The Game of Thrones Exhibition wowed London earlier this month, and HBO’s cameras were there to capture the moment. The newest offering from HBO’s The Buzz features interviews with actor John Bradley, GoT weapons master Tommy Dunne and several fans sharing their enthusiastic take on the exhibits.
We’ve been waiting for this for a while now and it’s finally here- the poster for the fifth season of Game of Thrones! Courtesy of HBO:

The Three-Eyed Raven is once again sending out visions of season 5 and according to the messages and the Raven’s website, this batch will be the last until the Game of Thrones season 5 premiere on April 12th.
So far viewers have reported two different visions going around, as usual. This time, however, the visions each consist of one short clip from season 5, rather than a scattered montage of old footage as the previous Sight messages have been.
Descriptions of the clips are tucked below a cut as they could be considered spoilers.
UPDATE: Videos of both Visions have been added to the post.
Sophie Turner is featured in the newest edition of UK InStyle, sharing with the magazine her fashion sense and details about growing up in Warwickshire.
The actress touches upon a few Game of Thrones items in the interview such as her co-stars and a couple hints at season 5.
Of the actress that plays Margaery Tyrell, Turner says, “Just before my 16th birthday, Natalie Dormer said to me, ‘As soon as you turn 16, you’re going to work adult hours, people will try to take advantage of you, so it’s important not to be a pushover.’ Now I’m a total pushover and I let people work me too hard so, in hindsight, that was probably some very good advice!’
As for season 5, Turner says, “Well, there’s a lot of death – as always! I’m also really excited for Arya’s storyline. But in terms of my character Sansa, let’s just say she spots a few familiar faces…”
Speculation with spoilers from Season 5 filming below the cut!
The pre-season interview promotion continues for Game of Thrones Season 5. The latest, thanks to Italian site tvzap, is an exclusive interview with Aidan Gillen.
As book readers will no doubt know, we are heading into uncharted territory in the upcoming season with regard to what Littlefinger and Sansa will be up to all season; very little (if any) of their on-screen material will be adapted directly from the books.
Some choice quotes below the cut.
A 40-second snippet of “Loyalty“, KILLSWITCH ENGAGE’s Martell-themed contribution to the upcoming Catch the Throne: The Mixtape Volume II has been made available to listen to on Soundcloud.
Singer Jesse Leach says of the band’s creative process on the mixtape:
… while I was writing the song, I didn’t really know what I was talking about. But [the show producers] give you a concept, they give you key words that you should use and sort of give you a storyline. And it was fun for me to work in that capacity, ’cause I’m used to just coming up with stuff on my own off the spot. And they had a lot of cool trigger words, so it was interesting to see that come together.
Listen to the sample below the cut.
After the success in the States last month, the upscaled, re-mastered IMAX version of the last two episodes of season four, ‘The Watchers on the Wall’ and ‘The Children’, is making their way to a UK venue, DIY Magazine reports.
The event is only two days away! Mark Thursday, 26th February, on your calendars. The occasion for this first IMAX screening of Game of Thrones outside North America is the opening of a new eleven-screen cinema in Milton Keynes (if you don’t know the place, look for it to the NW of London), owned by Odeon Cinemas.
Well well well, season five has not started yet, and we are talking records already. It’s the recently released Season Four box set that is topping the charts at the moment.
Digital Spy reports that the previous season of Thrones has become the fastest selling TV box set in the UK within the last decade. The first week of sales has seen 157,000 copies sold, beating the previous record holder – wait for it – Game of Thrones Third Season box set by over 7,000 copies. Impressive. The UK first-week box set record beyond Thrones is more than ten years old: the first season of Little Britain moved 224,000 copies in the first week in 2004.
Alfie Allen bares all- not in the early Theon sense- in a new article in Digital Trends, opening up about Theon’s transformation into Reek, his possible return to Theon, and offering hints at season five.
The actors discusses Reek posing as Theon to help capture Moat Cailin, and talks about that intense shaving scene with Ramsay in season 4, where Reek learns of Robb’s fate:
I mean it’s really down to those boys David and Dan having that faith in me, leading up to that moment when, as you say, he’s pretending to be Theon again. It was kind of daunting to do, and it did kind of confuse me slightly. But it was needed, and I think it shows where Theon may be returning at some point. I guess that might be the first start of it. For me, the real first start of it is when he finds out about Robb Stark’s death. There’s a part of his brain that’s been inactive that maybe gets reactivated by that news.
Allen also gives us these tantalizing hints at season five:
