New 사진 of Game of Thrones sets under construction in 스플릿, 분할 

has made more progress on the new sets being built in Split, Croatia for season 5.

Today, Split.com.hr has a fresh batch of photos of the work being done in the Duilovo area, in front of the old Hotel Zagreb. It’s unknown at this time what purpose is intended for the location but popular speculation points to the columned set being used in the storylines for either Braavos or Meereen.

It’s believed that filming will begin in the Split and Kastela region in the next couple weeks.

, though it all seems a bit much effort for that unless it’s quite expanded

It looks like they are doing a palace by the sea. It would suspect that this is either Braavos or Pentos.

White marble columns fall more in line with Braavos’ style, so a strong possibility is the HoBaW. I seem to also recall some rumors about them not getting permission to shoot in the exteriors of a church or something? So they might just build the set from scratch.

Meereen is also a hodge podge of different architecture in the show and also uses a lot of marble, so it could very well be The Temple of the Graces.

At least in my mind it does. It’s not really a house after all, It’s the temple of the cult around the Stranger and/or death in general.

Perhaps. I imagined something a bit less extravagant but its certainly possible.

Dany’s wedding to Hizdahr. I could see this becoming more of an “event” than it was in the books.

My bet is on the Iron Bank–I think it’ll be very relevant down the road, and they bothered to introduce it last season. HoBaW was described as being more chapel-y and dreary, right? Of couse, D&D are free to envision it however they see fit, so idk.

Looks a bit less HOBAWy after they put the details in it. It definitely looks like a palace now. Theoretically, it could still be the HOBAW, but I can definitely see it being Pentos or the Temple of the Graces (which is less likely given that there’s no sign the Green Grace is being cast).

Daenerys there and people chanting “Mhysa, Mhysa”

We’ll still have to wait for it to be completed, or at least painted to know for sure.

They don’t announce small castings like that.

I could easily see this CGIed as the entrance to the Great Pyramid for example.

But then there would be no need to build it this close to such a scenic ocean location. No, the scene(s) here must be intended to happen by the ocean.

I know this is really off-topic, but I was checking the other site and found this: “. We have just hired a new editor and have reloaded a bit so we hope you will give the site another chance in the coming weeks” – Patrick Allen. So is Zack out too?

Well… Meereen is a coastal city, the temple can be by the ocean

I know this is really off-topic, but I was checking the other site and found this: “. We have just hired a new editor and have reloaded a bit so we hope you will give the site another chance in the coming weeks” – Patrick Allen. So is Zack out too?

WIC Editor, Zack Luye, will no longer be leading the site. Zack had to step away because of scheduling issues that will prevent him from giving his full attention to WIC. A really special thanks to Zack, who did an awesome job managing WIC the last six months. While we are sad to see Zack depart, we are excited for Rowan Kaiser, the site’s new editor, to introduce himself.

Hm. I wonder if that’s the news that the Watchers on the Wall twitter is talking about. Certainly hope so.

You can always hope, but it’s not very likely, I’m afraid. If the GOO guys have some kind of contract to fulfil (and I’m almost a 100% certain they do), then it’s most likely with the site, not with one person in particular, otherwise situations like this would create a big loophole.

It seems they ar going to sort of re-write history on WiC. The new editor is doing reviews of all of the episodes of Game of Thrones up until this point, which is kind of pointless as there are already reviews on the website of all of those episodes.

The new guy does seem pretty experienced mind, so from Fansided’s perspective I’m sure it makes sense, but they should really rename the website as it will be a completely different website to what it was a year ago.

Shame, but at least the true spirit of WiC lives on here.

A friend of mine said that few days ago he saw the News that creators of the show were in Zagreb and that they visited Maksimir park and that they are considering filming there, especially at the lakes and there are five of them. Now i spent some time to search the internet but was not so lucky (i don’t have Facebook or any other social media so searching is limited for me). So Im thinking that this may have happened but that filming could be next year. I’m certain that some casting would be held in Zagreb or something. I live in Zagreb and I’ll do my best to learn what was that all about. I’ll use this chance to plea for help in searching for the News or link or anything. Also the News said that Jorah Mormont crashed some Croatian wedding….

Those columns are looking nice! Can’t wait to see what it’s used for, my guess is either Braavos or Pentos.

the part about Jorah Mormont crashing the wedding was last year, i checked….

I am guessing Pentos or Braavos. As others have suggested it could be used as an alter or something.

Yeah the fact that the set is being constructed right on the water is key. My guess is they are going to film a character(s) approaching it on a ship. It does look like a grand palace.

Gotta love the dead body next to the green Ninja in the second pic….and the season hasn’t even begun yet!

Looks pretty, I hope they film there some time

Braavos shouldn’t be as tropical, it’s constantly misty there.

And one of the CEO’s of fansided proposed, in a reply to a thread, they proposed to pay GOO for staying on their site. They are kind of getting desperate. But seeing GOO recently started a Patreon site, I hope they can stay independent.
