General_Lee Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Hm aren't there still leaves on the trees at the beginning of the book? I mean, it's late summer, so the trees are surely supposed to have leaves (maybe colored ones). But October is autumn. I've to Ireland last October and well, it was still good enough for a late summer, but then they really have to hurry shooting the Pilot. Still great news!

Rumarumo Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I live in an area infested with small forts and shit, so they're bound to shoot nearby. (I hope) I can pull off dead guy #7, honest... :leaving: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumarumo Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Tipperary here. We only have small castles, nothing major (even the Rock is pretty small) but I'm confident. Even if nothing gets picked up here, hell, it's a small country, and my Capri will take me anywhere ;) [quote]I'll fight you for it! :fence:[/quote] :pirate: Careful!

But their's one across the road from me which was used in High Spirits and Killinaskully. I'd see Wicklow and Donegal and places like that are more likely though. Some of the bigger castles couldn't be used because of tourism and modernised surroundings and all that. Bunratty, for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunratty, for example.[/quote] That might be the advantage of filming in October. It wouldn't be the tourist season, so some of the best castles may be delighted to get some guaranteed revenue at that time of the year. I must say, i'm pleasantly surprised. But since the pilot will be focused on Winterfell, Ireland would work. We can do rather old castles quite well. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Roses Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Luck of the bloody Irish.............. ;) Oh well, at least we have a start date and location now and actually Ireland will suit the pilot well. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 They can do quite a lot with digital compositing, so modern surroundings aren't necessarily an issue in using actual castles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

General_Lee Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 I hope they shoot near Bundoran, so I could go there for a surf and wacht the shooting. Well, too bad that Ryanair is shit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Monte Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Oddly enough Iceland is more known for being green. Greenland is where all the ice and snow is. I know it sounds weird but its true. You can definitely find snow in any of the countries, but if you want immense snowfall, check out Greenland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxxy Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 [quote name='Myrddin' post='1706171' date='Mar 3 2009, 10.16']No, but the Others will be obsessed with sugary cereal with strange marshmellow shapes. :wideeyed: Good news. Assuming the pilot gets picked up, I guess that means we'll see the show summer of 2010 at the earliest. I guess I don't need HBO until then. ;)[/quote] Me too. I will cancel my HBO subscription until I hear of the release of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
