First Pictures from Game of Thrones Filming at Sibenik Cathedral
OOOOOH. Don’t you just love the “Hurry Up and Wait” shots of everyone in costume waiting to start filming?
So everyone knows, I am super excited for the scenes next season between Cersei Lannister and the man who will become the next High Septon in King’s Landing, the High Sparrow. Not only for the plot points, which I will not spoil here, but for watching the interactions between Lena Headey and Jonathan Pryce who is a fantastic actor. Game of Thrones always manages to cast such high caliber actors.
(Note: I guessed wrong as to where this was. that’s what happens when you’re taking tips from newspapers and blogs written in a language you don’t speak. Sorry guys.)
The following photos were sent to us by a tipster who told us the following: “The area is cordoned off so nobody can access it but people who live by the cathedral have an unrestricted view.”
Can you imagine looking down from your apartment on the Cathedral courtyard and watch the show get filmed every day? I would take every vacation and sick day I have and then some for that. So cool.
The views are from very high up, and there’s no zooming in, so it’s hard to tell who is who. Feel free to try and identify in the comments!
According to SibenskiPortal.hr, who were the ones to publish these photographs from the locals, there are more than 200 extra in this scene. One of whom includes Sibenik Deputy Mayor Daniel Mile. (If you were Deputy Mayor, you’d pull rank to get in as an extra too–admit it.)
