Seneti Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Count me out of the Natalie Dormer fan club. http://www.makinggameofthrones.com/production-diary/2014/4/28/interview-with-bryan-cogman Bryan Cogman: Then you go into the Tommen, Margaery and Ser Pounce scene. In the book he was a kitten but I arrive on set, and they’ve cast a sumo wrestler cat. This is probably the last time you’ll see Ser Pounce because filming with a cat is a nightmare. Natalie Dormer wanted to kill me. But the cat is in it because he serves a purpose: You immediately see that Tommen is not Joffrey. Tommen is a sweet boy with a cat named Ser Pounce, and who has found himself in incredible circumstances. He is going to be king and he is going to marry this woman. The innocence of Tommen is fun to play with because there isn’t a lot of innocence in this world. Cats are notoriously hard to shoot scenes with, because they never seem to do what you want them to do, even if it is something simple as jumping on the bed and having somebody run their hands through their fur. There's a hilarious outtake for Criminal Minds where one of the characters was supposed to pick up her cat on the way out of her apartment, give him a quick kiss and then put him down again. Sounds easy, right? Well they needed dozens of takes because the cat just didn't want to stand still long enough to be picked up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raksha 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Dogs: officially superior. Cats are beautiful and graceful, but I love dogs...Nice to see Ser Pounce, though. Couldn't they have found any trained cat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveyJoe Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 That was their best trained cat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
direwoofwoof Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Ser Pounce was awesome and acted just as he should have- as a cat! Loved that this little but important detail made it into the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pod The Impaler Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Mayhaps the cat would not do the scene until someone removed all the green M&M's from its treats dish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UVA Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Fuck ser pounce, he's just a big pussy.No, no, no, no! Ser Pounce is a badass pussy! GRRM should write a spin-off novella, a buddy novel if you will about the adventures and shenanigans of the Red Keep's two badass, face smashing pussies, Ser Pounce and Balerion.

Le Cygne Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 No, no, no, no! Ser Pounce is a badass pussy! GRRM should write a spin-off novella, a buddy novel if you will about the adventures and shenanigans of the Red Keep's two badass, face smashing pussies, Ser Pounce and Balerion. If Balerion could get past seeing Ser Pounce as another hors d'oeuvre. Wait, Ser Pounce is not coming back? That's just wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Envie Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 I said this in the other thread but Ser Pounce gets my kudos for saving Tommen's virtue from that lecherous Margaery Tyrell! :drool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jslay427 Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 That was pretty cool how Joffrey was going to mix up Ser Pounces innerds in Tommens food. Fucking sinister. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
