We reported on this in another post, but the rumors continue to swirl and so we thought it deserved its own post. We are now hearing from multiple sources that HBO plans to order both seasons three and four and film them back-to-back (a la Lord of the Rings). It has already been confirmed that A Storm of Swords would be covered in more than one season. From what we have heard, much of the film crew in Northern Ireland has been told of this plan and has been advised to expect nine months of filming next year. Winter Is Coming: I have no doubt that this is an option that HBO is exploring, perhaps even leaning towards, but I don’t think it is a done deal just yet. HBO likely won’t announce anything official until season two begins, so they could change their minds before then. It does make sense though, to do it this way, as they’ve already said they will be splitting book three into multiple seasons. This way they get the whole of the book filmed in one go, saving on production costs and keeping the kids from aging in between seasons.
yea I think this is the most important thing. they could always recast, but I thought Spoiler the little girl that played Arya was great, I would hate for them to have to recast because of age.
makes sense. Although according to the book they all already too old. Book 3 is very important for them. if they don't crush it for seasons 3 and 4 I'm skeptical hippo they make it much further past.
I think though by filming 3 and 4 back-to-back that characters ages will actually be closer than they were in Season 1. If they waited too long, I think Spoiler Sansa, Arya and Bran would be too old by Season 4 three years from now.
Agree. She should have been a little younger and also I think Cersei should have been a tad younger as well.
** Lets try not to confirm characters being alive or dead in the 3rd and 4th season for those who haven't read that far but still watch the show. **
i dont know if they should have made cersei younger, but the chick that plays her is really hot as a brunette in real life. obviously they can't do that, but i still think they are playing down her hotness which is weird since cersei is supposed to be gorgeous.
I think Cersei is pretty fly but the hard part is that the book makes her out to be like the baddest chick in the land and that's obviously tough to cast.
