UjSizzle:
Ugh what a huge disappointment. I was hoping the Dragons were at least life-sized dolls... but what do I get? An oversized mopping stick and a golf club thingy

Lol...

Front page worthy. It's nice to see the scenes behind the scenes. Explorers good one as always. Incisive and educating.


Seun is a GOT fan so I guess this should hit the FP.

27. US Game of Thrones special effects editor, 29, mauled to death by lion when it pounced through open car window in South African safari park as tour guide relives moment he suffered heart attack trying to fend off the big cat. Chappell was visiting South Africa to work on the conservation of wildlife, and was raising funds for Wildlife, a conservation charity. June 2015.



* Chappell set off on her fateful trip to South Africa traveling through London.


* It was revealed that Miss Chappell was taking pictures when the lioness attacked her through her open window which was down despite advice to the contrary.


* This image captures the horrifying the moment the lioness reared up before attacking American tourist Katherine Chappell.


* Mauled: Chappell was reportedly dragged out the window of the vehicle. Park officials said they had told her to keep the windows shut. Pictured is a lioness at the park in 2010.

22. The Dothraki language is an entirely fictional language created for the show. The language is comprised of more than 3,000 words and was created by a linguist named David Peterson.

winetapper:
the funny part is the dragon would also be moving and talking to her

Nollywood still has more work to do

Long way to go...

kay9:

21. Extreme VFX: The magic behind the dragon.

20. The gate.

19. Khaleesi taking a break.

18. Kit Harrington.


* Game Of Thrones - Jon Snow.

17. This is what Margaery Tyrell's grandmother, The Queen of Thorns, looked like in the '60s.

16. Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Jamie Lannister, got his start in the movie Black Hawk Down.

15. The Horse heart was made of Gummy bears.


What about the scene where you're eating the horse’s heart? What was that actually made out of?


"That was one of those amazing scenes that you get as an actor that there’s just no acting required at all, it was disgusting. They promised me that it would taste similar to a gummy bear and it definitely didn’t. It was kind of like the best way to describe it is sort of a congealed jam kind of thing. On the out takes, there will be me heaving into a bucket. It’s such a reflex, when you taste something that’s just so revolting, you kind of instantly just want to get rid of it. It’s safe to say that I didn’t eat lunch that day".

14. The Moon Door.


The Moon Door is only one meter deep with the addition of a green screen to create the allusion of a never ending drop.

13. Joffrey Actor Jack Gleeson is Actually Very Nice, Loving, and quiet in the real life.


As the success of Game of Thrones has grown, so too has King Joffrey’s awfulness. Everyone’s favourite character is played by Irish actor, Jack Gleeson, who contrary to his character is really quite nice. The mild-mannered actor is a student of the prestigious Trinity College Dublin, where he is awarded a much sought-after scholarship in his subject. When he’s not got his head in the books at college, the blonde boy can frequently be spotted cycling around the city. He has also co-founded a new theatre group in the Irish capital, Collapsing Horse Theatre Company, with some fellow Trinity graduates. Yet another reason to visit the Emerald Isle.

12. Brienne Actress Gwendoline Christie is Even Taller than You’d Think.

The statuesque actress is an incredible 6 feet 3 inches and seems to have found her calling in the role of the honour-bound knight. Christie, who is 36 and graduated from the Drama Centre London in 2005, is so striking she was even the subject of a series of photographs from photographer Polly Borland. Her role in Game of Thrones is her first in a major television series making Christie one of the many rising stars from the series.

11. The Opening Titles were inspired by Leonardo Da Vinci’s Drawings.

The credits feature an interactive map of Westeros and at each location, mechanisms and landmarks are revealed. The turning wheels and cogs are said to represent the struggle for power in each of the kingdoms and bear a distinct resemblance to Da Vinci’s famous plans for his many inventions.

10. Peter Vaughan (Aemon Targaryen) is actually blind.


Actor Peter Vaughan, who plays Maester Aemon in Game of Thrones, has given us some of the most heartfelt scenes in the series. He may be slow moving, blind, and a little bitter at times, but he always gets his point across. Peter Vaughan is obviously a very talented actor, but what you may not know is that he is actually blind in real life. So besides having to act in the frigid cold at the age of 92, he is also doing so without the luxury of sight. This is quite impressive and gives a whole new perspective on the talent this actor possesses.

9. The humongous wall seen in Game Of Thrones actually rises only 18ft in the real life. The rest of the Wall was fitted into the show using computer generated imagery.

8. The giant Wun Wun is played by real life giant Ian Whyte, who at 7'1" also played Gregor 'The Mountain Who Rides' Clegane in season two

7. It took prop maker Gavin Jones a whooping two months to construct the humongous iron throne seen in "Game of thrones". It measures 8ft tall and its built out of a wooden frame and hundreds of heated swords

6. One of the most terrifying scenes in the sequence was legions of reanimated corpses hurling themselves over a cliffside. But the pre-production shot shows the stuntmen leaping onto a cushion floor just feet below.

5. In the year 2012, over 160 baby girls in the US were legally named "Khaleesi", after the character in the show. Though its just a title.
