I'm rather extremely impatient by nature, as are others here, so this thread might just deserve a place here at the forum.

So - any thoughts as to when we might see another casting announcement?



I'll have a go at it first:

I expect them to finish casting sometime in september(?) seems to me they would want to have the cast ready at least a month or so before shooting. Also i expect that the castings will be spread out somewhat, and since there are still quite a number of roles to fill, maybe we will have something new at least a month before casting ends.

So... Some new casting announcements in mid august at the latest?

There will definitely be a casting announcement this month. If I had to guess which characters, I would say Cersei, Jaime, and Robb.
EDIT-Just clarifying, I don't know for sure, but I'm guessing. I don't have information. I just realized I have 2024 posts. holy shit I didn't even know I passed the 1000.

I think it's because it was 8 minutes before midnight of the last day of the month.

One of the actresses who applied for the role of Dany was turned down without an audition, apparently because the role has been cast already. Apparently HBO will make an official announcement shortly (she says 'weeks' but that might be an exaggeration).

GRRM may spill the beans early if his blog is any indication.

Thats bad luck for her.

We now know that Dany, should at least be part of George's 'hints'.

I don't think I'd trust GRRM with any secrets, he's let slip that Jaime Lannister has been cast. :lol:

Anybody want to place a bet here who's been cast as Dany? No money involved, of course, but you get bragging rights and a collective virtual pat on the back from the rest of us if your guess turns out to be correct.
:bow:

Jaime has also been cast, according to George, but he won't say who landed the role.

Ran, I saw that in another thread but that poster attributes it to 'very unreliable Canadian sources.' You're saying GRRM has confirmed it?

Iceman was being facetious. It's a fellow BWBer who I'd consider unimpeachable who reported that GRRM said this, so I'll take it as gospel. Unless there was too much Irish Mist being ladled out.. ;)

Sunday/monday seems to be a popular time of the week for Hollywood Reporter to publish GoT casting news. My guess is they'll send out a bulletin for Dany and Jaime (plus perhaps some stark children) tomorrow or the day after, with GRRM repeating that info shortly afterwards in his monday book reading session.
