11 weeks of grueling filming, during which 750 people worked under the ice rain and permeating wind, day and night - this was what the creation of the final battle between people and the army of the dead. The last episode, according to the creators, will collect on the screen of all living characters "Games of Thrones". "That our film crew made this year, no one has ever decided," said Bryan Cogman's co-producer.
Macy Williams said that the director Miguel Sapkeepers ordered her to start training a year before the filming of the battle scene. "I said:" Yes, yes, yes. " But in fact, nothing can prepare you for this exhausting process. Night at night, again and again. You can not hurt, you need to look after yourself. There are moments when you break, because you are a person, and you want to cry, "described the shooting of the actress. Her words confirmed the performers of the roles of Psa and Jorach Mormont: "It was the most unpleasant experience during working on the series. This test. Everyone prayes so that this is no longer done. "
Miguel Sapkeeper tried to find the same scene to the scene, what will be in the "game of the throne", and could not. The most suitable example was the 40-minute battle for Helmov's Paga in the "Lord of the Rings", on which the creators tried to understand how to make the final duel between the characters and the king of the night interesting and truly exciting. The work was so difficult that the shooting schedule was unofficially called "Long Night." However, Dan Wayss and David Benioff guaranteed that all the works would pay off with interest.
The premiere of the eighth season will be held April 14, 2019.
