You think he’s walking through that airport thinking: “Shite, I should have asked for more money?”Ī question about this supposed flashback: if they by chance started the first episode with ToJ flashback, the common viewer (who has not read the books) would understand what was going on? I don’t think so. You cannot have watched this show, and watch your character grow all these years, and not feel gut-kicked over the way your arc plays out. I hope it’s not, “F–k yes, thank f–k he’s dead.”ĮW: I think they’ll be heartbroken-even those who are like, “Tyrion is my favorite character” or whatnot. It’s really the way Thrones does things and I will be really interested to see the audience reaction. Within the whole interview, he talks about the Sopranos walk, and how D & D handled it, but I’ve copied the part that refers to his uncertainty:ĮW: Last year you said the one thing you really want is for your character to learn that. I will check those out to see – it was in a couple of places where he expressed uncertainty – I found this interview, posted by Entertainment Weekly on June 14 right after the last episode aired. I am not sure if one of those is the one you refer to. At that stage he would not have had access to that information.ĭeesensfan: Those two interviews occurred the week before the finale… I find it funny that he was doing promos prior to being killed off or was he doing them for another movie? The funny thing is that the interview from Entertainment Weekly where Kit Harington says that he would not be there for season 6, was actually conducted around 7-8 months ago.Īt that stage the season 6 scripts wasn’t even written yet, Kit Harington very likely just went overboard in his attempts to persuade people that Jon was truly gone from the show. He could cut about half off that would grow back by this time next year, after he is out of Ireland this time. But if they are only filming the “death/burial/burning scene conclusion” it won’t take that long and the hairgate is still a go.
I know it sounds goofy to bring it up again. Maybe it could be taken to mean “I won’t have anything new in season 6 to film”. But it does mean that “I won’t be in season 6″ statement was an out and out falsehood. Even if only for the burial/burning scene…that couldn’t wait a whole season. JCDavis: It was going to happen sooner or later. Thanks to WotW reader HermionePond for the heads up on this one! The actor could play a variety of parts needed for the filming that was scheduled to begin this week but most likely he doesn’t have a large role. Given that Spain is hosting multiple in-show locations this year (potentially some new ones in Westeros) and almost all show interior scenes are filmed in Belfast, it’s difficult to glean much info from the announcement. Belfast this week and Spain in October! /zcL4w6xh8i Honestly, at this point, does ANYONE believe Jon Snow is staying dead for good?Īccording to Alex Cusack Management, Irish actor Eddie Jackson has won an unspecified role on Game of Thrones.Ĭongrats to my man Eddie Jackson who has landed a role in Game of Thrones.
Harington has also refused to take photos with any fans in Belfast recently, according to several Twitter mentions. But considering how many visits he’s had to Belfast in the past couple months of pre-production, I find it very difficult to believe. Is it possible Harington is there to simply film a funeral/play a dead body? Technically. The cast table read happened a couple days ago and is done with, but filming was due to begin this week, so it’s no surprise that some actors are returning to Northern Ireland. So once again it’s back to Belfast, the major home of Game of Thrones production for a supposedly dead main character.
