James Hibberd at EW has the exclusive new trailer for the second seasons of Game of Thrones, with a decidedly different style to earlier trailers as it uses the song “Seven Devils ” by Florence + the Machine (note: big fans!) over images of war and turmoil in the Seven Kingdoms. Many of the shots are those we’ve seen before… but there’s a slightly better glimpse of Pyat Pree, some new dialog from Tyrion that comes from the novel, and some nice shots from Iceland.
Check it out!

Not so new... the interesting thing is this use of modern music which is quite good... as for the content: good to see those amazing lines of Tyrion kept...

Love it. As anything GOT these days. I like that they used a modern song this time, attracts a different type of audience maybe? IDK I'm no marketing person. I just hope they will keep the style of music within the show constant to the last season. But I don't really doubt they will.

Not too much new footage, but that last shot of the rider with the Stark banner and Winterfell in the distance...beautiful.
I think visually this season will be even more impressive than the last.

april is coming(not soon enough)

I stumbled across this about an hour ago... and although I like it (cuz its GoT) it just seems so different with the music and the whole Seven Devils things... I don't know... I like the few newer scenes we get -- but I think overall, I'm not a fan...

The *vibe* I get from it isn't as _____ (can't think of the word) as the other 2 trailers.

Beautiful!

Love Florence, Love GOT. It is possible to love two at once

EDIT: I wonder are these "white walkers" wildlings? Or did the NW bring a disguise?

Can somebody type what Robb says after Jaime's "three victories don't make you a conqueror"? I cannot understand him properly ... "three" what?

"It's better than three defeats".

I remember how the gem of film Ladyhawke (1985) was spoiled by an awful an awful score.
The juxtaposition of the contemporary music with the medieval setting was horrible!

[Maroucia]

Even though the music is good, I’m not sure I like it for GOT… It does not work together well for me… I hope they won’t start putting modern day music in the show! Please no!

[The_Gallows_Knight]

Is it just me or is Tyrion wearing his "hand-chain" when he is in armor?

[David C. Hunter]

I cannot tell you why, but this is probably my favorite trailer. The music is just....The dark tones are amazing.

[Mendoza]

I like the shot of Tywin Lannister strolling in on horse looking like he owns the place and then there's a cut to Arya Stark, who looks like she's been through all kinds of hell.

I agree, something about the music sort of ruins the trailer for me. It just doesn't seem as epic with modern music I guess.

[Hyper]

This is a truly epic and cinematic looking trailer.
I love the last shot of Winterfell with the Stark bannerman.

EDIT: Here is an animated GIF of the last scene: http://28.media.tumb...dwjt6o1_500.gif

Yes, that's what it is! It doesn't seem as epic... it just seems... well, kinda like a 2012 TV show
