El Guapo Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Love the poster. Who cares if the shot of Drogon is an image from last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiery Heart Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 no. Tyrion hears something overhead on the Sorrows, but as PatrickStormborn rightly pointed out, it is very unlikely to have been Drogon Can you refer me to PatrickStormborn's explanation? I'm curious. If it's not Drogon, what could it be? And why would GRRM even mention this. Is it not described as sounding like something large? Reading the books I pictured Drogon up there when I read the description... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoManyVows Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Diana Rigg is among the regulars. Could this possibly be a hint of her getting upgraded to regular cast this season? Hopefully. The fact that she's listed ahead of several members of the starring cast is notable, but then again, she may have just gotten premium placement on this particular press release because she's Dame Diana Rigg and if you have her as a member of your cast, you advertise that wherever and whenever you can. I have no issues with this, by the way. :) I think that last year demonstrated that regardless of whatever the promotional materials say, there's no way to know who exactly has been promoted to a member of the "main cast" until the episodes start airing and we see the actor or actress's name in the opening credits (and even then, such a designation has more to do with contracts than any promises of screentime). Rigg was listed among the starring cast on the official press release last year (as was Michael McElhatton) but she was ultimately credited as a Guest Star, as she has been for the past two seasons. By contrast both Kristofer Hivju and Hannah Murray were listed among the recurring cast in the official press materials, when they had actually both joined the main cast and appeared in the opening credits. Go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larastone Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I like that Lena is being second billed after Peter again. That hasn't happened since season 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading the books I pictured Drogon up there when I read the description... about 9 posts above my own? http://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/topic/124844-season-5-casting-news-and-speculation-v-10-spoilers/?p=6770112 and to me it just seemed like a bat or something. After the WOIAF, I think there is a chance that perhaps it was a wyvern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiery Heart Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Cool, I hadn't read back that far. Gracias. I still think it could be Drogon who passes overhead... maybe he has a couple of lairs? Bats can fly up to 250 miles per night... Dragons I imagine can travel real far too no?I can't see why GRRM would bother mentioning this without it being Drogon he was referring to.

sati Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Jesus Christ, even I could make a better poster and I'm an amateur. But it's still better than last year's. A re-used shot of Drogon, though? Really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Maid Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Here is the poster: https://twitter.com/GameOfThrones/status/571416110983196672I like it. They definitely know how to tease people about a Tyrion -Dany reunion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkash Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 My favourite poster remains the all black version of the season 4 one (the one on the DVDs and blurays). I wish they had gone more symbolic this season again. I would have loved getting icy blue eyes reflecting fire (but that is too soon maybe). Dont really like that one.

sati Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 It's just that the promo thing is all over the place - Cersei's flashback opens the season, then the tagline is 'justice has a price' and now it's Tyrion and Drogon.....pick one, guys!

Just Maid Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Is this the poster for the whole season? I saw the posters from previous seasons and they weren't centered in one character ( in this case Tyrion). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lenniegroove Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Yes by season 7 all epsiodes will last about 10 minutes.They'll just release 10 sight teasers. Or maybe two semi seasons of 7 sight teasers apiece in order to kept actor salary costs manageable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sati Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Really is badass That would be a nice ending to the battle episode as opposed to the piece of crap ending from 4x09 :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igrewupinKL Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 wow that poster is just eurghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh :ack: Would have preferred no drogon If they wanted to save money they should have just had a fanmade poster competition, because teenagers on photoshop could do better than that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see why GRRM would bother mentioning this without it being Drogon he was referring to. Dany's last chapter indicates that it was not Drogon. His lair is in the Dothraki Sea and Dany spends a significant amount of time with him there. Every sunset he returns to this lair. Why would GRRM mention it? To build suspense, to illustrate the setting, for worldbuilding, and foreshadowing Tyrion's eventual encounter with the dragons. But that does not mean it was Drogon he saw.
