‘Game of Thrones’ Season 5 Trailer Shows the Sand Snakes, Another Wedding 

“Game of Thrones” made its Imax debut last night, and with it came the first trailer for season five, featuring old favorites and new faces as the battle for the Iron Throne rages on.

The trailer begins with Jaime Lannister keeping vigil over the body of his father, Tywin, in the Great Sept, following the Lannister patriarch’s death at the hands of his son, Tyrion.

Elsewhere, Tyrion has emerged on the other side of the Narrow Sea and catches up with Varys, who seems to be working towards Daenerys Targaryen’s return to Westeros so that she can claim the Iron Throne: “The Seven Kingdoms needs a ruler loved by millions with a powerful army and the right family name,” Varys observes knowingly.

“Good luck finding him,” Tyrion responds.

Other shots visit Daenerys and her cohorts in Mereen, with Ser Jorah preparing for battle against an unseen foe; the ongoing war in the North with Jon Snow and Stannis Baratheon; Cersei Lannister plotting her vengeance against Tyrion; Sansa Stark still in the company of the manipulative Petyr Baelish; Arya Stark beginning her journey in Braavos; the deadly Sand Snakes — the illegitimate daughters of Oberyn Martell; and what could be the wedding of Margaery Tyrell to Tommen Baratheon.

New cast members for season five include Alexander Siddig as Doran Martell; Jessica Henwick as Nymeria Sand; Rosabell Laurenti Sellers as Tyene Sand; and Keisha Castle-Hughes as Obara Sand. Check out the gallery above for intel on the nine new additions.

Shit quality of video. Ruins it. Better wait!

Why does it sound like CRAP? Did you guys recorded it with you cell phone or something? lol

so… no Ariana NOR Aegon? Or is Varis still trying to mary Danearys to him?

Ok so that just blew half the reason why I spent $20 to go see this, and the last 2 episodes of last season in IMax today. Thanks Variety. You’re fired

I doubt IMax and HBO are gonna be none to pleased either..

Not to be THAT gal, but should you really be sharing something that looks like it was filmed by someone with their smartphone at an IMAX showing of GoT before HBO has released the new trailer online? :-)

I suppose that as soon as you realized what it was you immediately stopped watching then.

If you´re THAT gal, I guess I am THAT guy. Seconded.

…so did you both actually read through the entire article above without watching the trailer?
