Game of Thrones searching for soldier extras and lebih in Spain 

We have new details today concerning the season 7 casting for

on their Facebook the first complete casting call for extras this year, providing details as to what they’re searching for in performers in the Cáceres region. The call also gives us more of an idea of how long 

is planning to film in the area: approximately November 14th to December 15th.

The posting also indicates that ModExpor will be sharing info soon about the extras castings in Córdoba (for the Almodóvar del Río location) and in Seville.

For extras in Cáceres province, the casting is based in Malpartida, taking place on September 13th and 14th, from 9:00am to 2:00pm in the municipal sports hall.

According to ModExpor, they’re looking for adults in the 18-50 age range (no minors) and people of all races.

Characteristics they’re particularly looking for and give preference to include:

– Men in good physical conditions- for soldiers. They mentioned that they “will value those with military experience.”

– Men with short/medium/long hair and women with long hair.

– People with very modern hairstyles will be removed from the casting. Hair color has to be uniform, without streaks, and has to be natural hues- they don’t accept colors such as green, blue, pink, etc.

– Men should be prepared to be grow or cut their facial hair, if needed.

– They prefer locals, and generally people who will actually be living in the Cáceres area during filming.

Extras will have to be available for shooting in Cáceres, Trujillo (also found in Cáceres province) or Malpartida from November 14th to December 15th.

After the thorough screening of applicants, ModExpor will be inviting only 2400 men and 600 women to take part in the second day of casting. Invitations to casting on the 14th will be given only on the morning of September 13th. The number of extras who will make the final cut is unknown.

With the wide range of extras sought in the Cáceres province, it may be tough to narrow things down in speculation. But based on the locations involved, we still believe that the city of Cáceres and its well-preserved Old Town will serve as the base for shooting King’s Landing and other possible city scenes, such as Westeros’ Oldtown.

Trujillo Castle and Malpartida filming in Los Barruecos may have more particular requirements in extras, but they can be extracted from the large general pool of applicants who will be turning up at the call. The call for soldier-like men, ones with military experience, makes the Unsullied a good possibility. There have been rumors of Los Barruecos being part of a battle scene on/near the water, so soldiers would certainly be needed for that.

They’re looking for people of all races. It’s definetly Daenerys’ army.

Spain, Spain, all about Spain. Nothing but King’s Landing, Dorne, Dany, possibly Oldtown/Dragonstone since the production started. When will we hear anything about other locations and casting calls for them?

And/or the Dornish one. I must have become too fixed on that map from In Production teaser, but it clearly hints to the Lannisters in Dorne.

Daenerys only her enormous army needs so many extra for soldier

BTW, can anyone explain about the visible tatoos? Does that mean tatoos on chest/arms/sholders? If yes, I assume that the soldiers will be barely dressed which means that Dany has forgot to equip her army with winter clothing. Shame! Shame! Shame!

It says that about tattoos on every casting call they post. They just don’t want to deal with people have tattoos all over their arms and hands and faces where they have to worry about getting them covered.

The call only mentions tattoos in arms and legs.

An interesting thing that they are casting 600 women. Where do they go? I remember how D&D talked about some 4 people in the throneroom scene which was replaced with some sort of extravagance in the streets with numerous extras. I have the guest that it will be Euron’s triumph. It could have been arranged in the throneroom with Cersey, Euron, Qyburn and the Mountain (or Jamie), or it could have been turned into a parade through the streets and for that they might need a lot of women extras (along with men, who may play both victorious soldiers and their captives and KL citicens too). What do you think.

Thanks for clarification. Then I can hope that Dany has not forgot to make furcoats for her army.

Very cool that these companies are casting extras locally. Question: does anyone know if there are ever any opportunities for wannabe extras who are not residents of Northern Ireland and Spain? If one is able to commit to traveling to a filming location and staying for the full filming duration, are there any casting companies for residents from other parts of the world?

“Hair color has to be uniform, without streaks, and has to be natural hues- they don’t accept colors such as green, blue, pink, etc.”

Thin people must surely be unsullied right..

I just hope the women soldiers Belong to dothraki…

I just hope the women soldiers Belong to dothraki…

How would this happen? There is no ‘shieldmaiden’ tradition in Dothraki culture, no opportunity for women to be trained to fight. It’s a society where gender roles are extremely rigid – not at all like the Free Folk.

As for the call for thin people, I thought not of soldiers but of the populace of cities cut off from the flow of food provisions by war.
