Game of Thrones casting two more Northern noblemen for season 6!
There’s only a month left to Game of Thrones season 6 filming, but casting notices are still rolling in. Thanks to our sources, we have two role descriptions to share with you today. The newest ones to find their way to us offer more hints at the season 6 Northern plot. One of them is reminiscent of a book character who made a big impression in A Dance with Dragons, while the other is more mysterious.
The casting notice descriptions are tucked entirely below a cut for spoilers!
There are character names attached to the roles, but we have reason to believe that the names are fake.
First up, we have:
“Boyce”: He’s a callow young nobleman in his 20’s who has been thrust into a position of power before he is ready. They’re looking for an actor using a Northern accent, and one who is physically fit, can play somewhat hot-headed and can look rugged.
Our source says the character has a couple speeches in a scene with leading cast. He’s only expected to shoot for one day- December 16th- in Northern Ireland.
Our speculation: The need for a Northern accent, and the fact that this character is filming the same day as the character below points toward him being a Northern lord, one who has just come into his title. Which one? We’re thinking this might be the new Lord Cerwyn. The Cerwyns are a Northern family. Last season, Ramsay flayed the current lord for not paying his taxes. That would give the new young lord a reason to raise havoc with the Boltons in season 6.
The second character will surely cause a great deal of speculation among fans.
“Fletcher”: He is a fat nobleman in his 60’s. He has distinctive rugged features, a Northern accent, and a distinguished air. Our source says he has a stirring speech during which he unexpectedly shifts political allegiances.
The actor is only expected to shoot for one day- the same day as the above role, on December 16th, in Northern Ireland.
Our speculation: A fat nobleman shifting alliances? If this isn’t Wyman Manderly, the Game of Thrones fandom is being trolled hard with this character. With only one day of filming, clearly the show isn’t doing the whole White Harbor plot, but I think we guessed that anyway. Perhaps this is a meeting of Northern Lords, and this is a more streamlined version of the Wyman character who made such an impression with his speech in A Dance with Dragons.
There is a rumor that the "Game of Thrones" author George R R Martin has finished writing the much-awaited book "The Winds of Winter."
The director of the upcoming "Game of Thrones" Season 6, Jack Bender, said in his recent interview with Reddit that he was able to get his hands on an advance copy of "The Winds of Winter". This statement raised many flags in the fandom community, making fans all the more excited that the book is finally ready for release, according to The Independent
However, it is also being said that, Bender may have confused the advance copy of the "Game of Thrones" 6th season with the advance copy of the 6th book.
Fans of the popular drama series "Game of Thrones" are yet to come to terms with the death of their favorite hero Jon Snow (Kit Harrington). More than a month after the Season finale was released, everyone is keeping a keen eye for the release of the next book, "Winds of Winter," as it hold crucial information about the actual fate of Jon Snow.
Martin will not get involved in penning down any of the episodes of the upcoming sixth season of "Game of Thrones," according to The Franchise Herald.
He wrote some of the episodes for Season one to four, but stopped doing that from Season five onwards. The author wrote a blog post earlier saying that he is clearing out many interviews and other writing gigs in order to finish this book on a priority basis.

HBO's Game of Thrones (GoT) Season 5 might have already ended weeks ago, but the GoT fever is still on. The series' latest updates includes casting and director news, as well as possible story plots and spoilers. Meanwhile, actress Emilia Clark who plays Daenerys Targaryen, recently revealed the "valley girl" persona she adopts when out and about in the U.S.
On Tuesday, UK's The Week compiled a list of items to expect from Game of Thrones season 6. The list includes new characters, based on casting calls, that may be joining the series. This includes Red priestess Kinvara and a pirate-like character described as "cunning, ruthless, with a touch of madness". Vanity Fair's Joanna Robinson says the pirate is "definitely everyone's favorite eye-patch-wearing uncle, Euron Greyjoy, aka Crow's Eye" from the books.
Game of Thrones Season 6 will also have five directors, each handling two episodes, reports Time. Three are GoT veterans namely Jeremy Podeswa, Mark Mylod and Miguel Sapochnik. The two newcomers are Daniel Sackheim who previously worked on Miami Vice, The X-Files and House; and Jack Bender, best known for directing 38 episodes of Lost.
There are a lot of speculation surrounding Season 6's storyline, but none could be more popular than the character Jon Snow's resurrection. Jon's death in Game of Thrones Season 5 is one of the most devastating scenes for the series. Fans are thinking Melissandre's appearance at the Wall could signify a potential resurrection for the character. British actress Emilia Clarke who plays Daenerys Targaryen, also thinks that there's a "50/50 chance." Clarke told MTV she had "no idea what's happening", but added: "If I had to bet, I'd say there's like a 50/50 chance. There's some very helpful people there who could bring him on back to life."
And while Emilia Clarke is not playing her Daenerys Targaryen character and flying on dragons, the British star is also playing a "valley girl" when she goes out and is trying to avoid fans. Clarke revealed her "valley girl accent" during Monday's Jimmy Kimmel Live, reports Us Weekly. The star has even given her Californian alter-ego a name - "Callie from the Valley."
Clarke's valley girl accent was impressive when she did a sample of it during the show. When asked where her inspiration for her "Callie from the Valley" voice came from, Clarke replied, "I, like, love Clueless!"
There are SO many Selena Gomez references in Justin Bieber’s new video for ‘Where Are U Now,’ but this one might be the most telling of all! In one scene, a drawn photo of the Biebs seems to hint that he really misses his ex. Was using this pic meant to send an intentional message?!
Awwww….is Justin Bieber, 21, missing Selena Gomez, 22? In his new video for “Where Are U Now,” the singer included a drawing of himself with a word bubble that reads, “I Miss You, Selena!!” The drawings in the video were confirmed to all be fan art, but it’s pretty telling that he chose to include this one, isn’t it!?
The art shows Justin drawn onto a dark background, but the thought bubble is clearly visible. The Biebs’ rep told Media that all the video’s art was done by fans, and Justin had nothing to do with it, but he could have easily decided not to include those with messages about Selena, and he definitely didn’t — because this isn’t even the only reference to the “Good For You” singer!
It’s all pretty confusing, though, because while this pic has Justin missing his ex, another graffiti message gives the opposite view. When the video leaked on June 27, we immediately noticed the words “Jelena 5Ever!” written on a wall and blatantly crossed out with an X, leading fans to believe that Justin is insisting the relationship is OVER for good.
Still, yet another shot shows Justin in front of a white wall with the writing, “Where r now, Selena,’ to his left, once again leading us to believe he wants to reconcile. “Justin wrote this record during a tough time in his life and it comes to us sometimes, as artists, we are also just objects, and we have to take that as much as we have to use that to create,” Justin’s co-collaborators on the song, Skrillex and Diplo, said. “We all do this for you, respect that you put us here and it’s U that made the video.”
Well, I guess you’ll just have to interpret these not-so-subtle messages as best as you can, Do you think Justin intentionally decided to use these pieces of fan art? OR do you believe it was totally random? Let us know in the comments section below!
It’s no surprise Paris Hilton did not find this prank funny. After being tricked into thinking she was going to die in a horrific plane crash, the heiress plans to sue the TV show behind it all.
Paris Hilton, 34, is having trouble flying after being pranked while riding in a small plane over Dubai, claims a new report. In fact, the heiress is so distraught after her near death experience, she’s consulting lawyers in hopes of suing the TV series that tricked her.
Watch out, pranksters! Paris Hilton has had enough of your crap, and now she wants payback. No, literally — she wants to be paid back. After a video went viral showing Paris screaming and hysterical crying while the small plane she was on nearly crashed, the heiress is now building a case against the television production who pulled the prank off without a hitch.
The horrifying experience has left Paris “totally freaked out” . Unfortunately for Paris, flying from city to city is part of her job, so she can’t exactly be backing out of commitments because she’s scared of planes now. Because of this, Paris has been consulting her legal team and they believe she has a case due to “emotional distress,” the report claims.
Paris has claimed that she did not know about the prank, nor did anyone in her camp. She is also claiming that the prank was actually much worse than it appears on video, if you can believe that. According to Paris, the plane nearly hit the water and then at the very last minute pulled up into a steep incline that felt like a loop to her. So scary!
NEW YORK—Following a critically acclaimed 10-episode run, the HBO series Game Of Thrones capped off its fourth season Sunday night with a shocking finale that concluded with 5 million viewers being taken into police custody for pirating the show online. “Wow, you expect some major shakeups in the final episode of the season, but that part right at the end when the FBI kicked in my door and told me to get on the ground? I did not see that coming at all,” Boston resident Peter Herzfeld said of the surprise season-ending turn, which left millions of die-hard fans of the fantasy series in a state of astonishment and disbelief as they were handcuffed by federal law enforcement officials and charged with violating intellectual property law by using BitTorrent and similar file-sharing services. “The last few minutes of the episode were so intense—one moment the show was proceeding along as normal, and the next I was being shoved into the backseat of a police car and driven to a detainment facility. I just sat there completely stunned for a few minutes, trying to process what had happened. That’s classic Game Of Thrones, though: no one’s safe.” The nation’s incarcerated fans told reporters they could not wait to get out of prison after their five-year sentence and recap the startling conclusion with friends and co-workers.
GAME OF THRONES has only just ended but work is already under way on season six of the fantasy drama as filming is set to move to Macedonia.
Macedonia will serve as one of the filming locations for season 6 of Game of Thrones
The fantasy drama has already filmed in a range of locations from Croatia and Morocco to Northern Ireland and Iceland but now the action is going to be shifting to Macedonia.
There are plans to film in city of Prilep, the city of Ohrid by Lake Ohrid and the central-eastern region of Krivolak which houses the country's largest military base and has been used for NATO training exercises.
Ohrid has been described as large and has lots of old villages situated in a mountainous forested location. While Pilep and Ohrid are most picturesque areas, Kirvolak is more barren and mountainous.
It is believed that the producers have already paid a visit to these areas, according to the Macedonian site narodenglas.com.
Another Game of Thrones location is thought to be the Markovi Kuli Towers, the ruins of a fortress belonging to the Macedonian medieval ruler known as Marko Mrnjavcevic. The towers were used in the backdrop for some of the scenes in the finale to season five.
The surrounding scenery is rocky and barren while the weather remains hot for most of the year. The climate and environment like the one in Ohrid and Prilep are perfect for the plot, according to one insider.
Judging from images of the area, they appear to be standing in for the fictional Meereen where Tyrion (Peter Dinklage) has now been left to rule in the wake of Daenerys' (Emilia Clarke) flight.
The area could be used to film scene featuring Daario Naharis (Michael Huisman) and Jorah Mormont (Iain Glen) as they try to find their absconded queen in the deserts outside Meereen.
It could also serve as the arid location that Dany herself has ended up in or travels through with her dragon Drogon and a new Dothraki horde.
It is thought that filming on this stage of the production is due to start in March or April next year with the hot summer and rocky climate being the main draw for the programme makers.
However, it would seem more likely for filming to be taking place in March as late April is usually when the show is broadcast to viewers.
Game of Thrones season six is proving to be more elusive than its predecessors as there is no source text in the public domain that gives an indication of what viewers can expect.
Like them? Love them? Or just enjoy giving people a laugh?
Well, whatever your answer may be, make sure that your videos don’t land up where you don’t want them to. According to the recent news, Dubsmash, a video messaging application for iOS and Android, that gives you the option of selecting from the many audio recordings and then syncing your video to it, can now feature you in porn videos, without you even being aware of it.
People got hooked to the application soon after it was launched. And soon enough, our Facebook timelines were filled with people trying to be Kareena Kapoor, Salman Khan or even a monkey on cocaine!
Most of the Dubsmash accounts are linked to the Facebook pages and many people prefer sharing the video on YouTube as well. However, what has been recently discovered may shock many users of Dubsmash.
Recently, a video circulating on popular messaging application WhatsApp showed a woman in her early twenties making absurd sex noises and using a rather filthy language like a female lead in a pornographic movie. The video looked like an original video as the lip-syncing was perfect. The same woman was also seen in an original video on a Facebook forum on which she had posted a Dubsmash of a famous Tamil film dialogue.
In the present era of technology it is very easy to download a video, remove the original audio, and sync it with something else. There are many applications, websites and software that are free of cost and can be used easily for this purpose. Remember the ‘Game of thrones’ video mixed with the ‘DDLJ’ sound track? While that was funny, this is dangerous!
Because like the present victim, many of your videos can also be downloaded and synced with dirty dialogues for recreation. Rumor also has it that a popular Tamil FM radio channel warned people on its Facebook page that some of these women have started receiving their altered videos on WhatsApp and are being blackmailed. They are being asked for money and even sex, as per the post.
So before you go all black eyed peas on my humps, make sure that you don’t turn out to be the next Mia Khalifa! (unless you’d like to be, I am not judging)
It’s only been a little over a week since the Game of Thrones finale but the speculation over the fate of main character Jon Snow is going strong. Is he really gone for good as the show’s creators andstars insist? Or can we still hold out hope that, even on a bloodthirsty show like Game of Thrones, there is some possibility for Kit Harington’s return? Well, new information, including exciting Season 6 casting info and a big change for the upcoming Comic-Con panel, should be enough to keep hope alive for Jon Snow truthers out there.
The Comic-Con Panel: Just today HBO announced who would appear on the July 10 Game of Thronespanel at Comic-Con. There’s a pretty decent lineup of actors in attendance: Alfie Allen (Theon/Reek ),John Bradley (Samwell Tarly), Gwendoline Christie (Brienne of Tarth), Liam Cunningham (Ser Davos Seaworth), Natalie Dormer (Margaery Tyrell), Conleth Hill (Varys), Hannah Murray (Gilly),Sophie Turner (Sansa Stark), Carice van Houten (Melissandre), and Maisie Williams (Arya Stark). Noticeably absent from the actor roster, however, is Kit Harington. There’s a tradition of the actors behind freshly dead characters still making an appearance on the panel; Rose Leslie and Pedro Pascalattended the 2014 Comic-Con panel after their characters died, and Jason Momoa memorably stormed the stage in 2013 long after his character Khal Drogo kicked the bucket.
But Harington’s absence is less notable than some of the behind-the-scenes talent missing from the roster. Author George R.R. Martinannounced a few months ago he would be skipping the panel in order to concentrate on writing (finishing?) the sixth book in the series, The Winds of Winter. But for the first time since Game of Thrones started coming to Comic-Con, series creators D.B. Weiss and David Benioffwon’t be attending. That means none of the high-profile creative forces behind Game of Thrones will be on hand to answer audience questions about Jon Snow. Executive producer Carolyn Strauss and director David Nutter (who helmed the finale) will be standing in for Martin, Weiss, and Benioff withGame of Thronessuper fan (and book reader!) Seth Meyers moderating. The absence of Weiss and Benioff could have everything to do with timing—Season 6 filming will begin in late July—but it’s also rather fishy given that Comic-Con is usually where Game of Thrones makes its annual casting announcements. Could their absence be a way of dodging questions and keeping the mystery of Jon Snow’s fate alive a little while longer?
The Final Beautiful Death Poster: Fans of the series likely already know about the Game of Thrones“Beautiful Death” artwork commissioned by HBO from digital marketing agency 360i and artist Robert Ball. Ball has created a stunning visual tableau for each episode of the series and you can see them all collected here. The official Web site describes the “Beautiful Death” posters as, “The official episode-by-episode guide to the most iconic deaths in the realm.” So why, then, is Stannis Baratheon’s death the one featured in the Season 5 finale poster? Shouldn’t the honor of “most iconic death” belong to Lord Snow? Very curious.
Word Choice: You can, if you want to, pore over every single sentence Harington, Weiss, Benioff, Martin, etc., have said on the subject of the death of Jon Snow. Harington says he’s not coming back nextseason, but what about Season 7? Jon Snow is dead, but what if he goes by another name when he returns? Etcetera and on and on. It is worth noting, however, that the language Benioff used to describe Jon Snow, “Dead is dead,” is a very familiar phrase to book readers. “Dead is dead” appears on the very first page of the very first book of A Song of Ice and Fire in reference to, you guessed it, some wildlings who then come back to life. It could be Benioff messing with our heads, or it could be a very clever hint.
Kit Harington’s Hair: In Entertainment Weekly’s post-finale interview with Kit Harington, they note that the actor cut his hair “shortly after this interview was conducted.” Harington famously has a clause in his HBO contract that he isn’t allowed to chop his luscious Jon Snow locks. However, it’s likely that Harington interview was conducted several months back, and the cut in question was a trim that enabledthe actor to shove his curls under a period-appropriate wig for Sony Pictures Classics’ Testament of Youth. Fans will be relieved to know that as of just this weekend, the Harington hair is still long and flowing.
Season 6 Casting Info: A lot of additional Season 6 casting news has come to light since the finale. As the series diverges further and further from the books, we’re seeing more calls for characters that book readers don’t recognize. But some educated guesses are easy enough. For example, two non-white actors who have to speak a fictional language? I think we can safely assume those characters belong to the Dothraki horde Daenerys meets. But the most interesting casting call is for an unnamed “Legendary Fighter.” He is described as:
“A man in his thirties or forties who is a great swordsman and a paragon of knighthood. He carries a hugely famous sword on his back. The show is seeking a very impressive swordsman for the role—the best in Europe, for a week of filming fight scenes for a season 6 role. His ethnicity/race isn’t specified, unlike many other roles.”
Most book readers have concluded this is a call for a character named Arthur Dayne, referred to in the books as “Sword of the Morning” because of his famous ancestral blade. Dayne was the best friend of Dany’s brother Rhaegar Targaryen and carried a sword named Dawn slung across his back. Dayne is long dead when the action of the TV series Game of Thrones begins so he would only show up in flashbacks. And if you don’t want to know why a flashback starring Arthur Dayne is good news for Jon Snow truthers, then you might want to stop reading here.
The only good reason to show Arthur Dayne in flashback at this point is if Game of Thrones was going to do the evocative Tower of Joy plot from the books. In the first book, Ned Stark flashes back to the Tower of Joy while under the influence of Milk of the Poppy. In his dream, Ned’s friends accompany him to the Tower at the end of Robert Baratheon’s rebellion. These seven men—Ned, Howland Reed, Lord Willam Dustin, Ethan Glover, Martyn Cassel, Theo Wull, and Mark Ryswell—square off against three members of the Kingsguard named Gerold Hightower, Arthur Dayne, and Oswell Whent.
Dayne et. al. are protecting Ned’s sister Lyanna who is staying in the Tower after having been “abducted” by Rhaegar. You’ll remember that Littlefinger and Sansa discussed the story of Lyanna and Rhaegar in the crypts of Winterfell last season. Rhaegar is dead by the time Ned reaches the Tower of Joy, so many book readers assume that the presence of the Kingsguard there means that someone royal (a.k.a. Rhaegar’s child) is in that tower with Lyanna. At the end of the battle only Howland Reed (father to Bran’s friends Jojen and Meera) and Ned survive. Ned rushes into the tower too late to save Lyanna, but makes her an unspecified promise as she dies. Most book readers believe that promise is to guard the identity of Lyanna and Rhaegar’s child a.k.a. Jon Snow. Ned pulled down the Tower to mark the graves of the men who fought there and returned Arthur Dayne’s sword Dawn to his family.
So, in short, most believe that the story of the Tower of Joy is the story of Jon Snow’s birth. And why would the show bother, at this point, to show the legendary birth of a character they plan to keep dead? The only reason to tell the story of the Tower of Joy—be it via the lone survivor Howland Reed or a vision from Bran—is to establish Jon Snow’s bonafides as a secret Targaryen who is worthy of resurrection. Jon Snow’s parentage has been a long-running mystery in Game of Thrones fandom and seems as important to the show as it is to the books. Weiss and Benioff claim they landed the rights to adapt Martin’s booksbecause they successfully answered his question, “Who is Jon Snow’s mother?” So why would Snow’s parentage be important? Why cast Dayne and film the Tower of Joy if not to bring him back from the dead? We’ll know for certain next year, but for now it’s looking awfully like a return for the erstwhile Lord Commander.
