antisocial Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Is this legit? Its dated Wednesday, 07 March 2007 something like 8 months (I think) before it was confirmed that HBO got the rights to do the pilot.And this really made my stomach knot up. (I do understand that things HAVE to change for a TV adaption..but my god that sound so B-movie'ish).Quote:"Gregor Clegane is a huge knight a result of experiments by Qyburn who was working on a master project to build an "undefeatable champion" . He ordered a massive suit of armor, too huge to be worn by any human, for this purpose. His extended experiments on Gregor Clegane seem to factor into the size of his final creation."

Romulocks Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 For sheer size of shoulders I think I'd prefer Nathan Jones. But definitely a close second. They both look brutal. Camera tricks for size could really work wonders on a guy that size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brude Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 They won't be casting Gregor unless and until the show gets picked up. Right now they are only casting the pilot and Gregor doesn't appear in that episode. I don't think he shows up until the Tourney of the Hand, or perhaps a bit earlier standing around at Court - but he doesn't make a big splash until the tourney, at any rate.

TheHalfman Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Yeah I'd have to agree with the rest, if Nathan Jones isn't availiable, this guy is a great choice. Although I am sure there is some big guy out there no one has every heard of that would be great too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would make an excellent Gregor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pita Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 This guy is what I pictured Gregor like. He needs some hair on his head, but yeah.I was beginning to think Kevin Durand, but this guy looks better. I hope he's good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon wolf Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Is there a thread that lists all the oversized characters in ASoIaF? Because HBO is going to need quite of few of these big guys. From the Mountain that Rides on down:1) Gregor Clegane2) Hodor3) Sandor Clegane4) Khal Drogo5) GreatJon Umber6) Robert BaratheonI know I am missing a ton more.

Rimmer Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 There's also Brienne, and Jaime is no midget. There are probably more huge adult characters than normal-sized ones in ASOIAF. They could even get away with average-sized actors for the big characters and shorter actors for the average characters, as long as the ratios work out.

dragon wolf Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Left and Right. Don't forget them.Also forgot Areo Hotah. There is also supposed to be a huge Iron Born who is better at the finger dance/fiercer warrior than Clegjaw, something "the Maid" is all I remember. And not sure if Fat Belwas is supposed to be as tall as he is wide. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogbebaba Posted October 9, 2009 Author Share Posted October 9, 2009 A wile back I emailed Conan asking about the audition and today he sends me the following emailHi John, I never said I was auditioning for GoT, but here is news on the audition that everyone thinks is GoT: http://www.conanstevens.com/acting-movies-...s-audition.html :)Well at least we know he has a sense of humor.although maybe he forgot we exchanged emails about GOT way back in November of 2008 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qarl the Maid's a much younger guy, very short appearance in Clash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
