Another new trailer, but nothing really noteworthy in it

Re: Game of Thrones (HBO) Season 2: Casting, News
Nothing new in terms of plot, but damned if that Florence+the Machine music didn't fit perfectly. Looks like they spent more money this time around.

^ Is that trick photography to make Grey Wind look bigger, or just the way the camera is angled?

Re: Game of Thrones (HBO) Season 2: Casting, News
He's supposed to be that big, so I imagine they are doing some kind of trick photography/forced perspective thing.

Re: Game of Thrones (HBO) Season 2: Casting, News
Yeah, I wonder how they're going to handle the dire wolves because they're supposed to be really big.
Forced perspective and other photography tricks, aren't exactly practical techniques that can be employed frequently. And the CGI could potentially cost a fortune. I wonder if they won't keep the wolves in the background and use them sparingly. |

^ I think forced perspective might be mandatory for season three where, if they follow the books, they find

Re: Game of Thrones (HBO) Season 2: Casting, News
I read somewhere that a lot of the dire wolf scenes will be CGI this season.

Re: Game of Thrones (HBO) Season 2: Casting, News
^ I guess they can do that at this point. What I have seen so far in the previews indicates that they really spared no expense in making this season look as grand as possible.

Good news, everyone! According to the Season 1 commentary, Roz the Whore will not only be back for Season 2, but she'll be a "major character".

It's not Asha/Arya that's the problem. It's Asha/Osha.

Re: Game of Thrones (HBO) Season 2: Casting, News
EW had an article about the upcoming season. They plan to split the third book into two seasons. A wise approach IMO, as not only is it huge in length, but they need to spread out the seasons to give Martin enough time to finish the stories! Of course given his recent pace there's a good chance they could try making each chapter in his books an ep. to itself and him still not be finished. ;)

Those two books presented a lot of logistical problems for him. He had originally planned to jump ahead several years in time between books three and four, but scrapped those plans and started over. He also had to split the fourth book into two books (the first half ended up being AFFC), and had trouble writing ADWD because he had to get certain characters in certain places and couldn't get that done. Now that he has all of this worked out, we can hope that he'll be able to write the final two books with less difficulty. |
Re: Game of Thrones (HBO) Season 2: Casting, News
If they get to books four and five, I'm curious if HBO will try to combine them at once and split them over a season or two as well, since AFFC doesn't have as many of the familiar characters from the series.
Also, they apparently spent a bit more money on this season to film the battle sequence for Kings Landing. Nice to know they decided not to skimp. |

Season 2: book 2 Season 3: bits from book 2, book 3 Season 4: book 3, bits from book 4 Season 5: book 4 and book 5 (13+ episodes) Season 6: book 6 (13+ episodes) Season 7: book 7 (13+ episodes) 7 seasons would be about right |

Also a bit curious if they'll start to condense the storyline down a bit, and not bring in all of the characters and plot elements from the books. There are so many characters with subplots in the books that it could really bog down a television series if they all need to be serviced. |
