More from EW: Exclusive report from the Game of Thrones set
Entertainment Weekly continues their exclusive first look at HBO’s Game of Thrones with this report from the set by TV writer Jennifer Armstrong. The report talks primarily about the dedication of the cast and crew to getting this project right, for the fans. Here’s an excerpt, check out the full report to read quotes from David Benioff, D. B. Weiss and Jason Momoa:
HBO takes the task of bringing George R.R. Martin’s bestselling epic fantasy series, Game of Thrones, to the small screen quite seriously. Witness: Dozens of staffers sewing and embroidering Medieval-style dresses, hand-crafting chain mail, drying and aging fabric, and hammering armor. A crew member spending an hour meticulously skimming a lagoon before it could serve as the setting for a talk between Lord Eddard Stark (Sean Bean) and his wife, Catelyn (Michelle Fairley) — and this after set designers found the perfect tree in the middle of a Northern Ireland forest, painted it white, and dressed it with red leaves. In pouring rain. In ankle-deep mud.
Winter Is Coming: Fantastic stuff. This day keeps getting better and better. And thanks to EW.com for the link! Love to hear this story about creating the Winterfell heart tree. It is going to be amazing to see. And the quotes from Momoa, Benioff and Weiss are great as well. Weiss seems like a pretty funny guy! And to top it all off, EW promises more photos in their magazine spread tomorrow! Can’t wait. Great job HBO and Entertainment Weekly. The buzz is building!
