yeah, it's not remotely fucking helpful for the production.

THR reported that it wasn't going to be a problem. Do you know something they don't?

It's never helpful when a principle actor is injured on a production. I was commenting on the comment that it would help with his performance, which makes no sense when he's an actor and can, you know, act.

 

[Funky Papa]

I just saw this old-ish picture taken a few days ago in Belfast.

Spot the Brienne.

- Via WiC.net, IFTN: 'Game of Thrones' Casting Rumours Begin Ahead of Comic-Con Panel

Sounds like we should get a few S3 casting announcements from the Comic-Con panel on Friday.


EDIT: IFTN notes that casting announcements are "expected to be made." No guarantees that we'll hear anything.

 

[Discotheque]

To hell with Brienne, is that Gareth bloody Keenan right beside her?

 

[bengraven]

And hopefully afterwards they'll go nuts.

Weird that we haven't gotten any announcements yet.

Kit Harrington can act?

 

[gutshot]

Yes, he has likely been cast as either Mance Rayder or Ramsay Snow.

 

[Discotheque]

I'm not a big fan of this show but if Gareth Keenan is Mance Rayder I will laugh my ass off and enjoy every second of it.

It would be strange casting though forreal.

apparently so, as he's employed as an actor... unless you think he's not a professional actor.

Just saw this.

And Chris fucking Finch, this show is amazing.

- WiC.net: Casting Rumors and Speculation, Part 2

A few of these tidbits have already been discussed in this thread, but it's worth a quick look if you want a summary of the latest rumors.

 

[Cornballer]

- Comic-Con posters from EW.com

HBO has teamed with Austin-based collectible arts boutique Mondo (of Alamo Drafthouse fame) to launch series of limited edition screen-printed posters to be released at Comic-Con this week. Below are new images by artists Martin Ansin, Vania Zouravliov and Daniel Danger. The posters will be gradually made available throughout the week at Mondo’s booth.

[Discotheque]

Wow, that second poster is fucking incredible.

edit: I mean the third one, didn't even notice the second.

I'm glad they finally were revealed. Fucking beautiful. I really dig the third one.

I hadn't heard about McGinley. Any idea who he'll be? Maybe

Spoiler

Beric

? Or maybe a fairly young take on

Spoiler

Edmure

?

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

Kit Harrington can act?

Possibly. Id like to see him play a non mentally challenged character before I make a final decision.

 

[Ark]

To be fair, all of the immediate Stark family are mentally challenged (and the Tully's, mostly).

God damn, I always knew my future wife had a nice ass. Maid of Tarth forever

 

[Dysun]

I'm good with Crook as Vargo or Ramsay
Not Mance

 

[Ark]

I could see him as Dondarrion too. I picture Mance much differently though.

 

[vitaminwateryum]

He fits perfectly for Vargo.

"Vargo is a tall, gaunt man with a long goatee and a necklace of coins from all the places where he has fought."

 

[DrForester]

ASOS stuff for Mance

Spoiler

Any chance at all they planned it out and had Mance's actor at the feast in Winterfell

 

[bengraven]

Yes, he has likely been cast as either Mance Rayder or Ramsay Snow.

 

[Fuzzy]

Forever? So you'd never have sex with her?

ASOS stuff for Mance

Spoiler

I really doubt they did but I would love it if it was true.

 

["God's Beard!"]

Why is ASOS so much better than the first two books? I read like 300 pages today and I'm supposed to be studying for midterms.

 

[DrForester]

I'm going through it pretty fast too. It's much faster paced. Thing happen and you want to know what happens next.

You are seriously one of the worst posters here. You don't want to read the books, now you want us to tell you why the book is good that you are already reading.

 

[Steelyuhas]

Spoiler

No not really, that's just not realistic from a TV production standpoint to *vague ASOS spoilers*

Spoiler

cast an actor several years in advance simply to be in a scene as an extra during the filming of season 1.

 

[Angry Grimace]

You are seriously one of the worst posters here. You don't want to read the books, now you want us to tell you why the book is good that you are already reading.

...it was a rhetorical question, dude.

 

[Anton Sugar]

I hope they work in that (ASOS)

Spoiler

filmed flashback of the Starks' death by Arys. Could easily bring it into Jaime's storyline.

 

[Tess3ract]

She wont be a maid very long with me, thats fur sur

Then it's ironic you're the one who lacks reading comprehension.

ASoS is basically one big payoff for most everything that gets setup in AGoT and ACoK.

I would love several episodes to focus on Arys and Rhegar when Jamie tells his tale. TV viewers really need to know more about these individuals.

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

Lol, good show. I just thought you were complaining about the books. I've only ever read the series and the bible.

 

[Thud]

Yes it is. Too bad there's a setback after ASOS.

Yeah, (ASoS)

Spoiler

Rhaegar especially. He's mentioned by several characters throughout ASoS.

Yes it is. Too bad there's a setback after ASOS.

Ugh. I'm wading through AFFC. I don't know how he managed to make even (AFFC)

Spoiler

Arya boring. She also just seems out of character, calling the "waif" in the temple "stupid" and thinking about smashing her face in. She feels less mature than what she earned in ASoS and ACoK.

And it bugs the shit out of me that he went from naming chapters after characters to this contrived "THE QUEENMAKER" crap. It's especially distracting with new characters that aren't particularly interesting.

 

[Thud]

No,

Spoiler

Arya is overall awesome. Very similar to Katniss in Hunger Games. Smart, naive and far too young.

 

[Steelyuhas]

Katniss sucks though, particularly in the third book. I wanted to punch her in the face nearly the whole time.

Spoiler

I actually really enjoyed the new characters in Feasts. I found Arya's chapter not as groovy as ASOS, but I liked them. I was a little disappointed at how little she's in AFFC. Hoping to see her more in ADWD.

I'll agree that I wish Martin simply named the characters in the chapter rather than nicknaming them, i.e. The Queenmaker.
