Westeros Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 HBO has sent us word—in the midst of Golden Globe madness—that they are in fact airing a new promo piece for Game of Thrones right before the start of the final season premiere of Big Love, at 9PM Eastern. Tune in at 8:45PM to watch a special pre-show which will include this teaser! It sounds like Making Game of Thrones is likely to release a new photo right around that time and, we hope, an on-line stream of the new promo piece. From what we’ve heard, this may be the same, short trailer shown to critics at the opening of the presentation last Friday at the Winter TCA.Visit the Site!

So1ar Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 ghost does look awesome. i really like their design of the iron throne. i wish robert was holding his war hammer instead of a spear. also, jaime's quote at the end nailed it imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZombieWife Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 These are great to watch.This one just gave me chills. That was Jaime at the end, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Varys Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 It's good to get a 'confirmation' of sorts that Littlefinger truly is after that gruesome Iron Chair ;-). Seeing Jon there was too much, I think, and really is also a 'confirmation' of sorts which I don't want to get through this series, but in the books!

Brude Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Great trailer. The design of the Iron Throne is fairly close to how I imagined it, though with a more awesome splay of swords making up the back - it looks better than I imagined, is what I'm saying.I love all the quotes. I wonder if they got that from the discussions we had at the focus groups. The idea of using quotes on posters was mentioned, like people had done on those fan made posters. Not the same quotes, but the same general idea.The final unfurling of the raven's wings seemingly out of the Iron Throne with the title was really cool, too.I noticed the font in the teaser is different from the tie-in book cover we saw, so I'm thinking the book cover artwork is just temporary now. I wonder what it will look like when it comes out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Varys,I don't think Catelyn is after the Iron Throne, nor Ned. ;) This is purely a sort of symbolic teaser, and in no way are the characters being on the throne supposed to suggest anything about their actual motives or futures. It's just ... images. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, they have Catelyn in the chair too. They just took many of the main characters and featured them in that one setting to get across the idea of people fighting against each other for control, power, etc. and that it all centers around the throne.

Lord Varys Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Well, Cat and Ned are at least involved in the political power struggles... And Ned came as close as a Stark can get to the Iron Throne. He was, after all, Hand of the King, Lord Regent, and Lord Protector of the Realm.But Jon has no part in all of that. Sure, I know that this is a teaser to introduce out main characters, but still, the choice can be interpreted in a certain way. And it's interesting that Littlefinger, who is not really a main character, is there as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tall Tyrion Lannister! Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 The Iron Throne isn't how I imagined it, but then again i imagined it alot different then others. Badass trailer though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fez Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Saw it when it was first on at 9, but I was still really drunk after watching the football games today, so now that I'm feeling a little more sober I just watched the promo again and I gotta say: I really like it. While I did easily recognize some of the quotes from the book, like Tyrion's one, a lot of them seemed new. Also, I have no clue who was saying that last line about killing everyone.That's not a complaint of course, much like everything else that has come out about the series, I really liked this promo. The Iron Throne looks amazing. It was one of the fear things I could never really properly picture in my head and usually just gave up on, I'm glad someone in production has a better imagination then me because it looks great.

Tall Tyrion Lannister! Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I think that's what Jaime says right before "The things I do for love" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Along with epic flashes and music pumping and banging and Ned clearly being heard "youre my blood" and everything...The throne looked to clean and safely melded, lacks more sharp edges and parts of blades.And was that horrible, painful, booing voice over of Winter being: "this one will be long (oh noes!) uuuuuu.... and dark... uhuuuuu" - necessary?

sorro99 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I really really loved this promo it was full of menace and show the characters would off eachother if they got the chance. I really liked Eddards line"If you kill me your brother's a dead man". I just loved the sense of malice in it its just what I got from the book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Godric Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I thought if there was one way to capture what the show was about in a teaser trailer it was this. I loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MirriMaz Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Oh this is amazing, I knew when I woke up this morning that I should check the Making Of Site (I went to bed before the announcement was made) and THIS is what I find.I love the design and the new animation with the raven in the end and the new logo. I like Roberts lines, he sounds just like I expected him to be and Catelyn as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The SmilingKnight Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 That was master Aemon? Dear god!Both him and Old Nan are to be some caricatures that wildly overblow every line about winter as if theyre trying to scare some kids in a kamp? I mean they could not overplay it more if they tried. Ghastly.What Jaime line?That "ill kill everyone..."?Looked just schizophrenic silly to me. .. and i should know.
