It doesn't really work as a trailer as it shows pretty much everything that's going to happen in the film, barring some big unexpected twist.

A big unexpected twist? To Cinderella? :what:

GoT cameos are the only reason any non-babysitting adult would actually watch this, which makes it probably more appealing than most live action Disney children's movies?

They could be taking inspiration from Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister by Gregory Maguire. That's a really solid take on the myth.

You know nothing, Jon Snow. :laugh:

So, the hair. I’m assuming you wear a wig on Thrones, because there’s no way they’d allow you to get this ’do otherwise—unlike Kit Harington, who told me he’s pretty much stuck with that haircut until the end of Thrones.

I was very grateful that we had the foresight before I started Thrones to go, “You know what? There might be roles you want to take that would require different hair.” [Kit] was an idiot. Lena, Emilia, and I are laughing because we sorted the wig thing out nice and early.

If you want to be totally unspoiled don't watch. Otherwise you'll learn that in season 5 doors exist.

In other news, Season 4 blu-ray has a release date, and also featured is the yearly crop of special edition covers from Best Buy.

Season 5 isn't even done filming yet. I have a feeling we'll be seeing a series of these short clips that serve as little more than to remind people that Game of Thrones is a thing that exists. A real trailer probably won't materialize until early next year.

Stuff in Spain and (I think) Croatia is finished, but they're still shooting in Belfast. Other cast members have been tweeting about it in recent days.

I think all filming is set to wrap by early December.

They always release a teaser like this. Remember "The night is dark and full of terrors" from the season 2 preview?

Season 5 officially wrapped a couple of days ago. :woop: And the wait until April continues. :sigh:

Meanwhile, HBO has been trying (and mostly failing) at teasing some upcoming footage, which you can read about here.

Basically we can now confirm that Arya rows a boat and Cersei goes to a Catholic confessional. Well I for one am teased!

At this point the show's timeline doesn't match up completely with the books but is pretty much past book 3. Last season featured some elements from books 4 and 5 for different characters. So if you want to experience all the details from the show first I'd recommend pausing after book 3.

I'd recommend that you, and anyone else that hasn't read books 4 and 5 yet but plans to read them, to find a chapter order list online where you read them both at the same time. Book 4 and a good chunk of book 5 are concurrent, so it works better if you basically alternate the books each chapter, although there are some hangups where do something like skip chapter 7 one book for a while and then go back to it, but I don't remember the exact order. I had friends both catching up on the books, one read them in order, and the other mixed them like this and he liked them a lot better.

This is the reading order one my friend used, but it lists the chapters names, which are the POV characters, so that sorta spoils it a bit...ah, here's a list on this page with just the books and chapter numbers. This is probably easier to manage if you get the audio books with the tracks arranged in chapters and then just make a playlist.

Eh, it's more than most would do. It's basically just a slightly stronger honour system, and I imagine anyone who actually wanted to pirate the books would simply go elsewhere.

Well to give them a slight bit of credit, it's then followed up with a prompt asking you to put in a specific word from a specific page of one of the books.

I've been doing my re-read of AFFC/ADWD using this order. Aside from the occasional perspectives doubling up on each other, it's amazing how much better it all flows.

And just a friendly reminder that if anyone wants to dive into actual discussion of what's in the books, there's a perfectly good spoiler thread to post in.
