About to hit the 5000 post mark on the old thread, the first season 7 trailer today seems like the right time to start the final Game of Thones thread.
I'm going back to the original rules pre-2015. I don't think we need supervision or bannings. Just don't be a dick. Post anything you find online that hasn't aired yet inside of spoiler tags. That's pretty much it. I think we can all handle that...
Battles are infamously difficult to film. Actors have to learn and repeatedly execute insanely complex choreography; hundreds of extras have to be managed; and horses don’t care about your schedule. So, battles take a long time: the greatest ones yet, the Battle of the Bastards and the Loot Train ambush, each swallowed about a month of precious production time. If you understand that’s a lot, you’ll be properly impressed when you learn that the battle shoot we have been following since late January has now wrapped after 55 consecutive nights! Beware: known spoilers are discussed below!
The largest battle sequence ever in Game of Thrones has finally come to a close, after months of night shoots at the Moneyglass set in Toome and the Magheramorne green screen set.
And to the surprise of NOBODY, GRRM confirms that Winds of Winter will not be released in 2018. Instead he is releasing a 1,000 page book about the history of the Targaryan conquest or whatever.
I know this much, I'm not spending a damn dime on a new book that obviously took away a crap load of time he could have spent on finishing WoW and the 7th book. Sorry George, not going to happen. [Reply]

I become more and more convinced I'm right - he's got BOTH books done and sitting on his nightstand, and he's just waiting until the show is over to release them. And laughing at everyone that motherfucks him from afar. [Reply]

He could be doing both books, I've wondered about that too. As complex as they are, it would make some sense to try to get book 7 mostly done to be sure it all works together as it should. I'm afraid that is just wishful thinking though.
On the other hand, I can also kind of understand if he figures he should wait until the TV series ends at this point before putting out another book in the series. I hope you're right because if not, then it is just more and more likely the books never get finished. [Reply]

Damn right. I'm not sure at this point I will ever buy another of his books. [Reply]
