As more information on the Portstewart filming for Game of Thrones season 5 comes in each day, it would appear that a big scene will be shot tomorrow, August 7th.
One fan tweeted a picture of some filming details; unfortunately most of it is blurred out.

MAJOR SPOILERS BELOW THE CUT. *Updated spoilers below, as of 2:30PM*
An image shared yesterday gives us reason to believe that the scene in question may be a fight scene. According to this, Ellaria finds out that Jaime has come to Dorne to rescue Myrcella, after Jaime and Bronn encounter a Dornish patrol, resulting in a skirmish.

Another source tells us that the scene being filmed this week, the “snake killing,” is in reference to Bronn killing an actual viper which he and Jaime then eat.
This picture, taken on the set, would also seem to reinforce the fight scenes. Locals continue to take pictures on and off set. Here’s another look at a Dornish rider.
Game of Thrones fans… They’re filming on the beautiful Portstewart Strand. Another reason to come north… pic.twitter.com/lLHvdcw1gh — Ground Espresso Bars (@groundespresso) August 6, 2014
One of our sources tells us that Game of Thrones has been filming at Toome. This is where Northern Ireland’s largest river, the Bann, meets Lough Neagh. Filming is taking place on the river itself. Filming will also soon begin in Moneyglass. Pink GoT signs and crew members have been spotted close by. This is the same location in which a castle set was recently under construction.

For our final location today: a local tour company in Split, Croatia, has leaked what appears to be the filming dates for Game of Thrones this year- September 8-16th. This schedules Split filming before the other Croatian sites Dubrovnik and Šibenik.
In previous seasons, Split’s town center and waterfront have served as shooting locations as well as the nearby Klis Fortress and Žrnovnica quarry.
Cian: The “Snake Killing” referred to above may not necessarily be the killing of a Sand Snake, but rather an actual snake. Perhaps this action leads to the fight scene? Or maybe they’re completely unrelated, and only happen to be filmed in the same location? We also know that there is a stone-sided canal at Toome, where the river meets the lake. Could this point towards anything in particular?
Exciting stuff. Yeah, I agree it’s a real snake, not a Sand Snake. Will probably be Bronn that kills it. He’s like that. In the very least ‘someone’ will save ‘someone else’ from a snake bite.
a canal? first Braavos-sounding thing we’ve heard yet
You posted this exact stuff yesterday..
Im still hoping that some details leak about Arya and Tyrions story’s soon.
Most of the cast have been spotted filming somewhere but i have yet to hear/read anything about Peter and Maisie (still dont know whether Jaqen is returning and if other characters have been cast for her story)
uhmm,
We posted the fight scene image yesterday, and it says so above.
All other news is from today, check the dates on the images 🙂
uhmm,
This post is more detailed,
Could be a snake killing but would they really name an area after something relatively insignificant thatleads onto an action sequence? It’s up in the air but my money is on one of them dying this season at some point. Initially thought Obara but now starting to think Nym may get it. At the moment I’m thinking Hotah’s axe will end one of them or our mysterious horseman…or maybe even Bronn (hope not!).
Please god let Toome be the Rhoyne!
And Moneyglass is looking more and more like a deep-wood castle, isn’t it?
Blacker,
Didn’t Maisie took that pic on instagram before Comic Con when she took her rings out and marked GOTSEASON5 or something like that ? Then again maybe it was just costume fitting and not actual filming .
Interesting stuff. We have so many little birds at the beach that will we’ll have a very good notion what the scene is by tomorrow.
Cian,
Maybe he thinks this because the map was updated into the other post.
uhmm,
One other Portstewart image is from yesterday and it was added several hours after the post initially went up so many people missed it.
The rest, and all the Toome, Moneyglass and Split info is all brand-new.
TheTouchOfFrost,
That would be really stupid of them to spoil something like that on a sheet and no i don’t think they are stupid,remember this stuff happened last year too with the PW and nowhere did it spoil what happened .
If they bring a real the snake on set the scene will become difficult enough to name the place after it. I don’t believe they would put spoilers on their maps even when only crew members are supposed to see it.
I think
I was skeptical at first, but now I’m really into the Jaime-in-Dorne storyline. Season 5 can’t get here soon enough!
Blacker,
Peter and Maisie will most likely be filming some stuff on the boat set and I’m guessing neither of them will have any location shoots in Ireland, so they probably haven’t started yet. I don’t know which location Peter will be filming in but Maisie will probably be somewhere in Croatia.
As of now we only know the cast has been filming at Portstewart, Belfast, and that hillside where the Gwendoline Christie, Daniel Portman and the Knights of the Vale were seen. Based on a blurry picture, we’re assuming Sophie and Aiden were also there but no one knows for sure. The Night’s Watch crew has been shooting in Belfast and it seems like the King’s Landing gang has been doing some inside set stuff as well.
Flora Linden,
That would make sense.
Yeah, I’m in agreement that it’s not a Sand Snake who’s going to be killed. My bet is that a snake distracts Bronn and Jaime and then they get rushed by Dornishmen and the fight breaks out. It wouldn’t surprise me if they’re Ellaria’s men and it’s her warning to Jaime and Bronn to not mess around.
They know stuff like this gets leaked so they’re not going to put a big death reference on the sheet.
I keep getting excited for the Dorne arc with every new bit of info though!
With the Moneyglass location, I wonder if there’s going to be scenes at the Twins or if it’s going to be a stand-in for a different castle.
Thanks for all the info!
Morgan,
Peter Dinklage is filming a movie in Toronto right now. I’m guessing that means he is just filming on Croatia sets.
Yeah, to me Snake Killing means a snake kills someone
I’m so curious about that too!
That castle was so incomplete and nondescript in the photo, so much so it could be just about anything! The Twins, Winterfell, or something in the Vale.
Relax people, it’s a spelling mistake of “Snape killing”. 🙂
TaviColen123,
That’s what I thought yesterday but it’s quite an odd thing to name it after. Then again, even though we’ve now seen it, no one is any the wiser as to whether it’s significant or not so I guess they remained suitably vague in it’s naming! I hope at least one of them dies. They annoyed me in the books and they’ll probably annoy me in the show! 😛
Darquemode,
I would say Riverrun but the chances that storyline makes the cut are small.
Speaking of spelling mistakes, I just noticed on the site access picture the caption (on the far left) “vehacular access”. Shouldn’t that be “vehicular”? That’s weird to see, given it’s supposed to be a professional document on a TV series location shooting.
Im hoping the Moneyglass location turns out to be
Brand spanking new spoilers, added to the post! Clearing up the business of the snake.
Sue the Fury,
Awesome! I saw your tweets trying to get that woman to give you a picture of the rest of the call sheet but she just wouldn’t do it haha.
I like Jaime going to Dorne. It makes sense – Cersei’s become paranoid enough that she’d probably want her daughter close to her.
Thanks so much for this information!
Glad to see Ellaria will have something to do, but I hope they keep her more peace-loving characterization…
They are giving us action scenes with Jaime and Bronn… sounds cool! 🙂
Looks like these scenes are from Episode 4, according to the newest callsheet.
Can’t wait for this very specific update to be magically added to WiC’s post in let’s say, 45 minutes.
So the scene is Jaime and Bronn killing and eating a snake and then get surprise attacked by Dornishmen?
I’m sure it’ll be just another terrific coincidence.
Sue the Fury,
Please ask this Twitter person if she’ll reveal any new cast members on the script! She seems she can be convinced to do so!
jentario,
They didn’t really specify.
The “Ellaria finds out Jaime is in Dorne to rescue Myrcella” scene sounds like it’s probably the leaked Obara/Tyene audition tape with Ellaria being the off-camera voice.
jentario,
I hope there is more to it than that.
This is just my opinion, of course, but I don’t really need to see an invented scene about how deadly the Sand Snakes are. (I think that I still haven’t gotten over losing Arianne.)
However, Jaime and Bronn on a dangerous journey could be a lot of fun.
OtherAndrew,
I don’t see the episode number. Why do you think it’s 4?
Yeah, they should be faithful to the books and include the introduction of Arianne scene where she demonstrates how good of a lay she is… so much less gratuitous than the Sand Snakes demonstrating their fighting abilities.
jentario,
The scenes are numbered 4.2, 4.7, and 4.9. I guess the 4 could be referring to something else, but it sounds about right to me.
OtherAndrew,
Hmmm. Episode 4 seems a bit late, but it looks like you could be right.
EDIT: so Riverrun definitely gets cut
Off topic:
I was at grocery store earlier and overheard a couple as they played with their baby girl. I heard them say “Arya” and asked them if it was spelled with a “y” or an “i” and it was spelled “Arya”. She was the fourth baby Arya I’ve encountered since the show started… Only one had the more traditional Aria spelling.
Back on topic:
I’m excited to see the new Jaime scenes!
How’s the Kingslayer going to row a boat with one hand? Bronn better demand some extra gold to pick up that slack.
Just had a thought:
I didn’t say that, did I? I’m not suggesting that we need sexy, gratuitous scenes. I am saying that showing Sand Snakes fighting ability doesn’t interest me. That’s my opinion and we are entitled to disagree.
Episode 4 seems about right considering you need to have Jaime tasked to rescue Myrcella by Cersei in King’s Landing (which kind of has to wait for Tywin’s funeral and other interactions to take place before happening). Jaime has to recruit Bronn and get on a boat and then you have to allow for a little bit of time to pass for the travel to Dorne before they are there and interacting with the Dornish. E4 makes a lot of sense.
In terms of Riverrun, after hearing about Jaime going to Dorne, how did anyone think that was happening? What’s the point? In the show universe, Walder Frey holds it and the Blackfish is on the run. They established these things for a reason, so Jaime wouldn’t need to be sent there.
AA,
Don’t worry, Gendry is undoubtedly an expert by now. They might pick him up on the way.
jentario,
It’s possible
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BuX9LarIIAAHUqw.jpg
So Jaime and Bronn are indeed there to rescue Myrcella.
AA,
Regarding your spoiler, I had the same thought too.
Those are the spoilers and the picture that I added to the post earlier. 🙂
King Tommen,
Cian,
I think Gendry will take the place of the Mad Mouse.
My view on the Sand Snakes is that their characters need to be established from the word go – just as Oberyn’s was. Each scene must count and i imagine they’re pissed. Wtf does this Lannister think he’s doing?! Fight seems good to me.
King Tommen,
Exactly my thoughts. I wouldn’t be surprised if
Mmm… Jaime needs to go with Lancel to confirm the Cersei’s business. I think the scene where he burns the letter fits as a good end of his arc. That’s the one reason he must to go to Riverlands… The siege of Riverrun won’t make the cut.
Thank you for all this informations !! wow
So you are a ( lannister and a lannister sellsowerd ) come sneaking to dorne after a prince of dorne has been killed in kings landing to steal / rescue the princess and promised bride to the prince and heir of Dorne and the first thing you do is killing a snake and eat it 🙂 ? Not a good move …. The dornishmen may take your lives
So apparently GoT is now up to 19M total viewers! Crazy high number.
Ooo interesting.
I think whilst chatting Bronn may reveal to Jaime that Cersei had been sleeping with Lancel. Bronn would most likely know as he was privy to a lot of Tyrion’s dealings in season 2 and was even outside of the palanquin when Tyrion threatened to tell Jaime about Lancel sleeping with Cersei in order to get the information about the wildfire out of him. I think Lancel may play a role in the
and Bronn revealing Cersei’s unfaithfulness will have a similar effect to what Tyrion revealing it in the books when they parted had. Would also tie up that loose plot device that wasn’t addressed last season.
On a sidenote, I’m looking forward to Bronn and Jaime getting a bit of action. Hope Jaime’s got enough of his previous skill back to make a good go of it in the scuffle with that Dornish patrol.
Why is no one talking about the river thing? Could they be shooting background shots for the Rhoyne where they’ll CGI a boat into it?
How likely do you all think it is that Indira Varma makes the main cast next year? All of this info seems to point towards Ellaria having quite a lot of sway in s5.
for some reason i get the feeling bronn will die this season ;(
I really like that we’ll see Ellaria again, Indira Varma is so good as her.
Not very likely, not even Pedro was part of the main cast and he was one of the most important characters in the fourth season. We know of course that Nathalie Emmanuel and Michiel Huisman will join the main cast (and I’d say Michael McElhatton and Ian McElhinney are candidates). What about Jonathan Pryce and Alexander Siddig? Those are some big names…
jentario,
Could be a possibility. On that plotline front,
Sue the Fury,
Some people speculated that the 4 on the call sheet means that all of this happens in ep. 504. Do you have a take on this, as wotw’s speculator-and-info-gleaner in chief?
When I first saw the mention of the river, I became very excited, especially because it said “on the river itself.” My excitement waned, at least somewhat, when I got to the mention of there being a stone-sided canal at Toome. That made me think of
Nymeria Warrior Queen,
But isn’t it just a canal in the middle of a river in some grasslands? Could that be Braavos?
jentario,
I was under the illusion Arya in Braavos would be quite an urban setting near the canals. I mean they could edit in buldings but seems a lot more hassle than just editing the river to look less canal like?
Grasslands sounds a lot more like the Rhoyne.
The filming that’s taking place on the river is happening right now and we know Peter Dinklage isn’t filming yet as he’s doing a movie. So the Rhoyne would be out. It seems more likely it’s for Riverlands type stuff (like around the Trident or the riverbanks we saw Jaime and Brienne on during their journey.
Since we know Brienne and Pod have already been spotted shooting scenes, I’d guess they’re part of her storyline.
King Tommen,
It could be an exterior for the Rhoyne though, in which they’d later CGI a boat in. But yeah, the Riverlands is more likely.
BTW, Dinklage is in Toronto, so if I see him downtown (some people I know have) I’ll ask him when he’s going to Belfast.
Greenjones,
Nvm. The merchant captain casting has proven that they do indeed mean ep. 4 anyways.
Probably not, but with what they can do in terms of putting in backgrounds, anything seems possible.
I hope beyond hope it’s the Rhoyne, but I’m trying to keep to possibilities open, so I don’t build up my hopes, only to have them dashed.
King Tommen,
Lion of Night,
Completely agree about Jaime’s motivations for leaving King’s Landing late in the season!
King Tommen,
I guess not taking Myrcella home to KL will be the main reason for Jaime and Cersei finally falling out with each other, instead of Cersei fucking Lancel (and Osmund Kettleblack and probably Moon Boy, for all we know). Which also means we most likely won't see Lancel again.King Tommen,
Do we know if they’re already filming in Moneyglass? That castle thing could be just about anything. It’d be nice to know which cast are filming there…
Blacker,
There are various web articles showing Peter in Toronto filming his scenes for the movie Pixels with Adam Sandler. It was around Aug 4 to 5. Maybe he will film GoT after he is finished with Pixels
