season 7 premier isn't until late June or early July it will probably be May or June before we see any footage.

In short, we are going to have to be patient.

Such a young age. Bone problems and heart and artery problems seem to plague people that are that tall.

Tho his screen time was limited he played one of my favorite GOT characters perfectly. RIP, Neil.

‘Game Of Thrones’ Will Return in July, Claims Liam Cunningham

Yeah they had the actor in makeup and shot on green screen and then composited him into shots at a larger size. Jackson used similar methods for Gandalf and humans in the Hobit films. They probably used some forced perspective on GOT too.

I don't think we'll get anything teaser wise until The Leftovers gets closer to air. They'll advertise it with that.

 

[Reek]

nah we will get a teaser this month or beginning of April... they have a deal with the MLB and the season opener is the beginning of April.

 

[Marvolo]

It's too early for a teaser with footage, but they may do an announcement teaser similar to the Faces teaser for season 6.

 

[Reek]

i wouldnt say the beginning of April is too early, but to each his own.

 

[Reek]

SORRY MARVOLO... what were you saying about no footage anytime soon?!?!

SEASON 7 TRAILER

Spoiler

 

[Marvolo]

Yeah cause that's totally a trailer. It's a 5-7 second shot of a sword. (A badass sword.)

Im basing my assumption off of how they marketed season 6. We didn't get footage until March and the season premiered in April. if they follow that pattern for 7 we will have to wait until late May early June for a trailer with footage. I'd love for them to change their marketing strategy and release a trailer with footage earlier as a sort of consolation for fans since the season was pushed back but I won't expect anything worthwhile until May at the earliest. Can't be as disappointed if I dont expect anything.

 

[Reek]

I'm going to ignore your babbling and just assume you laughed at the tiny bit of footage and took the joke instead of .... babbled.

 

[scarlet-witch]

At least Oathkeeper looks cool.

interview with Broadbent...

The casting of Jim Broadbent was the major announcement for season seven of Game of Thrones, with the confirmation of the Academy Award-winning actor coming late last August. The announcement didn’t provide a name for his role, unfortunately, leaving fans to speculate over the possible parts for such a high-caliber performer.

In October, a new possibility arose when Watchers on the Wall learned from a source that the ASOIAF character Archmaester Ebrose will be appearing in the upcoming season.

As we noted then, “Ebrose is a maester of the Citadel, where he is mostly mentioned in conjunction with his area of expertise – healing- and his distinct silver mask and rod.” Ebrose is not a prominent character in the novels, only appearing briefly and being noted for his “soft voice and gentle hands.” But his skill at healing is so remarkable that the former maester Qyburn, in discussing his own skills, says that he’s “as skilled a healer as Ebrose, but aspired to surpass him.”

The mystery of Broadbent’s role is all but gone today as the actor has confirmed, in a new interview with Screencrush, that he will indeed be playing an archmaester on Game of Thrones.

“I’m a maester, an archmaester. I’m an old professor character,” Broadbent tells Screencrush. He confirms that he’ll be appearing in five episodes. He also says, “I did sort of one major scene in each episode.”

Furthermore, Broadbent says that his scenes were shared with Samwell Tarly (John Bradley).

We last saw Sam at the Citadel in the season 6 finale, being admitted to the great library. It sounds as though he’ll be learning from Broadbent’s archmaester (who is most likely Ebrose) in season 7. If Ebrose shares his book character’s healing skill, then we suspect they’ll be meeting up with another major Westerosi character, one who is very much in need of a medical miracle- Jorah Mormont (Iain Glen).
