Ellaria Sand cast: 'Game of Thrones' casts 'Rome' actress for season 4 | Inside TV | EW.com (http://insidetv.ew.com/2013/07/25/game-of-thrones-rome-actress/)

45176

[Jinx]

Could be the lighting, but she looks waaay too old to be Ellaria.

[Lonely Paper Star]

I liked this actress in Luther and her 2-3 eps in Torchwood, so I'm supportive of her being in the show. I don't remember how old Ellaria is supposed to be, though.

Now I'm keeping my fingers crossed for BenWeiss to not smurf up Arianne's casting.

[Jinx]

I think she's supposed to be in her early 30s. This actress looks like she's in her mid 40s.

[Lonely Paper Star]

It seems that she turned 40 a few months ago. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indira_Varma)

[Jinx]

WELL STILL


Eh, I'll see how she acts the role before I make any other judgments. :D She's bound to be better than Emilia Clarke, at least.

[Shlup]

talking about dogs.. do you think Arya and Nymeria (her direwolf she chased away to save) will ever be reunited?

This is seriously the only thing I care about in this show's end game.

What about Gendry? Arya has to grow up to be a super badass assassin and reunite with Nymeria and then they run into Gendry and he's like "Hey let's life happily ever after!" and then they do.

As Gendrya shipper, I approve of this.

[Cuchulainn]

Ellaria Sand is absolutely perfectly cast in my eyes. I know the actress too.

Ellaria Sand's age is never mentioned but it stands to reason she'd be late 30s, early 40s.

[Jinx]

How do you know her, Cuch? That's kind of cool.

[The Man]

Being familiar with her work in Human Target and Torchwood, I can confidently say that she'll be great in the role.

[Cuchulainn]

It's a shame they can't shoot the series in, like, 10800p or something. Holy shit. Michele Carragher deserves an Emmy or something.

[Shlup]

Holy burrito, I never would've noticed those details. Does the designer have like a team of slave children with their tiny fingers construct these?

The attention to detail is very impressive, especially for things most viewers wouldn't even notice.

[Rantz]

It's definitely a shame that gorgeous details like that go unnoticed so easily, but at the same time it all adds to the great atmosphere even if you don't consciously notice it.

Edit: Just noticed the acorns on Arya's thing, that's awesome. Did she ever even go to Acorn Hall in the show? I don't think she did.

[Lonely Paper Star]

Nope. No Acorn Hall. D:

Man, the embroidery is crazy. It makes the costumes ten times more amazing and the characters look ten times richer than they already are, somehow.

[Jinx]

Always thought Catelyn's collar looked gross and like it was falling apart. I didn't realize it was embroidery that was making it textured, not the ravages of travel and war and wearing the same outfit for 2 years.

[Quindiana Jones]

I didn't know Ellaria Sand was from Somerset. Awesome.

[yukina]

Crazy embroidery. We need better resolution and bigger TVs :))

Roger Ashton-Griffiths has been cast as Mace Tyrell.

45334

Book Description

He is handsome and a once powerful looking man, but has since turned to fat. He has curly brown hair and cuts his beard into a triangular shape that has white spots within it.

He is a prematurely old and tedious man lacking in political savvy. His sole military accomplishment was the Siege of Storm's End. Though he has tried to use the Battle of Ashford as evidence of strategic brilliance, he actually had little to do with the fighting as the battle was won by his vanguard, led by Randyll Tarly, before his main force entered the field.

Couldnt be further from it if they tried

[Mahad]

Does any one know when the S3 dvd will release?

[Ouch!]

About two weeks before season four starts, if previous releases are any indication.

[Mahad]

That's too bad. I was hoping it would be sooner. Agh. Now that I finally got to watch all of season 2 and seen all the different detials added and changes, I'm more comfortable with how the story is going, to some degree. Disappointed with the battle at the Blackwater Bay, but budget must have been the reason it was kept so short.

[Bolivar]

For anyone interested in Westerosi history, an excerpt of The Princess and the Queen (http://www.tor.com/stories/2013/07/dangerous-women-george-r-r-martin-excerpt), GRRM's novella in his upcoming anthology, has been released on Tor.com, along with a review!

I really need to read those novellas. They'll help me fill the void until the show returns.

I'll be curious to see what he can do with the role, and what the costumes and makeup people can do with him, but I agree that at least in that picture he looks quite far from the part. xD

[Bunny]

The same things were said about Brienne after her casting was announced.

[Raistlin]

I'm with Bunny. I generally suspend skepticism about casting until I see the character in action.

[Rantz]

I suspend judgement, but I allow myself to be skeptic/wonder. :p

[Shlup]

The same things were said about Brienne after her casting was announced.

Really? I thought the casting was fabulous from the first time I saw her.

Though I have full faith in their casting regardless.

[Shorty]

10/10 I APPROVE

[Shlup]

Re-castings always bum me out, but he looks like a good Daario at least.

[Del Murder]

I don't even remember who Daario is. Too many damn characters to keep track of in this show.

[Shlup]

Daario is the guy who flirted with Dany by bringing her his partners' heads and then helped Jorah and Barristan ransack Yunkai.

[Miriel]

Oh! Neat! I thought the actor who played him originally was a bit too... I dunno smirk-y. He liked to smirk a lot. Although maybe that was the character and not the actor.

[Rantz]

Daario is a very smirky character. xD

[Jinx]

they did the same with Jane Seymour in The Tudors (though i must say it was an improvement in that case)

Yea i didn't like the season 2 mountain. Too wirey. Conan Stevens was perfect but as we all know he's still tied up in the Hobbit films. I'll see how this new fella does but he's certainly big enough.

[The Man]

Ah, yes, now it makes sense :monster:

[Formalhaut]

Season Four is the season of the recastings.

In Tommen's case, it makes sense. He's a very minor character so far, and naturally, when he becomes more prominent, and heck, I guess older, he'd need to change. I can understand Tommen's recasting.

[Bunny]

The Wertzone: Casting and recasting news for GAME OF THRONES (http://thewertzone.blogspot.com/2013/09/casting-and-recasting-news-for-game-of.html)

This is a pretty decent rundown of the new castings and recastings for Season 4.

[Formalhaut]

Great link. This bit about Tommen's re-casting is simply hilarious:



Dean-Charles Chapman is a young British actor who recently had his big break appearing in four episodes of The White Queen as Richard Grey. Before that he played the doomed role of Martyn Lannister on, erm, Game of Thrones. Confusingly, Chapman has been re-recruited to play the role of Tommen Lannister, replacing Callum Wharry who played the role in the first two seasons (most noticeably in the episode Blackwater).

I know Martyn Lannister was a incredibly small role, but it's pretty funny. It's like recycling actors.

Just found out Bronze Yohn Royce has been cast (Rupert Vansittart). Such a minor character (so far) but has an amazing presence. I'm sure he has a bigger future in the books is George advised his casting. Also cast has been Lady Anya Waynwood (Paola Dionisotti).

Surpised to see Dontos Hollard return, probably an expansion of the Sansa story, returning a bit to the books.

[Bolivar]

That's pretty interesting. It seems a certain big event is going to happen early and the Lords Declarant arc will be happening soon; I don't see them introducing all those characters in the last episode if the second big big jaw-dropping event of ASoS is the penultimate episode. So this season should cover a good deal of Feast.

George better keep writing. They could overtake him by 2015 at this rate.

[Jinx]

I think he'll probably be okay for The Winds of Winter, but he is most certainly screwed for A Dream of Spring.

So there's rumors of telltale games working on a Game of Thrones game. Telltale recently said they are excited about their "dream IP" but haven't confirmed.

If you haven't played The Walking Dead game by telltale, do it. It's amazing. Easily one of the best games in this past generations. Not a Zombie fan? Try their new Wolf Among Us. It's based on the fables comic book that interacts with fables, like the big bad wolf(for which it gets its name), in modern NYC. Telltale games are released in episodic portions and focus heavily on character development and player choices. So your interactions willc arry and effect each new installment. They are awesome. Play them.

I hope GoT is part of telltale's line up because with all the shitty GoT themed games, telltale would do it justice. The only reservation i have is the art style may not work well with the GoT lore. But it worked for zombies so what the heck!

[Shorty]

THE WOLF AMONG US IS FANTASTIC

The artwork got even better with The Wolf Among Us from Walking Dead. The animation is what interested me in the first place.

Tell-Tale Games seem to like to work off of new storylines rather than ones they are based on, more like they use the universe and some characters to make a game out of it. From what I'm aware of, TWAU is based on the universe of Fables, but it's more of an "after the fact" story from the comics. TWD is similar - same universe and some characters, different storyline than the show (and comics, I think). This would be interesting with Game of Thrones because there's so much to work with.

I will totally play any and all Tell-Tale Games, especially a GoT one.

I see so many things to get all kinds of excited over.

I hope they keep all the dialogue in The Viper vs The Mountain, I'm very excited to see Sansa leave King's Landing, and obviously I can't wait to see Joffrey die. I hope they're able to convey the emotions the way they were in the book--in that moment, he's just a boy dying in his mother's arms. I wonder if they'll get to Lady Stoneheart. That part made me gasp when I read it.

[Night Fury]

Oh my gaaaaahd.

[Ayen]

My favorite quotes of the trailer:

"They know I won the war."
"The war's not won."

"They have a choice, they can live in my new world or die in their old one." (not much of a choice)

"It's tempting to see your enemies as evil. But there's good and evil on both sides in every war ever fought."

"If you want justice you've come to the wrong place."

That last quote and Arya's, "Anyone can be killed," line from Season 2 sums up the series so damn well it's not even funny.

[Lonely Paper Star]

She hasn't ever seen it or read the books. Tee hee.

My favorite episode so far is The Climb.

I thought you weren't gonna watch this?

I feel like if I don't rewatch this before Season 4 starts I'll have completely forgotten what's going on.

I caught that on Facebook a few hours ago. I swear Jaime is on the fast track of becoming one of my faves if that sneak peak is any indication. I have no idea how I'm going to make it to April.

[Shlup]

I edited your post because you know how some people are incredibly strict. Not stricter than BJ though. He yelled at me because I told him I watched this. Not only does he not even want to see screenshots, he doesn't like knowing that I've seen screenshots. xD

That preview is amazing though! I'm so excited!

[Freya]

Awwwwww everyone like's dragon gifs though. I didn't think it was much of a spoiler just a cool dragon CGI point. If you don't know anything about what's going on it's just CGI!

I like where it's like "what's the most badass line you've said" and it cuts to hodor "well there was that time I said Hodor"

[Ayen]

I love Arya's hair.

If the episode hasn't aired, it goes behind a spoiler tag. Gotta respect other people's thresholds. You should know this; you know how strict /r/gameofthrones is about tags!

[Psychotic]

If the episode hasn't aired, it goes behind a spoiler tag. Gotta respect other people's thresholds. You should know this; you know how strict /r/gameofthrones is about tags!EoFF aint reddit. If you love reddit and its spoiler policy so much, go hang out there and bask in your non-spoiled threads instead :colbert: On EoFF, we're going to talk about every damn thing from the books right here, right now.

hmm

I can't remember anything that happens in the books.

well.

this is awkward.

i think maybe jon snow goes to the wall and joins the night's watch?

[Shlup]

I didn't say this was reddit; I said I know she understands how people have different thresholds for spoilers. I will super slap you!

And, no, stuuuupid. Jon Snow kills Sam and spends the night inside him.

[Psychotic]

Wrong Sam. That's The Lord of the Flies - Frodo climbs inside him to survive the night before Handalf shows up to save him.

[Del Murder]

Looking good. Nice to hear that there won't be a slow build to a big climactic episode like the last two seasons and that the action will be more consistent throughout.

[Kalevala]

Does he now? :jokey:

Someone posted that Ned dies on a completely unrelated page, just to be a dick. :/ Fortunately, I thought they had to be joking!

I love that this thread is so much more active than The Walking Dead thread, when that re-started yesterday and GoT isn't back for two more months. xD

That's because GoT is actually a good show.

Game of Thrones Season 4: Ice and Fire: A Foreshadowing - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5iS3tULXMQ)

Look at the end LOOK AT IT :O sooooo majestic! they have grown so much!

and the rest ofcourse, watch that too :D

[Ayen]

I didn't realize so many people hated Catelyn and Sansa. I was always indifferent to the two. Regarding Sansa now all I feel is pity. And a strong need to punch things... But I always want to punch things in King's Landing.

[Psychotic]

Yeah I think Sansa gets a lot of unfair hate. She was just a starry eyed child who didn't know any better and now she's trapped in a nightmarish situation.

Catelyn though, ehhhhhfffff. I don't know. I feel an incredible amount of pity for her given what she had to witness, all the people she loved dying one by one. That's horrible and I guess grief does terrible things... but she was still kind of a bitch before then. I'll forgive her the day she forgives Jon Snow :colbert: Game of Thrones needs ghosts. Force ghosts. Ghost King Robert wrecking trout with a spectral warhammer would be incredible. I'm just sayin'.

[Ayen]

It's probably because I haven't watched the first season in a while, but I don't remember her relationship with Jon Snow all that well. Unless this was something the books went into more.

[Shaibana]

people hate sansa and katelyn? :(
i love Sansa! she is really developing from Damsel in distress/hostage to a strong young woman

[Kalevala]

I think the hate for Sansa comes from people's frustration with her. She's a romantic/idealist character in a world that is anything but those two things. If we were dumped in Westeros most of us would act quite similarly to her (I know I would), but because we exist outside of their universe as spectators it's easier for us to pass judgement. We want her to do well, and we know what is necessary for her to succeed, but she isn't doing those things.

Stay strong, show-watchers. It gets better.

[Ayen]

Getting dumped in Westeros would be awful. You'd have to take a trout in the bushes. Smurf that.

[Botchmun]

The spoiler for season four is that there will be even more rude people in armour this season.

[Bolivar]

people hate sansa and katelyn? :(

2 of my favorites honestly. I just admire how Cat continues on serving others regardless of how much she's been through, she's afforded no time to grieve or mourn. Martin hits home how criminally under appreciated our matriarchs are in our own lives.

I guess a lot of people dislike Sansa because she ratted out Ned and got her entire household in the capital killed. She was kind of a brat in the beginning. But she has the most profound tragedy IMO. Most other characters still have their core values and belief systems driving them forward but Sansa watches as everything she believes in gets destroyed. So much so that she fears hope at many points. It's fascinating to wonder what kind of woman is going to emerge from the wreckage.

[Shaibana]

thats what you have the outhouse for!

[Psychotic]

It's probably because I haven't watched the first season in a while, but I don't remember her relationship with Jon Snow all that well. Unless this was something the books went into more.The books go into everything more, but yeah there was nastiness towards him in Season 1. She did have that moment talking about him in Season 3 which went some way towards redemption but she never followed through with her plans to not be a gigantic dick to him.

[BlueD]

Can't wait!

[Kalevala]

She did have that moment talking about him in Season 3 which went some way towards redemption but she never followed through with her plans to not be a gigantic dick to him.

Not to mention that scene isn't in the books whatsoever. It was a lovely surprise.

[Jinx]

The thing about Sansa betraying her family is...again, she was a little girl. She was taught to revere the Queen and she had a puppy love crush on her--at the time--future husband. So when they asked her to *betray* her family she trusted them. They manipulated the shit out of her. And I think if you were an 11-year-old little girl and an adult you trusted said they were going to help you and your family, you'd probably believe them.

I didn't like Sansa at first, but she has become one of my absolute favorites in both book and series. I think her story is one of the most compelling. Same thing with Cat.

[Shaibana]

exactly, she just wants to save her family so bad, that she is oblivious to the true nature of Cersei and Joffrey (in the 1st season).
she is a naive young girl who's dream gets shattered. she gets a hard wake-up call and learns the hard way that the world isnt all roses and rainbows and happy endings.

i adore her. i always get excited when i see that the next chapter is about Sansa (im only at the first book yet)

[Ayen]

Getting dumped in Westeros would be awful. You'd have to take a trout in the bushes. Smurf that.

thats what you have the outhouse for!

But what will you wipe with, Shaibana? What will you wipe with!?

Harsh, but I guess that is how people treated bastards back then. Probably why I never noticed.

[Freya]

Well she hates him because Jon is only a few months younger than Robb I believe. So she resents him. When Ned left for the war when she was pregnant, he came back with another woman's child. Ned was never in the slightest unfaithful again so she sees Jon as the one bad thing. Plus everyone treats him well and she doesn't like that she's supposed to be nice to the son of some other woman and treat him as one of her own. So she's a super jerk to him.

She's way worse in the book.

[Bolivar]

^ yeah. It wasn't so much the fact that Ned had a bastard but that Jon was paraded throughout Winterfell as his son and afforded the same training, education, and fatherly attention as her own children. Infidelity is one thing but to be reminded of it on a daily basis for all of your people to see is something that humiliated and ate at her. Catelyn is a central character in the books and Michelle Fairly did a great job; one of the major gripes of readers (including myself) is that she never got a chance to shine while the showrunners opted to tell their own (IMO less compelling) character arcs instead.

ironically, Jon is not actually Ned's son.

[Quindiana Jones]

I really preferred following Robb after-the-facts through Cat like in the book to the actual following of Robb during-the-facts in the show.

[Shlup]

Still tagging any comment that relates to anything that hasn't aired, even very minor observations and speculation. Keep everyone feeling safe in this thread, please, even the crazies.

I love Cat and Sansa. Sansa especially is near the top of my list! She goes through so much development!

[Freya]

New trailer!

So far I approve of the people Arya wants to kill.

[McLovin']

Why does she want the red woman dead again?

[Ayen]

Something to do with the bastard she was traveling with before the Hound, I believe.

[Shaibana]

did he got killed? i cant remember if he got killed or is taken 'hostage'

[Ayen]

did he got killed? i cant remember if he got killed or is taken 'hostage'

He almost got sacrificed but one of the guys working for what's his face ('cause I'm so good with names) helped set him free and he was last seen sailing off in a boat.

[WildRaubtier]

Is that Dornish boy dueling with a sword???

Ugh season ruined

[Shorty]

I've been wolfing down these books and am desperately trying to get through them before the new season starts. Two left! I wish I had read the books before watching the show. It made getting through the first two absolutely agonizing because I already knew what was happening and it seemed to just drag on. A Storm of Swords was delightful, though, and I enjoyed it very much. I won't make the mistake again with watching something before I read it.

I am refusing to watch any and all of the trailers. Just want to enjoy the premier when it happens!

[Shaibana]

im doing it the other way, shorty, im reading after the season :P
so far my experience with first reading the books: it ruined the movie/serie (harry potter :l )
im almost through the 1st book of game of thrones.. i think ive been a good year bussy with it now :l..
to many and to long pauzes every time xD

[Shorty]

You thought reaing the Harry Potter books first ruined the movies?

[Shaibana]

You thought reaing the Harry Potter books first ruined the movies?

i didnt thought so, it was so!
it was only 1 book, but it really ruined that movie :l
the whole movie i was like: '' Omg, no! thats not what happened!'' (detail things :l) and ''why is this or that not in the movie? ''

[Shorty]

A bit of an alternative preference, I'd say! Many people feel the opposite when it comes to books vs. movies, but to each their own.

[Ayen]

If you thought the first movie was bad because it didn't follow some things in the book don't watch any of the other movies. Sorcerer's Stone and Chamber of Secrets are the most loyal to the source material.

Wait, why am I talking about Harry Potter in a Game of Thrones thread?

Arya Stark is the greatest character ever conceived by old guys with big white beards.

[Shaibana]

naturally i already watched all the movies.. 10 years ago :l
i started with the books when (i think) deadly hallows, or the one before that, got into theaters

Brief Dany Teaser to go with all those images released today.

[Psychotic]

Sorcerer's Stone and Chamber of Secrets are the most loyal to the source material.
They couldn't even get the name of the first film right!

I still find it hilarious that they recorded each scene twice with different words because Americans apparently don't know what a philosopher is.

[Ayen]

The teaser for Tyrion feels like a first-person video game in the beginning there.

[Shlup]

Yeah, the teasers were weird.

Also, poor Rickon. :(

[Noctis Caelum]

Can't wait for this. My favourite show and series on earth. Read the books several times so I know everything that happens, but it's so exciting to see everything come to life.

[Shorty]

I still find it hilarious that they recorded each scene twice with different words because Americans apparently don't know what a philosopher is.

I did not know this was a thing.

We aren't the ones who made a big deal out of the stone thing! If she'd have just stuck to her guns with what she wrote instead of thinking Americans are too dumb to figure it out, she'd have had a much simpler time!

[Shlup]

Wait, what? That happened? Fucking Harry Potter having me all confused in a Game of Thrones thread.

If she'd have just stuck to her guns with what she wrote instead of thinking Americans are too dumb to figure it out, she'd have had a much simpler time!She's a struggling author and it's her first book, she's not going to argue with the publisher - she would be grateful enough that it was published to begin with. And it worked, didn't it? You all love your "Sorcerer's" Stone, don't you? :greenie:

[Ayen]

STOP TALKING ABOUT HARRY POTTER NERDS!

Oh my God, I sound like Shorty.

[Jinx]

I don't really have a preference either way. When I'm talking to American exclusively, I say Sorcerer's Stone. When I'm talking to mixed crowds (like on my Facebook) I usually do a 'Sorcerer's Stone/Philosopher's Stone'. And when I'm talking to exclusively British people, I will generally say Philosopher's Stone.

I don't see why it has to be a big deal.

[Del Murder]

Please end the Harry Potter discussion or take it to a new thread.

[Jinx]

Are we doing forum-wide set change again this year? If so, I call Melisandre again (just because I have the totally bitchin' set).

Hell yes we are.

[Rantz]

I'm still Littlefinger and the warning not to trust me still stands :colbert:

Wasn't Locky Arya last year? I think she should get first choice on Arya, then she's up for grabs. :p

There's no problem with more than one person having at a character. We want everyone to participate! Just don't use the same images to save confusion xD

[Jinx]

If someone else tries to be Melisandre, I will cut a bitch.

[Lonely Paper Star]

I claim Meera. XD I have a set of her already.

[Shauna]

I just finished Game of Thrones (book). The first season of the show follows it pretty well! I was impressed.

On to book 2.

If you can find fanart or whatever for characters who have not yet been revealed, go for it.

Since the show premieres again in April, I'll be changing my set on the 1st~

[Jinx]

Are you gonna be Margaery again?

I'll probably follow suit and also change my set on April 1st. :)

[Shorty]

Yes ma'am, I certainly am!

I can't think of Margaery or Natalie Dormer without thinking of you, tbh. XD

is that so xD

On to book 2.
Yeah, I read and watched them at the same time and it was good fun. The books and show get farther apart from each other, with character deletions and other characters picking up for the deleted ones... storylines are moved up or pushed back, and lots of scenes are invented for the show. I quite like everything they do though.

As long as you can avoid spoilers.
