Ser Walter of AShwood Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Source: http://www.ew.com/article.2015/06/23/Game-thrones-season-6-directors Ep 1 & 2: Jeremy PodeswaEp 3 & 4: Daniel SackheimEp 5 & 6: Jack BenderEp 7 & 8: Mark MylodEp 9 & 10: Miguel Sapochnic So what do we think of that? Now we know that the director who directed Hardhome in season 5 will be directing the final 2 episodes of season 6.Anybody who thinks we're in for a new epic battle/climax for season 6?

Alequo Adarys Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 That's a good thought. I have been wondering if this next season will start with book six or back track a bit with Brienne, Jaime, and/or Tyrion. If the show lines up with the book, though, that won't make sense. GRRM has stated the book opens with two battles, Mereen and in the snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LatrineDiggerBrian Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 I'm a little disappointed by this list. Where is Alex Graves? That guy is a ridiculous talent and responsible for Oberyn vs Mountain, Purple Wedding, Hound vs Dondarrion, Dany's taking of Astapor and siege of Mereen. Also, where is David Nutter? Responsible for the Red Wedding, and Pit of Daznak battle. Those two are just on a different level when it comes to fight scenes and action and making everything really coherent and easy to follow. The Battle of Hardhome was great, but still not on their level in my opinion as at times you lost a little bit of perspective of what was going on. Mark Mylod did a really nice job on episodes 3 and 4 with only criticism being the Harpy fight at the end of season 4 which was below GoT standards in my opinion. In particular, loved the introduction of the interior of The House of Black and White in the beginning of episode 3 and also the shot of Brienne and Podric on a cliff overlooking Moat Cailin. Jeremy Podeswa was really up and down in episodes 5 and 6, were some things I liked and some things I didn't like. Disappointed Michael Slovis isn't back from last season, thought he did a really wonderful job on the first two episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe that. I doubt they wouldn't ask him to come back over that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombies That Were Promised Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Cast* and btw they brought back the Dorne director for s6 (which is scary).. so I fail to buy into Alex Graves not returning because of that "controversy." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a big difference between a bad scripted storyline and what that scene was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VeturKemur Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 The direction in Season 5 was great (infamous Dorne scene aside). It's the screenwriting that made most of it a disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMC Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Alex Graves is an eminently accomplished TV director. To not hire him over one scene would be incredibly stupid and reflects the hypercritical nature of some fans. Although it perhaps explains why he's not willing to return, which sucks.

AlpenglowMemories Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 I'm unfamiliar with Sackheim and Bender. I like Podeswa generally, even if episode six was weak. Mylod was serviceable. Sapochnic was fine, though his action was too cutty at Hardhome. I thought Michael Slovis was the most interesting director in season five. I've been hoping for years that Tim Van Patten would return, but alas, he seems busy elsewhere. I assume they'll try to get Neil Marshall back next year.

VeturKemur Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Slovis always shoots from the best / most interesing angles. It's a shame he's not back for season 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Wedding is league of it's own,but you really can't compare this HH or Daznak's. Hardhome was better than Daznak Pit. Just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bender directed about half of Lost, including most of its finales, so I'm pretty excited he's coming onto GoT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
