Game of Thrones Back from Holiday Break with Daenerys in Belfast! 

These last few months, we have been witness to exciting filming reports coming to us from no fewer than three European countries: Spain, Croatia and Northern Ireland. Battles north and south, parades, reunions, historic meetings of main characters… All of them as thrilling as they were fleeting: Before we could savor it all,

shut down production for the holidays… But don’t fret: Now they’re back at it again!

. In the previous six years, all filming was done by the end of the year. However, the decision to benefit from real winter weather for season seven meant that filming began in late summer and now stretches into 2017, until February. Unprecedentedly,

will continue filming during the same year it airs, because of which it will premiere later than usual.

Now, how is it that we know they are back from their holiday break? Emilia Clarke was spotted yesterday in a flight to Belfast, Northern Ireland, and today Clarke shared the following moving picture on her

, not only wearing her silver blonde wig but also revealing today was their first day of work at the show’s Belfast studios or nearby:

For gods sake Emilia put the holiday champagne DOWN and put that wig back on! #firstdaybackinthepretendrealworld #dontdrinkanddrivedragonscapieche? 🤢

The truth is we are unlikely to get a whiff of whatever the cast and crew are cooking inside the Titanic Studios, so we shouldn’t expect reports as dramatic as those that came before —The Basque Country and Cáceres were particularly spoiler-filled. Nevertheless, we’ll keep an eye out for whatever may come from Belfast or wherever!

Honestly, I’m glad they’re done shooting outdoors. It’s too tempting to look at all the spoilery images! Keeps some surprises for us.

They may still film on location around Northern Ireland. And maybe in Iceland, though probably without actors, or else we may have heard something.

HOLD THE DOOR, Hope we get some more juicy info 😀

I’m hoping for plenty of indoor footage to be shot, because that’s where most of the delicious scheming tends to go on!

I was thinking about the fact that the two cleverest people in Westeros – among our core cast of characters, at any rate – are probably Tyrion and Littlefinger. And yet we’ve seen very little of them interacting, except in that wonderful sequence in Season 2 where Tyrion figures out which of three on the Small Council is Cersei’s mole. I do hope that we get a chance to see them match wits one more time before the end!

Of course, more people are bound to see material being recorded indoors than material being recorded in Iceland.

Thanks, I’m here all week. Remember to tip the staff.

Off topic, but wassup with the poster of a gagged Mel in Carice van Houten’s tweet on the right side of this page and why isn’t season 7 premiering tonight?????

I think Brimstone is a new movie starring Carice Van Houten, Kit Harington, and Carice’s husband, Guy Pierce. Don’t know much else about it though.

Someone wrote on social media that they are filming at Wolf Hill Quarry, this guy said he lives close to the set and that the lights from the set light up half the mountain. He also said they appear to be filming a nighttime scene, as the cameras only seem to be rolling after dark. Appearantly both Emilia and Kit are filming there tonight !

Oh, and season 7 was going to premiere tonight in secret until you spilled the beans, so that’s off now until this summer. Nice going! 🙂

Many thanks for the info, Derp. My kingdom for a delete button!

Yes, she’s going full Visenya combat dragon riding mode, a braid is easier for fights ! I am sooo excited to see what will happen tonight at Wolf Hill !

Emilia was getting her wig on 3 hours ago so they’re definitely shooting at night !

Wasn’t there a report of 6 main characters being involved in the Iceland filming? Was that false?

I didn’t think they were married? They are together and have a new baby

LOL…To be honest, I’m not sure how I DO know that. Carice Van Houten is hot. That is all. I know nothing else.

I didn’t think they were married? They are together and have a new baby

Meh, I can’t say I have all of the details here nor do I care to. They’re either married or together. Either way, it’s a distinction that isn’t really important to me. Apparently I truly know nothing 🙂

Yes, Kit was actually seen on the Wolf Hill Quarry set by the same guy who gave the rest of the information. Appearantly he lives 5 minutes down the road, he said both Kit and Emilia are shooting there tonight ! If he is telling the truth and the cameras are only rolling after dark, I am really curious how it will look like onscreen, the Battle of Blackwater was pretty dark, I hope the set is lit better this time around. It would make sense why the guy said half the mountain at Wolf Hill is filled with lights.

Not shooting on location doesn’t make sense. Wasn’t the whole point of shooting during the winter to benefit from actual cold weather? These same interior scenes could’ve been shot during July and August and would look exactly the same!

oierem: Not shooting on location doesn’t make sense.

Some types of effects really require being in a studio. And there often are indoor scenes interspersed with outdoor scenes. Some directors like to do these adjacent to each each other to maintain the same “feel” among the performers. (Others have no problems doing adjacent scenes months apart.)

This is from the movie Brimstone, I have been anxiously awaiting!! With 2 GoT stars (2 of my favorites) along with Dakota Fanning and Guy Pierce. Google it, sounds good. Premiers in March I believe.

Can’t be. Kit has been photographed out and about with a friend (of The Mountain’s height) in London today.

Interesting. So this guy says that Kit and Emilia are shooting there tonight, which sounds like it hadn’t happened yet at the time of the post. This would imply this guy has advanced knowledge of what is happening there rather than simply observing what is going on. Would be more interesting to see how true this actually is.

They’re surely shooting on location too. But only on Northern Ireland, as Croatia and Spain are done, as far as we are aware. Iceland is a big “maybe…?”.

Yup – doesn’t matter at all. But congrats to them on their baby! Wonder if Clarice is super tired

Whether or not that guy is right about both Kit and Emilia being there I think his right about a night scene, it looks too dark in Emilia’s IG to be the daytime. Loving the full on braid In Emilia’s IG, I hope it’s like the one she had in the last episode of season 1 as that was absolutely gorgeous.

why don’t you provide link to the comment? what’s the point of just saying some dude said something somewhere?

It’s in the comment section for WoW facebook site. Click comments and hes the one with the most likes.

I was beginning to suffer from WotW withdrawal, haha. Here’s a link to the Facebook comment everyone’s talking about.

If that dude is telling the truth, we should get set photos of Kit/Jon for he said he was photographed.

From what I understood the pics he took are from awhile ago. And he didn’t say he was going to share it.

I follow quite some people from the crew on instagram, and it seems like they’re all still on a break, apart from 2 girls from the hair team. Which leads me to think Emilia is doing a photoshoot or something. Also, according to some of the camera crew Iceland is indeed still on.

he says ‘Yeah Jon Snow has already been photographed on the set.’ He does say Kit was photographed by him on set a while ago. And there were no photos of Kit at WHQ from him.

I clicked on your link about Kit, went to the underlying Twitter page, and found a photo of Kit on set (of GoT, hopefully) holding what might be a wolf cub bearing a slight resemblance to Nymeria. I’ll try again to post the link.

Yes, i’m aware. Three units, actually. And made sure to follow a considerable amount of people working on all of those. That’s why I said I think emilia’s not actually filming yet. I obviously am not there though, to know what they’re up to. It’s just a thought.

That’s from when he was filming that John Donnovan movie

I think she probably is filming though it may be smaller scenes they didn’t get time to do before or it could be her interacting with dragons if so no other cast members would be needed.

Usually if it’s a photoshoot it’s not in studio and somewhere really gorgeous like when Emilia, Lena and Natalie had that photoshoot on that cliff. Also in photoshoot’s her hair is more intricate while it looked more like a simpler braid which probably means riding dragons or in a battle. She could be doing her indoor Iceland filming instead of going there.

They’re surely shooting on location too. But only on Northern Ireland, as Croatia and Spain are done, as far as we are aware. Iceland is a big “maybe…?”.

So we don’t know if the Wolf Hill filming from December 2016 is in conjunction with, or a replacement for, this filming block? Or something separate?

Well the only thing I’ve personally seen from the December shoot at Wolf Hill was Kit in a sort of wildling winter fur costume, chilling between takes. We also know Benjen and Tormund were closeby. If Emilia is joining now, then it’s 99% certain the shoots are connected chronologically, like I said a braid hairstyle signifies combat or sth along the lines of physical activity, definitely doesn’t look like her usual indoor posh style do’s. It’s a wee bit of a stretch but I’m guessing they did the

ww attack on the frozen lake in December with the 200 extras that were announced and now Daenerys is joining the fun to shoot the rescue scene.

That makes sense, they probably also need to finish Emilia’s scenes pretty soon because apparently at the end of the month she starts filming Star Wars Han Solo.

I don’t think the braids are a Visenya reference; they’re the Dothraki braids she’s adopted since Season 1. Big part to remind her that the Dothraki culture is where she first felt empowered/independent.

He’s not dressed warmly so I expect that’s an old photo taken in warmer weather which the twitter account has used just to say HNY. 🙂

I think you are right. If they are filming at WHQ, the other actors involved Rory, Iain, Kristofer etc must be there as well. It looks like this entire sequence is being filmed in NI itself. So maybe they cancelled their earlier plans to shoot in Iceland, maybe the weather conditions seemed too tough for them to shoot there?

I’m not so sure, They seemed to already film all those scenes before christmas by fans taking pics of all those guys together.

What we didn’t have is Emilia at the same time, so she could be filming those scenes now or dragon ones.

I know they are filming at Iceland but the question is whether or not the actors are going there or if their just filming scenery scenes to input in the wolf quarry ones, I guess we’ll find out when the filming crew gets to Iceland.

The leaks say that Dany rescues Jorah, Tormund, Sandor etc on her dragon and Jon gets left behind. So I assumed that is Emilia is filming the rescue scene, the others must be involved as well, especially if Kit is there as well.
