Emilia Clarke Wraps Season Seven Filming as Other Actors Continue Filming in Belfast 

is drawing to a close: Though part of the cast may continue for a few weeks in Belfast, some are already done with season seven. And Emilia Clarke hasn’t been shy about it! It’s a wrap for the mother of dragons.

That feeling when at last you're a day away from wrapping season 7. I BELIEVE THIS ONES GONNA BE A MIND BLOWER…

lip sync, Clarke announces tomorrow will be a wrap for Daenerys Targaryen and assures us season seven is

It’s not clear how much of the cast —if any— will continue shooting throughout February, but as of a few days ago Titanic Studios was still brimming with activity, and cast members, such as Kristofer Hivju, have been sighted in Belfast as late as yesterday:

Met Tormund from Game of Thrones, on my way back from work, sound dude #tormundgiantsbane #GoT #gameofthrones #wildlings #tormundthunderfist #kristoferhivju #beard

will use up all of this month for any remaining filming, or if perhaps the whole production is wrapping up alongside Clarke. Until we know more, we could wonder if Clarke’s choice for a celebratory song is more than an expression of her feelings.

? Indeed, she can very much fly… with the help of some fancy post-production and the big dragon buck we reported on a few days ago. Emilia Clarke wasn’t spotted on the day, but now we know she filmed today and will do so again tomorrow, which strengthens our theory that she has been shooting dragon riding scenes for Daenerys’ incoming fight against her enemies.

Teasers often come after filming has ended, right?

I would be patient. We never get a trailer with any footage until a few months before the premiere. That’s usually in February… But not this year. If they follow the same pattern, we should get a trailer in April or so. But hey, I would be pleasantly surprised if we got a trailer in the usual time frame!

Emilia remains lovely and adorable. It’s more or less her perpetual state of existence.

I expect that most of the main cast members are done filming or close to it, and a lot of what’s happening now are small indoor scenes and supplemental shots for the VFX team to work with. Granted, Emilia has to jump into filming the Han Solo movie almost immediately, so perhaps they’re doing her the courtesy of completing her remaining scenes ASAP so that she can make the short flight over to Pinewood Studios, and perhaps even have a day or two off before she has to start shooting another major project.

Either way, the end of principal photography is drawing near. We may start hearing about a wrap party of some kind in the next week or so.

Its still unreal to me that Dany will finally be in Westeros… We will see scenes of her with Jon and Cersei and etc…. So excited.

Haven’t we gotten a decent teaser trailer in the timeframe of January previously? So maybe we will get something late March?

Last year we got the 3 House teasers in January. That was the first official promo material besides the 3 eyed raven one in November.

No real footage, of course. Well, some real dialogue, that is true. We may get something like that this month or the next, but that’s not really a trailer.

Imagine getting a chance to take a pic with a Thrones actor and having it turn out that out of focus.

I imagine they will put the season 7 teaser in front of something they are trying to promote. Like THE LEFTOVERS final season premiere. But they could also drop it tomorrow… who knows with HBO?

True. We did get the 3 eyed raven teaser while filming was still going on. No new footage, but at least it was something. Filming is almost over and we haven’t gotten anything yet.

All this talk of teasers, but when do you think we’ll get the official premiere date?

The Leftovers final season premieres in April, so i could definitely see them doing something like the Hall of Faces teaser they did last year after the Westworld premiere.

Based on Liam Cunningham’s Instagram, it looks like he’s done too. Can’t be very many actors left shooting in Belfast.

I wouldn’t be surprised if we got either a teaser trailer or a teaser poster this month, but as others have said, I wouldn’t expect that teaser to contain any new footage. Perhaps some new dialogue overlaying old footage or an evocative series of images, much like we saw last year.

Late November (Five months away from the eventual S6 premiere): The teaser poster of a bloody Jon Snow. That was unusually early, but also had the effect of stoking the hype for Jon’s return given the atypically monumental cliffhanger that Season 5 had ended on.

Early December: The first teaser trailer with Jon, Bran, and the Three-Eyed Raven (

Early December: The HBO yearender video, with a few brief shots from Season 6 (first official footage).

Early January: The reveal of the April 24th premiere date for Season 6.

Late January: The Stark, Lannister, and Targaryen banner teasers narrated by their enemies (Ramsay, the High Sparrow, and Khal Moro). Once again, new dialogue, no new footage.

Mid-February – a little more than two months before the April 24th premiere date: The Hall of Faces teaser. No new dialogue or footage (I remember that people were pretty frustrated with this one, because it was announced beforehand, and had seemed like the first realistic possibility for new footage).

Late February: The official series of Hall of Faces posters (and the annual tradition of complaining about how underwhelming the official poster is). 😉

Early March (a month and half before the premiere): The first official full-length Season 6 trailer.

Mid-March: A “March Madness” TV spot with new footage, airing during the NCAA Tournament.

Early April (Two weeks before the premiere): The second and final full-length Season 6 trailer.

Late April (Days before the premiere): The second TV spot.

So far we have nothing but HBO’s yearender video, but of course everything’s been delayed by around two months. So perhaps a teaser (with no new footage) in February, the reveal of the premiere date sometime in March, and the first full-length trailer containing new footage in late April or early May?

I am absolutely in love with her, she’s just a wonderful human being, everyone who works with her speak highly of her work ethic and how humble she is, always positive, always smiling. She’s a breath of fresh air. This role put such tremendous weight on her shoulders and yet she carries it so lightly, always humble and hard working.

Emilia is an anomaly, it still surprises me that she doesn’t know how good she is and the impact she has on people.

I know it’s a tall order but I hope with all my heart that in the end, Dany will find happiness, a home and a family like she’s always wanted.

I wish they would at least release a teaser poster soon.

Well, let’s be frank: with all the leaked of scenes we had during the filming we shouldn’t complain that there is no trailer yet. We have already got a lot of new footage. However, I wouldn’t mind to get more ASAP.

I agree with every word of this…Emilia is such a delight. Definitely one of my few favourite celebrities. Precious little ball of sunshine!

I wonder if the leaks are actually the reason why they’ve been postposing teasers and trailers.

Do you know when HBO started releasing official photos from S6 last year? Seems like it was prior to year end?

Don’t think leaks would have hindered that too much. How many people actually read those leaks out of all the shows fans? I don’t think it was many (although I am probably wrong).

Do we actually know what month the show is back yet? If we go off normal filming then it should be July – I would expect a first tease sometime next month, with maybe a first trailer with the Leftovers.

That’s exactly it: she’s a little ball of sunshine ☀️ Love her ❤️

I doubt it. I might be wrong, but I would guess not even 10% of the audience are aware of the leaks. None of the people I know have read them.

An official teaser poster or a teaser video would generate hype among a much larger base.

The very first official photo from Season 6 was released via Entertainment Weekly on December 28, 2015. It was Bran on a horse, from what we would later learn was the season finale. That was far earlier then usual – HBO was trying to reintroduce Bran to the viewers, since he had taken S5 off. http://ew.com/article/2015/12/28/game-thrones-bran-stark-season-6-2/

The first major batch of official S6 photos released directly by HBO arrived on February 11, 2016. http://watchersonthewall.com/20-new-official-game-of-thrones-photos-released-from-season-6/

I’d say that 73 days seems pretty early … but Google tells me that we also got a large batch of S5 photos on January 30, 2015 – 72 days before Season 5 premiered on April 12th. http://watchersonthewall.com/18-new-official-game-thrones-photos-released-season-5/

So, if form holds, and S7 is likely going to premiere in late June/early July, perhaps we can start looking for the first large batch of photos around mid-April?

Might be as soon as the Leftovers ends then Thrones comes back.

The rumor was that filming would continue through to the end of February, but perhaps they are ahead of schedule. Is it possible that D&D are pushing for a premier by the end of May?

I just looked at the calendar. The 25th is a week after Father’s Day. I can’t wait for the trolling, I mean, promotion.

Yup. Emilia Clarke is always so witty and charming in real life. It almost makes you wonder how she can deliver such serious lines like “I will take what is mine by fire and blood” with a straight face. She truly is a ray of sunshine. Probably blessed with an over abundance of serotonin and endorphins.

If you’re interested, I thought she was wonderful in a supporting role in a weird black comedy/drama, “Dom Hemingway” (2013), starring Jude Law. She played his daughter. If I recall, I think she sings in it too.

Richard E. Grant (the Braavos theater troupe head, and faux Tywin and King Robert actor) was also in Dom Hemingway. No surprise that Nina Gold was casting didector.

Thought they might want to make the cutoff for the Emmy’s.

I hate they’re gonna skip a year… Maggie Smith looks like she might be out of the running this year, at last.

Thanks Jared…I’m hoping we might get some photos around the end of March but guess that would be early.

Speaking of spoilers… Has anyone captured any images of Daenerys in armor?

If she takes Drogon into battle, she should be armored, right?

I saw every single one of her movies, she actually acted alongside a friend of mine in Dom Hemingway, a Romanian named Madalina Ghenea. I saw Me Before You as well and I am absolutely stoked to see Above Suspicion and even more excited about Voice from the Stone. The teaser trailer is so intense and her acting abilities have improved so much. I can’t wait to see her in a thriller/mystery genre ! All my college classmates and I are going, we’re all huge fans of her work ! I absolutely adore her !

I hope she shines forever, she’s beautiful on the outside but on the inside she is radiant, she gives out the most incredible energy, just like you said, a sun ☀️. People like that are so rare, they need to be valued. She deserves all the success in the world ! Whatever movie she’ll be in, I’m buying a ticket !

Love Emilia, we’ve been blessed to have such a ray of sunshine on the GOT cast

Looking forward to seeing her two new movies this year, such different roles for her. Absolutely loved “Me Before You” even though it was depressing as hell, hope she does romantic comedy again she’s great at it.

Emilia is one of those rare birds who seems to just radiate joy. As I personally radiate sarcasm, I like that she makes me smile.

I think they are done. Apparently kit left Belfast today. Emilia finishes up tomorrow. I believe they and few others were the only actors still filming.

I haven’t read the leaks and don’t what to. It’s unfair that even casual fans may unwillingly be contaminated by them since they’ve infested the Internet.

I hope the showrunners don’t delay – or rush – anything because it happened.

I’m kind of surprised they haven’t identified the scoundrel. I thought producers and scriptwriters use a variation of the technique Tyrion used to ferret out Pycelle as the one who was leaking to Cersei information Tyrion had imparted in confidence, by relating slightly different versions of his Myrcella betrothal plans to Varys, Pycelle, and Littlefinger – and then seeing which version made its way to Cersei.

I understood that scriptwriters and producers distribute many different, slightly altered versions of scripts before actual filming so that if they’re leaked they can identify the source.

I hope that the dirtbag who stole and disseminated the contents of S7’s scripts is publicly identified and vilified like Steven Bartman (who didn’t even deserve the public roasting he was subjected to.)

For those of you who don’t remember, Steve Bartman was the Chicago Cubs fan who attended a playoff game against the Florida Marlins at Wrigley Field several years ago. He had a seat in the stands right behind the railing on the third base side of the field. A pop fly foul ball came headed in his direction, so like any fan would he reached up and tried to catch it as a souvenir. Unfortunately, a Cubs’ infielder was reaching over the railing and trying to catch the ball too.

Bartman’s hand got in the way and prevented the Cubs infielder from making the catch. At the time, the Cubs had a comfortable lead in the game and were about two innings away from winning. Instead of flying out on the foul ball, the Marlins batter stayed alive, and the inning continued. The batter got a hit, the Cubs made a couple of fielding errors, and then the floodgates opened: the Marlins came back to win the game, win the playoff series against the Cubs, and went on to win the World Series.

Poor Steve Bartman, a lifelong die-hard Chicago Cubs fan, was blamed for the loss and became the most hated man in Chicago. He was stalked, harassed, threatened and ostracized. Eventually, it got so bad he had to move away and live under an assumed name. And all he did was what every other fan in the stands has done in every ballpark since the inception of the game; he had no intention of messing things up for his beloved Cubs.

But the S7 leaker malevolently and deliberately stole scripts and broadcast the contents on the Internet, knowing full well it would ruin the drama and excitement of watching S7 for countless fans.

There were some “curious” fans who eagerly clicked on the “leaks”, but the virtually instantaneous frenzy of websites reporting on the “leaks” polluted the Internet.

So while only a small fraction of fans have read “the leaks”, many were exposed to them unwillingly.

Whatever the leaker’s motives, he parasitized the creativity of GRRM, the producers and writers, and exploited the excitement their show has generated for his own selfish reasons.

He deserves to be publicly identified and shunned the way Steve Bartman was (who didn’t deserve it.)

So when will the Facebook and other type promos start?

Wouldn’t it be funny if it turned out the leaks came from GRRM and that he did it out of spite that the show passed the books?

Get real,Gurm has no access to the scripts anymore since he hasn’t been writing since season 4 and even the thought of him going online and leaking stuff is just stupid,he’s a 68 years old man ffs.not some edgy teenager or young adult primadonna .

Well, that sure would be funny if the leaks came from GRRM out of spite that the show passed the books — but it’s not as if they were both racing furiously to get to a finish line first, and he was edged out by a nose.

I truly believe – and I really don’t blame him for it – that he’s lost the desire to write the books. He shouldn’t have to. He’s 68, and has been writing for a half century. It’s got to feel like an awful grind now, especially since the show, by necessity, has started giving away the big reveals. I get the impression he’d rather do anything and everything except finish ASOIAF. Releasing chapters he wrote many years ago (and I really liked “Mercy”), kind of shows he’s not into writing new ones.

Realistically, even if TWOW came out tomorrow, it would be humanly impossible for him to finish the next book before S& of the show concludes in 2018. In a way, he’s now writing an adaptation of the show, rather than the other way around. That cannot be fun.

I’d say let him off the hook and let him hang out and watch Jets games –and write a few S8 scripts. Forget the books. It’s no longer a labor of love for him. It’s more like a dreaded term paper that’s already overdue.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: if we had to choose between the existing books with 73 hours of GoT, or the completed books sometime by 2020 but no show at all, which one would you choose ?

George Martin based his fantasy Game of Thrones on real history of England but was probably also inspired by German mythology specifically this one featured in this movie:

So, if you haven’t seen that almost 4 hour movie, you will love it, because it is like Game of Thrones, but more heroic movie. The interesting thing about that Nibelungen mythology is that it ends bittersweet.

GRRM doesn’t even see the scripts anymore. And besides that why in gods name would he do that? I know some like to see GRRM as this old, bitter, curmudgeon who is angry at the show but there has never been anything even remotely pointing to evidence of this. He’s done nothing but go out of his way to praise the show and praise the job Benoff and Weiss have done.

Now it is clear though this is someone that is trusted on the inside who leaked them. That’s a problem for the final season that they need to sort out. It could be a problem for HBO too if it’s a worker that then moves on to another HBO production when the series is finished.

The leaks are needed for screenwriters to gauge audience, production needs feedback in order to determine which scenes to focus on thoroughly. They need clues from fans.

For example, now when they know fans are hyped about sex scene between Dany and Jon, production will spend more time on that scene.

The more time spent on that D&J scene the better. 😉

Mirror it to the BotB moments… Daenerys teases Jon with something appealing. Jon rushes in and realizes he’s gone too far too fast. No turning back though so he rushes onward only to see she’s coming real fast right back at him. It gets rough with their bodies slamming into each other. Eventually Jon is in the action so deep that he can’t breathe, but he fights his way above it… Then the “horns” blow and there’s a wave of joy….. … 🙂
