[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”16914″ img_size=”800×450″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]50 days. 50 consecutive days. That was the amount of time the cast and crew of Game of Thrones spent filming the immense battle scene against the Night King for the final season. According to show creators David Benioff and Dan Weiss, this will exceed the scale of the Battle of the Bastards.
In terms of sheer scope, there is a lot in this season that outstrips the ‘Battle of the Bastards’ sequence so expertly directed by Miguel Sapochnik. We can say this without feeling bad, since most of it was also expertly directed by Miguel Sapochnik.
That is high praise as the battle scenes in BOB were considered by many, the high water mark of the series for scope and intense conflict. This coming from a series that has brought us Blackwater, Watchers on the Wall, Hardhome, The Spoils of War and Beyond the Wall.
In addition to the immense battle, a few other details have been revealed. According to EW, it appears Jon Snow (Kit Harington), Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke), Arya and Sansa Stark (Maisie Williams and Sophie Turner), Brienne of Tarth (Gwendoline Christie) and Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage) will all live long enough to experience this battle. The question will be how many of them come out the other side.
For you Samwell Tarley fans (and let’s face it, aren’t we all), Sam will get an opportunity to wield his family’s Valarian sword, Heartsbane. All hail “Sam the Slayer!”
I have to admit, every new detail makes me more excited and apprehensive at the same time for this season. Share your feelings about what promises to be the most talked about Game of Throne season ever with us at GVNation.
