lebih location problems for Game of Thrones season 5, cast prepares for filming in Croatia, and lebih 

‘ troublesome relationship with Dubrovnik Cathedral.

They have stated that they only disallowed filming of the interior of the cathedral/walking out of it, and that they did not and can not prohibit filming in the immediate surrounding area.

has since confirmed that this is “old news”, and that the producers have secured a new location for the sequence.

More information has also come to light regarding filming problems in Croatia, this time at the Cathedral of St. James in Šibenik.

, the cathedral will not be used for filming, as the bishop in question heard that the show is rich in content that he does not like.

The production reportedly hoped to capture a short frame of a wedding at the location, as numerous actors walked through the side-door flanked by lion statues (see image above). Also mentioned is that they plan to film at a “few” fortress locations, rather than solely at St. John’s.

On a more positive note, Dornish cast members Rosabell Laurenti Sellers, Keisha Castle-Hughes, Toby Sebastian and DeObia Oparei have gathered together to prepare for filming scenes in Croatia.

Finally, images of some sort of homestead set at Cushendall, Northern Ireland have surfaced on Reddit.

says that there was also a raised platform to the left of the houses that looked like “where a queen and king would sit”, and also confirms that filming is taking place at Garron Tower nearby.

The raised platform at Cushendall sounds interesting, although given the appearance of the rest of the set, it would be strange for a king and queen to be seated there. Also, the presence of an anvil there may have something to do with the recent casting calls for blacksmiths/stonemasons. Thanks to

The clarification of it only being in the church and directly in front of it certainly makes me feel much better about where that scene could go. There are a few artistic ways they could portray it and still have its full effect I feel. Thanks for the update!

it contains scenes he doesn’t like? I guess, too many naked women and not enough naked boys…

They’ll probably get shit like this from all the churches in Croatia.

Really hate churches and religion. So the walk can take place but not the start or end of it. Not that big an issue. Frustrating none the less.

That scene will be fine. They’ll get it done, Lena will rock it out, it’ll be awesome.

And jeez, the guy playing Areo is a big man (or rather, the Sand Snakes are pretty small). But yay for them filming!! So exciting. Especially for them – mostly very young actors who have very little notable work and then BOOM, it’s Game of Thrones. I’m sure Jonathan Pryce is excited too, but we’re talking about a two-time Tony winner here (has any other GoT cast member picked up a Tony?), so it’s not like this is his first rodeo. But for these people, I mean, wow, holy moly.

I’m guessing the wedding they were planning on filming in Sibenik is Tommen and Margaery’s wedding. and damn it really seems like they’re putting a lot of emphasis on Dorne with filming in 3 countries: Ireland, Spain and Croatia.

That’s a hefty dose of news. So looks like

the Walk will be fine. They’re just going to have to build a set for Cersei’s exit. Come to think of it, don’t they already have an exit to the Sept of Baelor?

On the Sibenik Cathedral, I have to say that’s just stupid. Yes, GOT has some controversial content, but it also helped Croatia a lot. The thing in Dubrovnik was understandable given that the scene in question was a controversial one, but just filming a shot for a wedding should be a problem at all.

Speaking of the wedding, I think there are only a couple of possibilities:

Tommen and Margery, which fits the lions, or (and I really hope this ain’t it) Myrcelka and Trystane.

On the whole king/queen platform, I just have no idea. Same with Garron Tower. Any clue where the Dornish are filming?

Can’t blame them for not wanting a naked actress prancing around their church for (most likely) a couple of days of shooting. After this clarification, I completely understand them. That cathedral thing on the other hand is complete bullshit.

OMG first photos of the sand snakes and the dornish members together !! so excited to see them in set

do you think my king and queen seated there they mean

I don’t think so. Also, where is Jessica Henwick in that pic? Was she taking the photo, maybe?

Why are my posts not appearing ? For some reason when i try to reply to someone it does not appear yet when i don’t they do,weird .

I mentioned on another site that the walk would go ahead and just green screen an exit from the church. Seems as though that’s the way their going. It’s a little strange that they’re not wanting a wedding filmed in the church, I can understand the walk of shame but I guess everyone’s entitled to their beliefs/opinions.

I really wish i was half as interested in Dorne on the show as I was in the books but their seems like theirs so many changes, I just can’t get excited.

The walk will be fine. When Francis Coppola was shooting Godfather III, the Vatican wouldn’t allow him to shoot a car entering the Holy See, so he put up a fake gate in front of the real one, and shot a car going through that instead. They’ll find a way.

They better make Areoh more interesting than he is in the books. He looks huge, so I’ll hope he’ll kick some major ass.

Don’t know if this has been reported or not:

Is anyone else thinking that the homestead and anvil, along with the blacksmith casting call from earlier, might be a way for Gendry to return as someone else’s apprentice. I need to know that his first attempt at rowing didn’t result in him drowning on the show.

Also from the EW article, the problem with the church is old news and they found a new location to use a while ago.

I need to know what happened to Gendry! Seconded!

Sometimes Hibberd irks me but I’m glad he’s rectified this locations trouble business. TMZ really are scumbags and its good to know that their scoop is outdated.

Good news, not that I expected anything else

And of course they said “the producers haven’t found a workaround yet” which is apparently complete bullshit. That’s just low.

I’m thinking the place with the anvil could be

Just to cite a croatian journalist concerning Sibenik bishop: Content of GOT (ASOIAF) did not bring anything new that has not been written in the Bible. Amen.

Very interesting though NI set, I also had in mind Ramsay and Farya, but it also could be Stannis and Selyse.

Maybe Sansa and Robyn (or anyone from the Vale).

Did the tiger survive the trip too? Or am I getting it mixed up with Life of Pi again?

So everything is ok now? They can film outside around the area?

Greatjon of Slumber: I’m sure Jonathan Pryce is excited too, but we’re talking about a two-time Tony winner here (has any other GoT cast member picked up a Tony?), so it’s not like this is his first rodeo. But for these people, I mean, wow, holy moly

Just representing New Zealand here, Keisha Castle-Hughes was nominated for a best actress Oscar, did’nt win but still

According to an EW article, they found another location for it long ago.

Yes, and that needs to have its own news article on this site, clearing up all the silly rumors. TMZ really shouldn’t be considered a source.

Mark Gatiss returning is also very noteworthy! Love him as a writer and actor, and really liked him as Tycho. His scene with Stannis and Davos was awesome (“You feel your blood gives you a claim on our gold?”.) Hopefully he is a recurring character this time.

Tried to post a response to Jack twice but the comment hasn’t appeared.

Sansa is taking FArya’s place, she will interact with Ramsay and Roose Bolton. Not be a prisoner of them though, Littlefinger will give her winterfell like he said.

No, she won’t. That’s completely absurd on many levels.
