jellydonut Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 All they need to do is to get rid of 'Roz' and maybe cut down the porn scenes by 90%. Then they'll have no trouble fitting the rest of the book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SerArthurHeath Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Well if they push off the Stark/Lannister war till next season then it should be ok. THeres so much good stuff after Neds arrest that it would be a shame to jam it all in 3 episodesNo the Stark Lannister war appears to still be in this season according to the episode guides. But I can't remember there being that much left- it can definitely be covered in 3 episodes at the current pace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arya The Assassin Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 George posted this on his blog on May 29th:I may have been guilty of premature froggery in the "Hiya, Kids" post below.Second season casting is in full swing, yes. And we're close on a few roles. Choices made, that is to say, but now we wait on HBO approval, and then of course we have to make a deal. Not all deals close, much as you would like them to. There's budget to consider, scheduling, all sorts of things. On other roles, well, we've seen a lot of readings, but we're not in love yet. So the auditions continue. In Ireland, in London, even in LA.Bottom line: no one has been cast yet, so stop holding your breath.When we do sign some new cast, Froggy will give you the hints. (Unless someone else breaks the news first).((Or unless it's after June 13. That's the day I leave for Poland. I'll be out of the loop while overseas, so after that date, the announcements are more like to come from elsewhere)). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonAge93 Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Ever since someone mentioned it, I want Eva Green to play Melisandre. The way she plays Morgan in Camelot kind of gives me a Melisandre vibe. The way she handles magic in it, she could do very well in GoT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reinhart Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I think they will put most of that material into the last 3 episodes. While it is a lot of material, given they have covered around 66% of the book in 70% of the screentime, they have shown they can remain on that track quite wellYeah I was thinking the same thing. I really hope they don't condense the Lannister/Stark war into a "scuffle" on an open plain (which, narrative-wise... you COULD probably pull off). Part of me is still hoping the last episode is going to be a 2.5 hour extravaganza and HBO just hasn't told us yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madking Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 So on grrms latest not a blog he states that they have approved several cast members and that he could give us "madmen" a hint but we would solve it in twelve seconds. My question is is the madmen a clue itself refering to the show? Maybe we'll get January Jones as Melissandre? :drool: or maybe christina hendricks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abaddon Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 He said he cant give a hint because the actors aren't signed yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madking Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 He said he cant give a hint because the actors aren't signed yet.Then why use the term madmen? Nah he used that word for a reason maybe just for mischievous fun, but I bet we will see a "Madmen" cast member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangers30 Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 OK what Brits are there in the Mad Men cast? Jared Harris is the main one I can think of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iheartseverus Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 And what about us 'madmen' solving it 'in twelve seconds.' Does that mean anything to anybody here? (I've never seen 'Mad Men') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godlikebuthumble Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Maybe we'll get January Jones as Melissandre? :drool: Oh god. Seriously, Jones couldnt act her way onto the ground if you threw her out of a plane. ...Plus, Hendricks would make way better eye-candy ;)And what about us 'madmen' solving it 'in twelve seconds.' Does that mean anything to anybody here? (I've never seen 'Mad Men')Might mean we're madmen who tend to overanalyze every single thing he writes on his NAB. Or not. Dun Dun DUUUUNNNNNHHHH!

iheartseverus Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 This delicious little tidbit from the producers via a new interview with EW: (Bolding in DB's answer is mine)Does Sean leaving the show open up the possibility of hiring another star for characters who are introduced in season two?DB: There are a bunch of names up for discussion, so it's quite possible. Certainly there hasn't been any kind of mandate that we need to cast big names, but there are some well known actors who would be great for certain roles.

Padraig Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I'd rather they forego the big name star and spend the extra money on a battle scene or two, personally.I'm thinking it is likely we are going to get at least one reasonably known star.Given GRRM has said that he is writing the Blackwater episode, I have to assume we are going to see that battle. Given they don't have as much start-up costs in S2, they might have a bit more to spend on that battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shael Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I want Michael McKean, Harry Shearer, and Christopher Guest as Chyswick, Shitmouth, and the Tickler, respectively. GRRM, make it happen. You bastard. <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madking Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Id like to see Marion Cottilard as Melissandre :) not sure if I spelled her last name right. I was rewatching "Inception" and thought the actress that plays Mal would be awesome.PS: Maybe Its just because id like to see her ummm "attributes" on display ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If frenchness is needed, take Eva Green, she'd be perfect for the role! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way she handles magic in it, she could do very well in GoT.you must be watching a different camelot to me, absolutely appaling. really really disapointed with eva green's performance.and apart from anything else there is no way she would play a similar role in 2 'rival' programs.

Werthead Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I thought Camelot was coming back for a second season? That would rule her out automatically, as the two shows will be filming simultaneously (unless she dies in the final episode; only seen up to the second episode but I'm not going to last the season if it doesn't radically improve soon).
