GAME OF THRONES - PART 7 - *NO BOOK TALK - READ THE RULES*

I hope we at least get Neil Marshall then (director of Blackwater and Watchers On The Wall).

Hopefully GRRM will write an episode or 2. Blackwater is arguably better than BotB because it focused on the small character moments that he excells at.

Maybe Sapochnik has other commitments but I'm sure he'll be back in season 8. He's only gone and directed arguably the two greatest episodes of the show back to back. They won't just let him walk.

I'm really impressed with how well he seems to handle huge spectacles. The pacing is always fantastic(Hardhome, BOTB, WoW) such that with so much going on, you're not lost at all.

It’s the first official news about Game of Thrones season 7: The next outing of the international fantasy sensation has lined up four acclaimed directors to tackle the 2017 season – including a founding Thrones veteran who’s returning to the show after directing major Hollywood films.

The first thing savvy Thrones fans will notice about this list is the number of names. In recent years, Thrones has employed five directors to helm two episodes each. HBO has not yet publicly confirmed the plan by Thrones showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss to reduce next season to seven episodes. But given that there are fewer directors on board for season 7, viewers can take that as a sign that things will be different next year.

Here are the directors signed on for season 7:

— Alan Taylor: An Emmy-winning veteran of The Sopranos, Taylor helped pioneer the visual storytelling style of the show when he helmed the pivotal ninth and 10th episodes of season 1, particularly “Baelor” (the episode where Ned Stark was executed). The Thrones producers were so impressed they gave Taylor four episodes to helm in season 2 – including the premiere and the finale. Then Marvel snatched him up for Thor: The Dark World followed by Taylor reuniting with Emilia Clarke to direct her big-screen role in Terminator: Genisys. Now he’s back on Thrones for the first time since 2012.

– Jeremy Podeswa: The Canadian director and Boardwalk Empire veteran scored an Emmy nomination for directing the show’s most controversial hour, season 5’s darkly tense “Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken.” This year he directed the propulsive season premiere as well as Jon Snow’s riveting resurrection episode, “Home.”

– Mark Mylod: A four-time director on the show, the British veteran of Showtime’s Shameless and HBO’s Entourage took on this season’s uniquely textured re-introduction of the The Hound in “The Broken Man,” as well as Arya’s exciting chase sequence in “No One.”

– Matt Shakman: A newcomer to the series. Shakman is best known for his work on FX’s It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, a comedy loved by Benioff and Weiss (the showrunners even wrote an episode, “Flowers for Charlie,” although it’s not one of the 39 episodes Shakman has directed). Shakman has also helmed episodes of AMC’s Mad Men, CBS’ The Good Wife and FX’s Fargo.

There are a few notable GoT veterans sitting out next year, such as Miguel Sapochnik – the director of this season’s hugely impressive “Battle of the Bastards” and Sunday’s explosive finale. Also: The Red Wedding helmer David Nutter, who won an Emmy for directing season 5’s finale, “Mother’s Mercy.” But perhaps they’ll return for the eighth (and presumed final) season?

In another item of behind-the-camera Thrones news, the showrunners are welcoming back costume designer Michele Clapton for season 7. The Emmy winner was in charge of the show’s costume department for the first five seasons, spent some time away from the show in season 6, then returned with some Twitter-exploding work in the final two episodes of the season – such as Cersei Lannister’s funeral-black battle dress.

“We were thrilled to have Michele Clapton back for both the ninth and 10th episodes of this season, and for season 7 and beyond,” Benioff and Weiss said in a statement. “From the beginning, her brilliantly groundbreaking work has been so central to the look and feel of the show. Cersei’s costumes for the season 6 finale are the best we’ve ever had and we can’t wait to see what the incredibly talented Michele comes up with next year.”

Tbh I really think you're overestimating the importance of a director on TV. There's a reason they're not doing films. They have no creative control and basically have to follow a script and imitate a style. It's not as important as in film.

Just realized how much I miss Robb Stark on the show


Such a GOAT character.

I liked how Robb treated Jon and was generally a nice guy but he was an idiot. Could have conquered the entire westeros if it wasn't for his hormones

Just found out Miguel Sapochnik is a british lad and also directed several episodes of House

no wonder he is GOAT


I don't think he is needed in season 7 as much as he is needed in 8. 7 is probably going to be more political and 8 action packed

Robb and Jon were best friends. I remember Jon going into depression after he learns of Red Wedding in the book combined with Ygritte dying.

Yea they both were really close. Probably was an age thing but one thing I admired about catelyn was that she never put hatred in her kids against Jon. Sansa was the only one who acted harshly against Jon. Everyone else really liked him

It's bad enough that she hated a kid just because he wasn't hers. The poor thing was treated badly for things he had nothing to do with. He was forced to eat alone and hide his face when distinguished guests would come to visit. That was all Catelyng.

When he came to check out on Bran after he fell from the tower, she told him to get out.

She was really, really mean to him, and frighteningly dumb, definitely one of the main reasons House Stark lost so many battles and almost lost the war. Actually, House Tully was filled with idiots, especially their second generation (Catelyn, Lysa and Edmure). Only The Blackfish was decent enough.

That she was. One of the reasons not many likes her. If only she knew the truth.

But tbh eventhough Jon isn't Ned's son. He really is closest to Ned of all the kids. Shows how adoptive parents ARE the real parents. Jon is 95% Ned. Everything he says. Everything he does. He even repeats his lines lol. Shame Catelyn had nothing but hatred for him.

--------------------

That girl who plays Lyanna mormont isn't allowed to watch the show by her parents as she is only 12 She was only given some small snippets that were safe to watch lmao

As if she hasn't watched it on her own. I watched more disturbing things when I was 12 on the internet than I do these days

I had access to all sorts of shit from a young age, I turned out just fine ffs haven't killed anybody in a fit of unnecessary rage in nearly 3 weeks now

If ever there were two stronger arguments in support of her parents' decision...

(:

Agreed. A clean criminal record and being an A-student all through my life. Shame to think what would I could've become if I didn't watch r-rated material when I was hitting puberty.

RO being a prick as always. Nothing new to see here.

Mate, it was a joke.

2nd time you have lashed out now on innocent civilians

GL roid rage

Roids are underrated.

That was probably because Sansa so really wanted to be like her mother so she acted like her in many ways lol
