I agree with some of the other posters re: his hair - I think I'd like to see him keep his curly mop. :) Tue, 6 Jul 2010 17:51:55 +0000 http://winter-is-coming.net/2010/07/more-casting-news-syrio-and-rast/#IDComment85162878 http://winter-is-coming.net/2010/06/engendering-gendry/#IDComment82793202 Doesn't quite work for me based on the pictures there.

I like her look though - she's lovely. I did like Hastings' reading for Doreah. Waugh's reading seemed very slow to me.

Not convincing at all. The guy reading with her though...good job.

Love the photos - lookswise I'm very happy with her casting. :) Sat, 10 Apr 2010 15:03:57 +0000 http://winter-is-coming.net/2010/04/maisie-williams-practising/#IDComment67050632 http://winter-is-coming.net/2010/03/ehle-out-fairley-in/#IDComment63074287 I'm sad to read this bit of news. I thought Ehle was perfect casting for Catelyn. While Fairley is not anywhere close to how I see Catelyn, I'm sure I can live with this bit of casting. Here's hoping there aren't too many more casting shake-ups in our show's future.

This has totally made my day. :) Wed, 3 Mar 2010 02:02:34 +0000 http://winter-is-coming.net/2010/03/hbo-officially-picks-up-game-of-thrones/#IDComment59459259 http://winter-is-coming.net/2010/03/casting-tywin-lannister/#IDComment59263484 As for the 4 choices WiC has presented - I'm not really sold on any of them really. I like Stewart, but I don't see Tywin when I look at him. I'm not familiar with Dance or Dale, but Dale has the right look. As for Nighy, he's not someone that I ever would have thought of for the part, but it's a very intriguing suggestion. As for some of the other suggestions being thrown out... Brian Cox - Simply not a fan of Kenneth Cranham - Great actor, but doesn't look right; could live with his casting though Ian McShane - I absolutely hate the idea; too thuggish looking Christopher Plummer - 20 years ago, sure - he's way too old now (80) So, in summary, I guess my vote goes to Nighy or Cranham. 'Tis a shame Plummer is too old, he really would have been a great choice.

Boyd is a rather interesting choice. He's not someone that would have come to my mind as Littlefinger, but I'm kinda keen on it now that I see it. Gruffudd would be great too. Thewlis and Tennant look too tall, but I like both of them as well. I love Roth, but he looks too old (and he's busy with his own show).

His film credits don't appear to indicate anything in English. Wed, 27 Jan 2010 13:17:10 +0000 http://winter-is-coming.net/2010/01/littlefinger/#IDComment54071611 http://winter-is-coming.net/2010/01/littlefinger/#IDComment54071044 Yeah, I could agree with this one if he were closer to Ehle's age (about 15 years younger). Shame. I still like him for a possible Varys though.

McAvoy would be alright if he were a little bit older.

On my personal computer at home, the text reads fine. Not sure where the problem lies though. Tue, 26 Jan 2010 20:25:48 +0000 http://winter-is-coming.net/2010/01/littlefinger/#IDComment53974357 http://winter-is-coming.net/2010/01/littlefinger/#IDComment53934619 I'm not really blown over by those four suggestions for Littlefinger. If I had to choose out of these four I'd go with Hollander or Simm. Littlefinger has always been Guy Pearce in my mind, but I think that bit of casting is unlikely. Someone mentioned Tobias Menzies earlier - I think that's nice suggestion if they're not taking height into consideration (he's got to be close to 6' tall). Cillian Murphy looks too young, but is another suggestion that I kinda like. Would love Tim Roth - if he was 10 years younger. Eddie Izzard is an absolutely crazy suggestion, but I do like it a mad sort of way...lol (maybe because it's just so wrong).

Was wondering if it was just my computer.

I'm thinking a March film date shouldn't interfere too much with GoT filming. I would hope Conan would be wrapping up about the time GoT starts production again this summer.

I was reading that filming for Conan will begin May 15th in Bulgaria. I'm hoping it doesn't affect the Game of Thrones filming too much. Wouldn't May be about the timeframe they start up again for GoT? Edit: Nevermind. I guess filming begins in March, not May. So new question - how long do most movies take to film? I'm guessing a few months?
