murder it's set in this interesting
world of contrasting ideologies and
what's right and wrong and has a great
philosophy about it
Game of Thrones is
about power struggles in a fantasy
Kingdom called Westeros and it's about
struggle for the the Iron Throne which
is the seed of power in this Kingdom
there's a war coming
Ned I don't know when I don't know who
we'll be
fighting but it's
coming at the core of it there there's a
a conflict for power between two great
houses initially house Stark and House
Lannister the other major houses are all
contenders as well it's a suitably
complicated political situation the old
truth that power corrupts I think is
very valid and it shows in this series
you see characters that come into power
and how they change in a way it's about
how people forget to see the uh bigger
picture this common threat that
everybody kind of ignores because they
they're too busy pursuing their own
interests and meanwhile outside the 7
kingdoms two great threats arising one
across the sea in the exiled Targaryen
siblings and another one far to the
North Beyond the Wall which is the
boundary of the Seven Kingdoms in lands
of uh Perpetual ice and cold where a
supernatural threat is
stirring it's very different from
anything that
been done I can't think of another
fantasy which is as dark as this one is
which is as gritty and as real every
single character is incredibly complex
you think you know them you think you've
got them pegged as uh what they
seemingly are but they really aren't is
there someone in your service whom you
trust completely yes the wiser answer
was no my lord it's not a good guy bad
guys story it's a story where everybody
is pursuing their own interest and
everybody is following their own code
and it's about those interests and those
ethics coming into conflict with each
other and it just provides a much a much
richer story than the guys in white
beating the guys in black but Bish
perhaps I was wrong to distrust you
distrusting me was the wisest thing
you've done since you climbed off your
horse it's quite a big sprawling epic
kind of uh story and fascinating
characters different characters very uh
Rich sort of tasty characters in there
you don't know who they all are and how
they fit in
shouldn't be out here mil Lord there's
no telling who has eyes where let them
look so I I've found it's very dense
it's very multi-layered I that's what I
find quite intriguing and quite
fascinating about this thing next darkk
is the uh center of the series he's he's
very realistic quite pragmatic character
it's his fine work it's not for sale if
his lordship wants the helmet I made it
for me forgive him my Lord there's
nothing to forgive he's principled he
has values and above all he's very loyal
you know and that's something that he uh
he demonstrates on on many occasions you
helped me win the Iron Throne now help
me keep them thing we were meant to rule
together that is the Lord of Winterfell
and he's uh married to catlyn pully
together they have uh a number of uh
children 17 years ago you rode off with
Robert barathan
you came back a year later with another
woman's son Jon Snow he's of an age with
Robb the eldest son and their closest
Brothers I would say Jon Snow is a young
hero in a lot of ways well Lord Snow it
appears you're the least useless person
year personally I think he has a a hell
of a lot of inner turmoil if he's
fighting between his ambition to be
someone and to make a mark on things I'm
ready you're not going you're no Ranger
J here
a man gets what he
earns when he earns his ambition can and
does make him do quite extreme things
the Lannisters are the Queen's family
Robert barathon the king who had the
daughter of another Grace house Cersei
Lannister she is the queen of the Seven
Kingdoms she's quite tricky layered and
power mad she's smart and political she
has a very hard time trusting anyone
you're just a soldier aren't you you
take your orders and you carry on I was
also train to kill my enemies Your
Grace as was I there's a definite sense
with cersi that if it will further her
game of power she'll get rid of anybody
it doesn't really matter Jamie her twin
brother is one of the members of The
King's Guard it would be good to have
you on the field competition has become
a bit stale I don't fight in tournaments
because when I fight a man for real I
don't want him to know what I can do he
is a soldier and he doesn't care about
the politics he knows the game and he
does not want to be directly involved in
it Cersei and Jamie also have another
brother Tyrion Lannister Tyrion
Lannister because of his size has had a
very complicated upbringing in relation
to his father and his sister he's very
well read he gets zero Powers with
physical defenses so he has to defend
himself with his uh wit and charm why'
you read so
much look at me and tell me what you
see is this a trick
what you see is a dwarf my brother has
his sword and I have my mind and a mind
needs books like a sword needs a wet
stone there's a set of characters that
you also encounter uh who are across the
narrow sea on an entirely different
continent may I present my honored
guests viseris of house targaryan the
rightful King of the Andals and his
sister Daenerys of House Targaryen he's
the man on a mission he's is fairly
obsessive about one thing which is
regaining his crown when they write the
history of my reign sweet sister they
will say it began today he's very bitter
and resentful of the people who took it
from him and he carries a huge burden
his sister is uh the NYS targaryan also
known as Theos Stormborn tell them to
stop you want the entire horde to stop
for how long until I command them
otherwise she goes on such a journey she
gets put up with a lot of obstacles
coming her way and every time she
overcomes and she succeeds and she kind
of just gets stronger and stronger as
she goes on she's an incredible
incredible Wicked person there's plots
within plots and wheels within wheels
and many people competing for one seat
going into this has always been
something very important to us that
thing's never look fake for us it's more
about creating this world and making it
an authentic and believable world but
it's not our world we were lucky enough
to have the help of a tremendously
gifted art
Department I'm responsible for the look
of the show from the kind of the floor
to the the sky and working out what the
CGI is going to be the whole look of it
from the from there downwards so that we
have a complete look to the
series you've got to create a world from
scratch that feels like you're in a
different time and different place so
it's creating different environments
that work that feel real but don't feel
like you know either contemporary or or
known periods that's that's the main
thing the biggest challenges have been I
guess the scale of the event we've we've
created very high standards for
ourselves to lot of bits to this and it
just has been a lot of stuff to pull
together Jama Jackson really ranged far
and wide to find the artistic resources
and the stylistic resources to give us a
world we haven't seen before there's an
Arctic Wasteland which is very far north
and you go all the way to a more desert
Wilderness and everything in between our
brief was to try to combine interesting
visual elements from a lot of different
societies and periods so we spent a lot
of time researching Medieval Europe we
looked at Oriental influences we looked
at Asian influences we looked at the
subcontinent we looked at African
influences we tried to find references
from a lot of different civilizations in
different times and combine
them you try and create a world that's
based in real physics even if it's
fantasy there has to be a reality to it
or it will just look like a set so
you're always trying to think right how
would these people live what would they
need why would they put things where
they where they do how how would it be I
think the approach we want to take is
that yes it is fantasy but it's very
grounded in reality and I think we want
to make it as real as possible and
that's same approach we're taking with
absolutely everything and I think as a
series goes on you'll see the great
difference between the four worlds in
which the series inhabits so it's very
important that to have a completely
different look and that the light be
different and
topography we've been given the luxury
of of being able to span various
countries so we scouted probably I don't
know 14 different countries when we're
trying to decide where to shoot and why
ultimately we decided to to to shoot
Northern Ireland you drive 25 minutes
and you're at some beautiful Forest
somewhere and you drive 45 minutes
you're at this great old castle it's a
huge scale shooting simultaneously in
two different countries as Malta and
irelands is a challenge but it's great
fun we love it it's one of the fun
things about this show is that we get to
make it up we're not queuing to any
particular historical period absolutely
this is a fantasy series and and that
gives us um a lot of freedom and that's
part of the fun of it fantasy is always
bigger I mean fantasy is larger and more
colorful and more exciting I think than
history so you take your inspiration
from something in history you make it
much bigger and and perhaps more
dramatic it's just the best story it's
fascinating and there's so many twists
and turns and and when you think you've
got it figured it it completely it
changes its mind and you follow it and
you get excited by it there's real
emotion and there's real relationships
that you can understand and relate to
and it's just brilliant It's a Wonderful
story this interesting combination of a
very real world with an overlay of
fantasy is a pretty intriguing
combination and I think it's something
that you've seen nowhere else on
television currently I don't think
anybody will do it quite the way HBO
does what do you know about fear fear is
for the winter when the Snows fall 100
ft deep fear is for the long night when
the white walkers move through the
woods when the sun hides for years
is and children are born and live and
die all in
darkness that is the time for fear my
Lord
