The creation of season 5 is well under way, and Croatia and Northern Ireland are bustling with activity, when it comes to Game of Thrones. Here’s your round-up of the latest filming and cast news.
Carice van Houten is headed back to the set. Fans had wondered after her last tweet about Westeros if she was finished filming for the year already, but it seems that wasn’t the case.

Over in Croatia, new pics of the construction (source article contains Season 5 spoilers!) on Lokrum have surfaced. While still officially unconfirmed to be a GoT set, Lokrum has been a location in the past, notably for Qarth in season 2. The accompanying article notes that water channels of some type are being installed around the set. 
Back in Belfast, cast members are filling up the city lately. The latest actors to be spotted together in the area are Aidan Gillen, Michael McElhatton, and Conleth Hill.
Kit Harington, Alfie Allen and Iwan Rheon ran into a fan while out on the town, as well.
We also have new images of the mysterious set at Moneyglass.

It looks like they’ve been heading out there late at night.

Sue the Fury: It’s been a busy few weeks for filming news, and will only get more exciting with location shooting in Croatia due to begin shortly.
Bye sweetie

How has no one spotted PDiddy yet?

Awesome… erm..
Well, I guess the production on the Moneyglass castle is progressing, but not complete just yet.
Does that look like they’re making it look like a wooden fort like Deepwood Motte? No real motte there, but VFX can add the bailey and motte fairly easily…
I guess it does not look like Winterfell, Riverrun or an inn to me either, but I still do not get a solid feeling to any location. Maybe a new area in the Vale of Arryn like outside Snakewood Forest? But that seems like a lot of set building for some random region…
Here’s hoping the next set of pics in a couple weeks solves the riddle! XD

I didn’t realize Conleth Hill actually shaves his head every season for the role. He had a rather striking full head of hair when Queen Elizabeth did her set visit the other month.

The Moneyglass set is Deepwood Motte. All Hail Stannis!
But where is the Kingsmoot!? No godless man may sit the Seastone Chair!

Turncloak,
Now that Theon and the Boltons are popping up… It’s probably just Winterfell.

now that you’ve found out about him loving ice cream, Littlefinger will stab you to death with that ice cream-on-a-stick. You’ve been warned.

He doesn’t, he was probably in a brake and kept his make-up on.

Is it just me, or are Aidan, Michael, and Conleth all stoned as hell in that picture. I think she caught them while they were out for munchies…

Afeastfordances,
They all look baked. I love it.

Afeastfordances,
Ha! XD
I thought it… MUNCHIES….. but I didn’t write it! XD
DarquemodeQuote Reply
Actually he does shave his head – in one of the commentaries on an earlier season [can’t remember which one but it’s up on YouTube] Michelle Fairley mentioned having run into him one summer and he was bemoaning having shaved his hair too soon because he didn’t have to start filming straightaway.
Dame of MerciaQuote Reply
Aidan Gillen with his ‘Feast’ is probably my favourite photo this year!
Moneyglass still remains quite the mystery but I still think it looks like Deepwood Motte or the Dun Fort in Duskendale. Probably completely wrong though!

I agree. That was perfection 😀

Sue the Fury,
Sue, I think you guys missed this tweet by Jessica Henwick (it’s not much, but anyways): https://twitter.com/JHenwick/status/501347539522969600 just another evidence that they are already filming some Dorne stuff (in NI I suppose, since the dates do not match the ones we have for filming in Spain, do they?). Lady nym posted this tweet yesterday in another tread, so if you’ve seen it and judged it as not-post-worthy I’m sorry for posting again 😉

Lord Hugh RyvenholtQuote Reply
Lord Hugh Ryvenholt,
Not looking great but they surely have to do something with Balon this season. I’d happily wait for season 6 for Euron and/or Victarion but would be annoyed if they’re completely cut. Especially as on events so far the Dorne stuff was equally/if not more cuttable and appears to be getting a lot of screen time.
TheTouchOfFrostQuote Reply
I just discovered WotW today, been catching up on a lot of the posts since inception, and just wanted to thank Sue and the crew again for doing this. This site makes me happy. I didn’t realize how much I missed the old WiC until I found WotW.
Also, love that picture of Littlefinger, Roose, and Varys. Quite a gathering of masterminds in the supermarket there.

No, actually, I retweeted that yesterday. It’s not really worth adding. We already knew the Sand Snakes were filming, as of a couple weeks ago.

I know. He’s trying so hard to act natural with his ice cream while Lord Bolton is over there having a giggle-fit.

I was absent these days. Anyone know if is Maisie already filming?

Sweet! I hoped for it. I even posted everywhere about it. OMG!!!! WE MIGHT GET DEEPWOOD MOTTE! Let me go freakout proper for a bit.

Oops, I should have paid more attention to the tweet then, sorry. My excitement for season 5 (that will get me killed until april) must have blinded me 😉

Chloe,
I don’t think so

Strider,
Calm your TWs, honey. That castle can be anything.
jentarioQuote Reply
If Aidan Gillen, Michael McElhatton, and Conleth Hill are truly getting baked together when they’re not shooting and then wandering around Belfast so that Aidan can get an ice cream bar, then it needs to be on the DVD. I’m serious. I’ll pay extra if I have to.

Richard horpe,
That’s not new anymore, though. These are new photos, telling us who is in town and filming.
Sue the FuryQuote Reply
Even with cutting and cropping, the picture would be too large, but if I could make it work, that picture of Aidan with the ice cream bar would be my avatar!
There have been a couple of mentions of water channels being built at Lokrum, so I’d guess they’ll be using that for part of Braavos? I can’t recall water channels/canals anywhere else. Am I forgetting something?
Nymeria Warrior QueenQuote Reply
Thank the god thats mean Mel has more scenes than we thought she had after her tweet when we thought she finished 🙂 so damn excidet
And Iwan looks like a vampire 🙂 he only need some fangs 🙂
If the gryjoy story line will not be in this season so thats mean the building cannot be Deepwood

Looked like a Feast to me. We need to get to the bottom of just what choc-ice Littlefinger is indulging in! Can anyone tweet him? This could be crucial to his masterplan!

I share the same feeling, hopefully we’ll know Balons fate near the end of the season and the

Jent, did not touch TW today (mind out of gutter!). Also it seems too small for Winterfell. I’m sticking to Deepwood Motte until proven otherwise.

I vote for Magnum Almond disguised as Feast. All part of his master plan.

I can see the Greyjoys coming in during season 6. If they have the battle of Meereen in season 6 (likely during the middle or end of the season) it would make sense to introduce them then. I’m aware that the battle will happen in the beginning of TWOW, but wouldn’t it make sense for the TV Show to have it toward the end of the season? I’m almost positive Euron will be in the show, and, if the Greyjoys are put off to season 6 then there’s a good chance they could all make it. Not sure how many other new characters will be introduced after season 5….maybe Howland Reed, the Griffs? I dont really know. I remember when Cogman said he wanted to write Damphair “but we’d see”.

Well, I don’t know, maybe Aidan Gillen was… But It’s not like I have any evidence to support this…
AbyssQuote Reply
I’m not accusing anybody here (legally obligatory disclaimer) but I’m just saying: have another look at Conleth’s pocket… Actually, in spirit of their characters, Aiden is probably stealing in full view with a “what’s it to you” attitude, whereas Conleth is being much more subtle about it.

Queenofthrones,
Tar Kidho,
Nice to see some more familiar faces showing up here!
DarquemodeQuote Reply
Tar Kidho,
So the situation is that Aidan Gillen and Conleth Hill are stealing and Michael McElhatton is smiling, because he’ll rat on them. – You are right, everyone is in character. Method acting for the win!
AbyssQuote Reply
I have no idea when TWOW will be done, but his english editor really doesn’t either. It’s not like she is actually his editor editor, and it’s clear his real editor (the one that actually edits his work) gets an all-but-completed manuscript from George and there’s not a ton of time-consuming back and forth there relative to other authors. If the editor he works with (not just the relationship manager for another english-speaking country) has no idea when he’s going to turn it in, the english editor has no idea at all.
In other words, it’s really up to how fast he can write this thing. I guarantee you once it is in, it’ll go to print in record time. George probably has between now and next June to make the 2015 holidays. I’m not sure anyone knows if he will make it or not.

If they are stealing confectionary, I think Conleth would have pilthered the Cadbury’s. That’s how he got the moniker ‘Master of Wispas’ 😛

Wow, I almost didn’t recognize Dillane in the picture. Just shows what a big difference costuming and makeup and hairstyles can make.
Seeing all these pics and info being posted are fun and exciting. Makes the time go by faster until next season.

Not sure where to put this, but Peter Dinklage and Taylor Schilling (“Orange Is the New Black”) will star in an off-Broadway play starting January 15, 2015.
