Game of Thrones - HBO part 2 - Part 9

[lime]

Lena Headey, Peter Dinklage, Richard Madden and Emilia Clarke are payed 30,000 to 50,000 per episode. The rest, depending on the role are payed less.

That makes the top stars salaries for a season between 300,000 and 500,000$.

Mark that these figures are for the first season. I do not know for the next two!

Who was he in that? It couldn't have been a big part.....

One of the kids Bale and Gerard Bulter protect and preform Star Wars for.

I imagine people like Headey and Dinklage probably have small royalties that come from certain avenues like DVD sales and certain merchandise with their likeness on it that help supplement their income as part of their contracts. A show this big would usually have much higher salaries for its stars but it's the exposure and being able to use it for other roles as leverage where they probably make their big money.

I would love to see a miniseries of Robert's Rebellion as opposed to a spin off since it could compliment the series and fill in some gaps if they had to wait (which doesn't sound like much of an option since the kids age rapidly). Since it takes place about 15-20 years before the start of the show, I guess that means you'd have to recast the principle players like Ned and Robert unfortunately since they're much older

Speaking of likeness, when are we getting 1:12 scale action figures? I want a Tyrion to punch my Skeletor in the nads.

I'd actually be down for an animated movie. That way all the actors could reprise their roles (especially Sean Bean and Mark Addy). Maybe it could even be released in multiple parts like The Dark Knight Returns.

I don't like the idea of a miniseries much, just like the spartacus prequel showed, much of the stuff has to be compressed and ends up being less interesting or complex than we expected. That's actually the problem with picking any of the most interesting events in the GoT universe, you have to make a full blown tv adaptation or else you're going to end up watering down the events.

That's why I thought he was supposed to be younger. I figured if he was even 16 they'd let him run Westeros so being 17 and still yoked by his mother has to be awkward.

That was something that struck me as I'm reading book one now. And that's that alot of these characters are young as hell.

I think Joffrey and Robb are supposed to be the same age, or about within a year of eachother. I think Jon is 14 when he dons the black. Dany is about the same age when Viserys hands her off to Drogo.

So I've been re-watching the entire series (just finished season 2 again yesterday, now it's up to rewatching season 3). It's interesting, after having listened to the soundtracks for all three seasons I found myself noticing the musical queues in the episodes themselves a lot more than on my very first viewing of the show. That doesn't happen very often with me (even soundtracks I love for movies I love, usually when I watch the movie again, the music kind of still remains in the background)....I've said it before, I'll say it again, Ramin Djawadi is an AWESOME composer

Djawadi is amazing. It was pretty cool to see that he does the music for both Game of Thrones and Person of Interest.

Not sure about Headey. She was in the news a month or so back being on the verge of bankruptcy and in debt. Not knowing the details though (like how she got so close to bankrupt) I wouldn't say for certain. Then again it might be she was just waiting on her check to arrive in the mail.

 

[Victarion]

The ages in the book reflect what it was like in the Middle Ages. You were an adult at a much younger age back then.

 

[Teelie]

Which is why I figured he was younger and if it is true Joffrey is really 17~ then he should be ruling without his mother watching over him. I didn't know they had 90201'd some of the cast though.

 

[chamber-music]

Interviwer: I know that you're from London and Worcester; did you have to learn how to do Jon's northern accent?

HARINGTON: I auditioned for Jon Snow in my own accent, and then when we got to filming the pilot, they asked all of Sean Bean's sons to do Sean's accent, so we had to go and learn it quickly.

Interviwer: Did Sean Bean make fun of you?

HARINGTON: Sean? He was encouraging, actually. He found it funny that we were all doing his accent. He said we were all doing it well, which was quite nice to hear.

Bran and Rickon don't have a Sheffield accent (Sean Bean's accent) in the show though

Only Robb and Jon sound like they are from Northern England.

I guess being so young, they would have spent more time with their mother and maybe other servants who don't have Ned's accent.

Thanks. That would explain why I have no memory of him. Did he even have any lines? LOL...

That was the last time they saw each other

It is weird to think about how little screentime some of the major players have had together... Until the S3 finale, Jaime hadn't seen either of his siblings until probably the second or third episode of the series. Robb never once had a one-on-one scene with Ned. Bran was still asleep when Catelyn parted with him. I guess it's just the nature of the story and the size of the cast and such, but it's still pretty crazy to think about.

 

[Ramsay Snow]

It's all Jon's fault. Those words went to the head of Robb - it made him too overconfident, thinking that he couldn't die since he was hard to kill.

 

[Silvermoon]

That was the last time they saw each other

Yeah, I was thinking that each time on my rewatch of season one and it made it all the more emotional

--- that's the last time Jon see's Robb.....
--- "Next time we see each other, we'll talk about your mother, I promise" (paraphrase).... that's the last time Jon see's Ned
--- the last time Robb sees Bran

and so on and so on.... rewatches can be so interesting that way when you have knowledge of what comes later. At the same time though, in some ways, it makes me glad that I'm behind on my reading of the books (I'm *close* to being done with Book 2 - I think I've got a couple of hundred pages left?) so watching the show I experience a lot for the first time and get that initial visceral reaction, and then I can go back on rewatch and see little clues, hints, or nuances that make some things earlier all the more poignant.

Now you know how us "sullied" felt watching those episodes. Ned's conversation with Jon really got to me watching that for the first time. I loved how Sean Bean played that (almost breaking down). I don't believe that conversation was even in the books. I think in the books, when Ned was considering taking the black while imprisoned he thought that he would tell Jon about his mother.

Emilia Clarke is in new coming of age movie Spike Island. Its weird seeing her playing a 90s Manchester school girl.

lol oh pleeze.

I just saw that Richard Madden is playing Prince Charming in Disney's live action Cinderella. Choosing love over duty again

 

[Sawyer]

Prince Charming didn't have any duties other than to sit around and look pretty. Robb was in wartime, dammit!
