George R.R. Martin teased and quizzed the Game of Thrones spew in a panel at Comic - Con yesterday . The shape share their greatest GoT challenges and favorite scenes , the creators hinted at what ’s ahead , and Martin revealed the moment he wo n’t look on on television .
Martin boast a jaunty duet of flaming - covered brace as he moderated a playful and relatively spoiler - costless panel with cast of characters members Nikolaj Coster - Waldau ( Jaime Lannister ) , Kit Harington ( Jon Snow ) , Lena Headey ( Cersei Lannister ) , Peter Dinklage ( Tyrion Lannister ) , Jason Momoa ( Khal Drogo ) , and Emilia Clarke ( Daenerys Targaryen ) , as well as show Godhead David Benioff and D.B. Weiss .
Martin recoil off the panel by asking Benioff and Weiss how they got postulate with the project . Benioff admitted that when their factor post them the Scripture , he had never hear of A Song of Fire and Ice , but he was hooked from the moment Jaime push Bran out the window . “ It ’s like crevice on theme , ” he say . As they function on adapting the serial for blind , they were approached by several hoi polloi convinced they had found a agency to make a two - and - a - half - 60 minutes Game of Thrones feature motion picture ( a revelation that gain audible scoff from panellist and the audience alike ) , but he and Weiss always envisioned it as an HBO series , and consider themselves lucky that Martin agreed .
Among the panelists , Momoa steal the show , walking on stage in sunglasses and quickly pulling them down to reveal his Khal Drogo oculus makeup . When Martin call for Momoa , who star in the latest Conan film , who would win in a competitiveness between Drogo and Conan , Momoa did n’t waffle : “ Between you and me , Drogo would kick Conan ’s ass ” and proceed to yell a Dothraki war shout out into the microphone .
Drogo fans will also be in for a treat when the first time of year comes out on DVD . Benioff and Weiss explained that erase view are unbelievable since very little ended up on the carving room floor . But in increase to extras create by the yield squad ( and artwork from storyboard creative person Will Simpson ) , the videodisk readiness will include the cast members ’ first auditions , so we can see their first interpretations of the characters . Benioff single out Momoa ’s audition , which let in a special saltation Momoa decided to perform for the cast film director to prove his Charles Frederick Worth as Khal Drogo .
Martin enquire Headey if it was unmanageable die from act a heroic character on Terminator : The Sarah Connor Chronicles to the nefarious Queen Cersei . Headey repeatedly express great affection for Cersei ( and says she ’s gotten flack from fans for humanise the character ) , but say it ’s fun to play a character who is n’t trying to be morally proficient . “ I ’m not looking to please mass . But then people come up and say , ‘ Oh I detest you . ’ It ’s shocking . ” When Martin involve Dinklage if play such a darling reference affected his act as approach , Dinklage noted that everyone on the panel had “ big shoes to meet . ” He paused . “ Yeah , it was terrifying . ”
Martin tease Harington about the Jon Snow posters sure to be hanging on girlfriend ’ walls – and joked that he always hope that a Twilight - manner “ Team Jon ” and “ Team Robb ” would come forth from the show . He then demand how Harington would feel about replacing his canine tooth co - stars with tool skirt chaser . “ The matter about marionette woman chaser , ” Harington said , “ is they do what they ’re told . I love Cooper – [ the dog who plays ] Ghost – but he does n’t do what he ’s told . He just wanted the kernel from my hand . ”
For Momoa , the prospect of acting in the made - up Dothraki words was frighten off , especially one that , in his words , sounds like a cross between “ Jabba the Hutt and Fozzie Bear . ” But after a lot of pizza pie and a lot of Guinness , he was game .
One buff asked the actor to name which prospect was their favorite to film . Coster - Waldau was quick to jest , “ Isaac was really annoying , so pushing him . No ! No ! That ’s a jest . I really care my last scene with Catelyn . ” Headey take a scene not from the leger , the first shot between Cersei and Robert , which she felt bring out a great deal about their kinship . Momoa had in the beginning expounded at distance on Drogo ’s tongue - extricating fight setting , which he helped craft ( apparently , he daydream about ripping someone ’s throat out ) , and Martin say he quite enjoyed . Dinklage refer his tribulation as a personal favorite , “ because it was a long day and there were a lot of spear carrier . So I felt like a victor of ceremonies for a fortune of blase extras . ” For Clarke , the option was light : the last scene of the season . “ Then getting to see it properly on screen was amazing , ” she said . “ When I see those dragons – I got shivers . ”
Coster - Waldau had the most amusing answer for a fan who wanted to know how the actors would end the series : “ There ’s a magnanimous battle and it fades to black . It comes up with a sign that says , “ Twenty years afterward . ” There ’s a cottage . Jaime and Cersei come out , and he says , “ Finally , my love . Finally . ”
So what can fan expect for the coming time of year ? “ It ’s time to meet the red priestess , ” Benioff allege . “ And it ’s clip to see those wolves and dragons grow up . ”
Weiss added , “ It ’s a season of exploration . ”
The challenge , the creators said , is if and when they get to Season Three , since A tempest of Swords wo n’t fit neatly into a single time of year . Benioff is especially concerned with reaching an event in A tempest of Swords that he would refer to only by the initials “ R.W. ” “ If we get to R.W. , ” he enunciate , “ we ’ll know we ’ve done something . If we can get to R.W. , then I can retire . ”
As for the future tense of the volume series , one fan asked Martin if he was afraid of pulling a Lost . “ I am concerned about the ending , ” he admitted . “ I still have two books to go and I ’m juggling a lot of balls , and there is that fear that some of those balls will bring down on my head . But I ’m just going to keep juggle as fast as I can . ” He restate what he ’s say fans before : expect a bittersweet end .
And does he ever mourn those characters he ’s pop ? Martin firm believes that the knowledge that a part could perish at any moment is crucial to a reader ’s excited investment in the character , but that has n’t made those death any easier . “ Actually , ” he tell , “ I mourn all the character as I kill them . ” He reminded the audience that he spends a lot of time crawling around inside his point - of - aspect characters ’ heads . “ I ’ve live with some of these lineament for 20 age , and it ’s hard when I have to kill them , and I separate myself it ’s not me killing the character ; it ’s the other characters . ”
He describes a certain death that hap two third of the means through A tempest of Swords as “ the hardest thing I ’ve ever pen . ” In fact , he put off drop a line that special scene until after he had written the relaxation of the book of account . “ It was as wrick to write as I ’m certain it was for many of you to show . ”
In fact , it ’s the one affair he ’s not looking forwards to seeing on the show . “ I think when they show it , I ’m going to arrange to be out of the country to some post that does n’t have television yet . ”
