'Game of Thrones' season 8: Leaked pictures tease Unsullied action sequence
New pictures from the production set of “Game of Thrones” season 8 have leaked online. The images tease a massive action sequence involving the Unsullied. Meanwhile, details about new cast members have also surfaced online. The following article contains spoilers.
Pictures on Watchers on the Wall show a with a snow-covered set with a massive green screen on the background. The report notes that this is the first time the Unsullied are seen fighting in snow and that there will be a lot of dead bodies on the battlefield by the time the fighting is done.
Some parts of filming here were done at night. The extras playing the role of soldiers can be seen carrying torches. None of the main cast members can be seen in the leaked pictures.
Since winter has already arrived in Westeros, the snow-covered set need not be a location beyond the Wall. The Army of the Dead has already crossed over, so battles are expected to take place south of the Wall.
Meanwhile, casting news continues. The newest actor to join the show is Frank Blake, who will be playing the role of a Northern sentry.
Another set of casting news on Watchers on the Wall reveals that the producers are looking for a few specific extras. The first is for a role of a young mother aged between 25 and 30. This is said to be a poor character who is fighting to survive.
The other role is for a young character aged between 5 to 8. The producers are looking for female identical twins. This may not be a dual role, though, since the casting of twins allows the director to work for a longer duration with the same character. Labour laws restrict the number of working hours for children.
