'Game of Thrones' season 8 filming: Green screen at King's Landing set
Filming of “Game of Thrones” season 8 at Moneyglass, Ireland appears to have been completed. The cast and crew may be on a short break at the moment. With production complete, pictures of the Winterfell set have leaked online. Also, filming will soon begin at the King’s Landing location built near Titanic studios; this will be the last leg of production.
There will be some modifications to the castle in Winterfell. The North will have to brace for the war against the Night King, and Sansa (Sophie Turner) may have done some work to defend her ancestral home, as seen in season 7. New pictures on Watchers on the Wall gives an idea of the modifications made to the outer wall.
The images show turrets and battlements on the castle wall. These should come in handy while using bows and arrows against the enemy. But will they be enough to fight off the huge numbers of the Army of the Dead?
The report also teases pictures of the King’s Landing set, which has finally been completed. The set in itself is a new phenomenon for the show; previously, scenes related to this fictitious city were filmed on site. One new addition is a large green screen, suggesting effects-heavy scenes that will be filmed on the streets of the city. Will the Army of the Dead reach so far down south and threaten the Iron Throne?
More details about what exactly will be filmed at the King’s Landing set will become known in the coming weeks. So far, none of the cast members of “Game of Thrones” season 8 has been spotted near this set. The presence of certain actors here in the coming weeks will hint at the plot of the TV series.
