HBO has also taken this opportunity to share a number of new official photos, and two clips taken from scenes in the premiere.
The first clip is a snippet of a conversation between Tyrion and Varys, in which Tyrion questions why Varys played a part in saving him:
The second is an extended look at the scene between Jon and Mance:
Here are high quality versions of the photos uploaded by HBO on social media:
More coverage on the event as it comes!
hodor
Not watching clips!
Stills are always welcome though 🙂
I totally forgot the premiere was today! Exciting stuff, looking forward to all the tentative cast interviews on the red carpet ha! Saw a pic earlier of the Iron Throne being lowered near the Tower of London.
Myrcella’s getups are giving me a serious Dorne Barbie vibe.
P.S. Totally avoiding those premiere clips! aghhh
FINALLY, New Myrcella photos.
Michael McElhatton(Roose) teased that there is a wedding in his storyline.
Tyrion Pimpslap,
Yep, I’m pulling quotes from the interviews.
DUN DUN DUNNNNNN.
I guess that rules out
, for the third wedding, though. The show must be doing the
story in some way.
I’ve been watching the live stream for half an hour… The only person they’ve spoken to so far is Michael McElhatton.
From the interview with Dean-Charles I conclude that
I didn’t realize Dean-Charles Chapman is now 17. I’ve been thinking he was around 15.
Nothing interesting in the interview with Iwan Rheon
AP rejected by Portman, hah.
Could you summarize what he said?
Felt Pelt,
He’s excited to find out
So, they are gonna show the full ep 1?
Trystane looks like viserys combined with jon snow…..
Dutch maester,
So wait.
crabbers son,
You know who else looks like Viserys combined with Jon Snow…
Myrcella’s costumes look gorgeous
Hodor H’ghar,
Yes, to a select audience.
Lol. “Live with AP!” – Stream breaks…
Aww Myrcella looks like princess Peach with that dress
Abyss,
I was about to bail anyway. I’m sure most of the cast interviews will be posted later.
Dutch maester,
Lucky bastards!
I do like them getting these quick interviews with so many cast members we don’t usually hear from.
Hannah Murray is so beautiful! They really don’t show off her looks in the show. All grubby Northern/Wilding girl.
Also Myrcella looks like a fairy-tale princess – what a beautiful vibe from Dorne.
I can’t believe CNN actually went there. Daniel Portman basically admitted LS was postponed to “future seasons”.
why does trystane have a snake on his weapon?
Pointy End,
People forget the snake motif is for the whole of Dorne, not just Oberyn and his daughters. People call the Dornishmen “vipers”, for example.
What is wrong with me? (don’t bother answering that, please). I still can’t get excited about Dorne, aside from wanting to see Areo and Doran. Much more excited about Braavos. Give us something, dammit!
Viserion,
Source?
Pointy End,
All of the characters from Dorne have snakes as part of their weaponry.
No it’s fine, i’l join you in that group.
Viserion,
Details?
Pointy End,
Because Dorne is over using the theme! 😛
Viserion,
Not the first actor who says that. Sounds like an assumption to me. He’s not a writer.
Pointy End,
Cuz trystane is oberyns and rhaegars bastard
Viserion,
That wasn’t his actual wording though. He said “I heard that’s been left for the future”. The question was about LS but it’s ambiguous as to what “that” actually means.
This interviewer is not my favorite…
Q1: What’s it like to be at the Tower of London?
A1: Yeah its amazing.
Q2: Can you give me any spoilers?
A2: Of course not!
I just want to hear about what they have to say about their characters & character development!
God that interviewer was annoying and awkward
Colty,
This is the same problem year after year. Is that hard to find someone that can interact with these actors and ask intelligent questions?
And now we wait a few hours for spoilers….
…We’ll finally know if Illyrio is back!
Dutch maester,
$10 he’s not back.
Carne,
He’s probably not back 😛
Though we’ve been surprised before.
Nice to see Ian Beattie hug Sophie, mug that beating her was just pretend, and (I think) joke that she doesn’t want to hang out with his family, they’re like the Taliban.
Dave,
Makes sense. They are keeping their options open just in case they want to bring LS. I very much doubt they will though at this point.
Dutch maester,
They cut his son out of the show, so there is really no use for him.
Will there be actual reviews/spoilers coming out after this event??
*hype*
Well, the AP interviewer was sub par. Kept asking the cast what it felt like to be on the biggest show in the world. Few open ended questions.
It could have been worse. Grace Dent for example…
One of the better interviewers on YouTube is Jan Gilbert of Flicks and the City. Check out her interviews. The GoT cast tends to engage well with her.
Tyrion Pimpslap,
Then I wonder: Why the heck go to his manor and not just have Tyrion an Varys in Volantis at the start of the season. The “my friend is off doing something else” thing would be really lame.
Viserion,
Here’s an idea.
More than likely this is just an assumption though, but I suppose I can still be a bit hopeful.
We haven’t even talked about how amazing the new Myrcella looks.
Dutch maester,
Prettier than Dany I’d say.
Wait… wait.. what did Daniel Portman say???
Of note: Tom Wlaschiha (Jaqen) and Richard Dormer (Beric Dondarrion) were both present at the premiere.
Dutch maester,
I saw a photo of Tom on Twitter but nothing of Richard.
Not liking Myrcella’s dresses. The first one… Does she really need that deep v-neck? How old is she in the show?
As for the red carpet, I just realized that Michael McHelhatton (Roose) is Daniel Craig’s doppelgänger!
Spaniard SheBear,
Shes 14 on the show I believe, Trystane is 18

So is the premier being shown right now?
When can we expect spoilers for the first episode?

Conleth Hill nearly avoided being seen at all, as usual :P, but for this picture

Aww…how cute.
Schrödinger’s Cat,
Weird. Wasn’t he saying just a few weeks ago that he’s had no contact with the showrunner’s and was assuming that he had been written out?
Stannis1488,
in about an hour we should get spoilers for the episode
Well, Mark Addy was there too and I don’t assume Robert Baratheon is coming back.
Crabber’s Son,
14 years old. Like Sansa in season 1…
That, and they are all big Slytherin fans.
The second age, with “girl,” “woman” and “crone” being the three ages that matter for females in this world.
Schrödinger’s Cat,
Dutch maester,
Bard,
Ah, yes…thanks! Got excited for a minute until I saw the Mark Addy photo.
Surprised we haven’t gotten episode 1 spoilers yet. It’s 10:40pm in London right now
Turncloak,
They’re probably busy getting drunk!
Guys, keep in mind that the majority of audience members tonight were cast/crew/celebs. We’re far likelier to get detailed spoilers after one of the various US premieres next week, which should have a higher ratio of fans in attendance.
I hope details spill as soon as possible, too, but we should probably adjust expectations (at least for tonight).
I thought I read that some redditors would be in attendance and would post spoilers. Perhaps I was wrong.
Viserion,
Where was this said? On CNN? I’m not seeing anything about it anywhere.
Lol
Yeah it would be a bit hard to take seriously, Barbie meets One Direction,
As ever though I guess I’ll see how it actually translates, could be a visual over-compensation to highlight the contrast in backgrounds
Of course D & D are going to turn Myrcella and Trystane’s story into some sort of Romeo & Julio ripoff
Oh yea?!? What did GRRM write about Jon and Ygritte, Danny and Drogo? I could go on, shit… Let’s not forget why the Roberts Rebellion happened.
