The North Remembers: January 2012
We have turned a new leaf, entered a new year, and so – of course – has our series of posts visiting the past. Today we remember the events from January 2012.
- First of all, please give a round of applause to Sue! She has been with us for three full years, and is now the driving force behind Watchers on the Wall.
- After the Emmy, Peter Dinklage won a Golden Globe as well.
- Speaking of awards, the stunt team won their first SAG award, starting their uninterrupted run.
- HBO released this In Production video featuring Croatia, while this report gave us a low-down on the Icelandic shoot.
- We were treated to this art direction video, and a look at how Renly’s armour was made as well.
- The biggest video of the all, however, was the S2 trailer in line with the now customary January release.
- We learned that S2 was going to premiere on April 1st. No joke.
- In an interview (last third of it), Nonso Anozie (Daxos) commented on his appearance on the show and the expanded Qarth storyline.
- The first two episode titles leaked: “The North Remembers” (hell yeah), and “Nightlands”.
- Game of Thrones has become the 3rd most watched show in HBO history already before S2. By now, of course, it has taken first place and firmly established the lead.
