williamjm Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Here's another guess - 'boney pop singer' refers to the pop group Boney M, one of whose singers was Elizabeth Mitchell, who is the not the same Eilzabeth Mitchell as the American actress who plays Juliette on Lost.ETA - apparently Elizabeth Mitchell is also the birth name of actress Elizabeth Banks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iheartseverus Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Well Ned lost his head. As did Anne Boleyn. Anne Boleyn was played by Natalie Dormer in The Tudors which was recently shown on American TV.Excellent deduction, Holmes!!This also fits nicely with GRRM's phrase that 'shows can get cancelled and so can characters.' Both Ned and Anne Boleyn 'got cancelled.' :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Hetz Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 This just occurred to me: Perhaps Bonnie Wright as Sansa?She plays Ginny Weasley in the Harry Potter series. She had a very minor role in 2007 on an American show, so that matches GRRM's specification. She has no lines in the pilot, so it's a 'small' role, but by God is it important. She is about the right age (she's 18), and she has the right coloring.Just my 2 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mya Stone Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 When he said someone in common with Ned, I actually thought something in common with Sean Bean, which took me straight to LotR. That was still sitting in the back of my mind when he mentioned that two of them were recently on American television. Dominic Monaghan was in Lost not too long ago, he's too young for Theon, but about right for Jamie. I don't know how I feel about the idea, but that's where my mind went.Dom (yes, I call him that - we're old chums :P) is now working on ABC's Flashforward, and it probably coming back to Lost's final season for a spell, so I think that's out. And Elizabeth Mitchell has the lead in V, a new series, as well - and she's also filming a few more episodes of Lost. Elizabeth Banks is from my hometown. We were in the same high school theatre program. (Albeit, she's a few years older than me...:P) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wolf Maid Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 That's a good guess, she has perfect coloring for Sansa.I'm going to sound so shallow for this, but is she pretty enough for Sansa?Also, isn't she still shooting for HP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never been a fan of her acting ability in the HP movies, but she does have a loyal following.'Dutch Treat' in GRRM's blog title just has to mean something. I was thinking it meant one of the cast is Dutch by nationality, but perhaps its a reference to someplace Dutch. Anybody know any actress named Holland, or Amsterdam or Netherland or some such? :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But no, IMHO, she's not pretty enough for Sansa. Also, I think she's too lank and lean for her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fate's Bitch Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Maybe Anna Friel? She's partnered with actor David Thewlis, who plays Lupin in "Harry Potter". She was also in the recently cancelled "Pushing Daisies". Born in 1976 so just about the right age to be playing Cersei.I like the Natalie Dormer guess but at 27, she seems a tad young for Cersei.

Stunts Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Oh GAWD do I dare hope that it is in fact JOSH! choice of fans worldwide? Will sawyer die? And be reincrnated as a Knight in SHINING ARMOR????? Could it be he agreed to the terms because they could/would work with the final season of lost? Ahhhh. I hope/suspect this is so.....

Brude Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Joss Stone played Dutch princess Anne of Cleves on The Tudors...she's only 22, not sure who she could be playing. Too young for Cersei and looks too old to me for Dany. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reality is a tricky state of mind, isn't it. :PJoss Stone played Dutch princess Anne of Cleves on The Tudors...she's only 22, not sure who she could be playing. Too young for Cersei and looks too old to me for Dany.She's also not terribly talented (as an actress), way too curvy, and ordinary looking to play Dany. Hhhmmm, unless they dye her hair red and presto, the red witch...Maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Yeah, but Joss Stone is ... most emphatically not Cersei, or any of the younger women. I admit, the dutch thing puzzled me... and certainly, she's not a boney pop singer, but ... no. She was fine as Anne, but it wasn't exactly a massive or particularly difficult role... Hrm.I think we're grasping at straws. These seem too obscure to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well, off to work, and no board access. I'll be :bang: all night thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might not be the most attractive actress in all Hollywood, but I think she's certainly pretty enough to play Sansa. As I remember, the list of most beautiful women in A Game of Thronesgoes: Dany > Cersei > Sansa > Catelyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ph2586 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Dutch treat is an expression : when we someone takes you out eg for dinner and everyone pays for himself that is called Dutch treat...Maybe he means that he cant say the names outloud and we will have to find them ourselves (and he wont have to pay for it (to HBO)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iheartseverus Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 I found an actress named Willa Holland (as in 'Dutch Treat?') She's 18 yrs old, certainly pretty enough for Sansa. She's Brian dePalma's step-daughter!http://www.imdb.com/media/rm2764151552/nm1473267 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
