Season 5 Casting, News and Speculation V 7 [show spoilers, book spoilers past OP]

[Arkash]

It's the first time they do snippet teasers like this by character. So only Arya so far but a Cersei is way more than likely to happen in the weeks to come.

[larastone]

I really hope we get some news soon about who's been cast for young cersei. because that little girl definitely has some big shoes to fill.

[Colonel Green]

We already know who's playing the young Cersei, do we not?

[Konradsmith]

There was a lady on twitter in the Spring who said her friend's daughter was cast as Young Cersei before we even knew they were casting that part but I don't know if we ever got a name.

Someone could investigate that but it would require sieving through a ton of old posts here and on wicnet (this was pre-WOTW of course), so it might be too time-consuming a task to be worth it.

the lady said her friend's daughter was auditioning for young cersei, not that she had actually been cast.

furthermore there was girl in Youtube saying she had been cast as young cersei....she definitely looks the part https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-NUOJySK4Ink/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAB8/v5EIEwPW0RM/photo.jpg. but obviously a youtube comment is not a reliable source.

[Konradsmith]

Okay, that's what it was. Good finds, I'd forgotten the whole story.

[Jack Bauer 24]

The Game of Thrones Iron from Ice game launches on Tuesday. Maybe we'll get something this week to coincide?

[ctid1977]

Deepwood Motte perhaps?

[biosnake20]

The first teaser was posted last tuesday so maybe we'll get another one this tuesday. New snippet of footage for every major character on a weekly basis sounds like a good way to start the marketing for this season.

[Hippocras]

Of the major story threads this season, Sansa's is obviously the one we know the least about, between the lack of any source material to go on and there being little in the way of filming spoilers; but, by comparison, what do people think is the story thread we know the most about? Filming for KL and Dorne, and to a lesser extent Meereen and Braavos, were splashed all over the place, and we have source material for all of those but Dorne that is likely to be followed fairly closely.

Good question.

IMO we can expect quite major changes in the Dornish, Aegon and Iron Islands stories. So what we know doesn't necessarily apply.

The North has been a void of solid information so we don't even know what roles are included to be able to safely guess how much the story will resemble the books. I think it is important to keep the general theme and tone of events intact in the North, and same for Meereen. Meaning what may seem at first like major changes will in fact maintain key themes for later develpments.

So...we know the most anout KL I guess, because there are very few changes they could make there that would significantly affect where that story actually leads: Cersei showdown with the Faith and sabbotage of the Lannister-Tyrell alliance.

[Hippocras]

Deepwood Motte perhaps?

ha ha

[ThunderG]

Deepwood Motte perhaps?

Rather a Deepwood Mod

[ctid1977]

I'd download it!

Or are you referring to scooter riders?

[igrewupinKL]

yay new thread, as always great job seneti!

to pose my question again, do people think Hardhome will be included this upcoming season? It seems more and more likely everyday. I think it would make an awesome end to the season..

[Konradsmith]

^It seems Hardhome's in but, given that our Wildling Wight features in ep. 508, my guess is that that's when it will occur rather than in the finale. I also think there's a good chance that 508 will be called "Hardhome".

[Seneti]

Wow. Thank you guys for all the appreciation of the summary. :grouphug: It's always good to see that it's actually worth something to someone.

Is the Hardhome information too unreliable to include in the summary? I mean, the poster does have a good track record.

Since this guy has not been confirmed to have professional ties to the production, I'd say so yes.You are right about the track record though, so here's a compromise: I'll put it under "Other potentially spoilery information" with a big warning that's its unconfirmed officially. How does that sound?

[Arkash]

Oh and in the confirmed shooting locations, you put Moneyglass twice Seneti ! ;)

Great job again and thank you !

[LordImp]

Do we get a episode which only features one thing? as episode 9 did with the battle of Castle black last season.

She looked rather noob on the youtube comments when I saw it first, so I don't think she knew young cersei was in a casting call.

Unless, one of her friends who knew, told her to troll GoT fans on youtube, but I don't know why somebody would waste time doing that lol.

[boojam]

It's great to have this kind of info in one place, it's a standard reference.
