Thousands attend Game of Thrones casting in Osuna, Toome locked down as season 5 filming continues

Casting for Game of Thrones extras in Osuna began today. Over 2,000 people were in line by the time doors opened at 8AM at the casting venue, Raúl Carroza stadium. ABC.es reports that many of the hopefuls had been waiting in line as long as twelve hours, setting up camp with beach chairs, sleeping bags, playing cards, and a lot of patience for the chance to be one of the first to enter.

However, as casting continues tomorrow, those with blonde, highlighted, or colourful hair will have the opportunity to head home and dye their hair before trying again.
