Judging by the latest news it seems we will not see the final of Game of Thrones before the spring of 2019. However, as the eighth and final season approaches, there have been numerous leaks and much anticipation surrounding it. Above all, there is a story about a mysterious battle that took 55 nights of filming to completion.
The producers of the HBO fantasy series recently wrote a thank you note to the production team in appreciation of their titanic enterprise in shooting for so many nights in a row, on three different locations.
Assistant director Jonathan Quinlan saved a screenshot of the letter and posted it on Instagram, deleting it shortly afterward. Fortunately some “fast finger” saved and published it on the web, so we can show it below.
The letter
This is for the Night Dragons.
For enduring 55 straight nights. For enduring the cold, the show, the rain, the mud, the sheep sh*t of Toome and the winds of Magheramorne.
When tens of millions of people around the world watch this episode a year from now, they won’t know how hard you worked. The won’t care how tired you were or how tough it was to do your job in sub-freezing temperatures.
They’ll just understand that they’re watching something that’s never been done before.
And that’s because of you.
Game of Thrones: An absolute record for the films and TV series
Fifty five nights of filming undoubtedly represent a sort of record for television and probably for cinema as well. We know little more than the time it took to film the entire battle. What we are sure of, however, is that it will be an epic performance, shot in Toome and Maghermorne in Northern Ireland. Whatever the case, as it is Game of Thrones, we are sure there will be plenty of blood.
