New foto of Game of Thrones filming in Osuna’s bullring 

season five filming has moved to Osuna, Spain, now with production largely centered about the town’s bull ring. It is generally accepted that the ring will stand in for Daznak’s Pit, the setting for a major scene in

has several new photos of the location shooting occurring over the last couple days, which we’ll tuck beneath a cut for spoiler reasons!

Shooting at the moment appears to be focused mostly on scenes using doubles. As we can see in the photo below, the stand-in for Tyrion Lannister (wearing a new outfit for the character) was present for filming. With Peter Dinklage already in town, we can expect to see the man himself on the set any day now. The production will be in Osuna until the end of the month.

Shooting in Osuna, however, has run into a snag: the east winds, according to a tweet from this morning:

Filming may now be delayed until the green screen is fixed.

Seeing khaleesi in jeans (even if that’s the stunt double) finds my dragon, if you know what I mean.

This scene is shaping up to be amazing, hope they fix the green screen quickly and with little expense. Tyrion’s costume is pretty decent for a

isn’t it? I was expecting him to look a little worse for wear.

Obligatory testosterone filled remark incoming, Dany’s double in dem jeans = Hnnnnngggg!

Has Gwendoline Christie been seen filming yet? I mean there isn’t really a reason for her to be in season 5

Yes, Christie was seen filming months ago. Also, there is this official post. There were rumors that she will have a scuffle with Knights of the Vale and maybe encounter and be rebuffed by Sansa —but I don’t remember if that was based on pure speculation or if something was glimpsed during filming. Anyway, what do you mean there is no reason for Brienne to be in Season 5?

, if D&D have decided to go the route of the ‘Brotherhood without Banners’ for her Season 5 climax, no matter if Lady Stoneheart is included or not. However, even if there wasn’t any more available source material, they wouldn’t just

include a main cast character. They will give her something to do, don’t worry.

I dont think these will be Tyrion’s everyday slave clothes. More likely it’s the ones he’s given for his appearance in the pit and it suits well.

And hell yeah, even if we dont see her face, Dany’s double is dragon-hot in those pants ! =D

Anybody remember when GRRM said AFFC and ADWD would require multiple seasons to adapt….

Seems like Michiel Huisman is making a move!

Paddy Wallace as Lead Kingsguard. Peter Silverleaf as Elboneno.

Stella McCusker in an unknown role. She’s filming this month.

What have you seen that shows you this is shaping up to be an amazing scene? All I’ve seen are photos of some actors and extras on a set. I have not seen a script, special effects, cinematography, directing, editing or heard a musical score.

I’m sooo looking forward to the pit scene. I think it will be fantastic. I was also wondering about Brienne. Really curious how they’re going to handle her and Pod’s story and quite frankly it’s killing me not knowing what’s going to happen.

Stella McCusker in an unknown role. She’s filming this month.

Here’s a picture of Ms. McCusker, since I didn’t see one included on her resume.

She’s the right age and looks like she could fit the part, but it’s worth noting that Mark Mylod is listed as the director for her episode(s). It’s been reported that the flashback is likely to serve as the cold open for Season 5, in which case Michael Slovis should be the director.

Since her character’s name isn’t listed and we don’t know where she’s filming, she could appear in pretty much any storyline. My guess would be that she’ll be shooting in Northern Ireland, because she doesn’t really have a Meereenese look. But who knows?

She’s based in Dublin I believe, so the Northern storyline is most likely.

Does anybody have any idea who might Lead Kingsguard be?

Could Stella McCusker be the old woman who’s reported to be “helping Brienne in dangerous territory” (or something like that)?

Thanks! And nice work finding these three actors, by the way!

If Ms. McCusker is based in NI, my best guess would be that she’s playing a wildling. Maybe she’ll be featured in the scene where

Alternatively, Messy Justin Massey‘s idea that she could be the woman from Brienne’s storyline sounds quite plausible as well.

I would be so, so happy if she’s going to be Lady Dustin

James Hibberd said that the flashback in the season would be in the first episode (and that it would actually open the season). That means Maggy will be in a Michael Slovis episode rather than Mark Mylod one.

I’m pretty sure the old woman that helps Brienne has more than one or two appearances…Maybe Sue the Fury could confirm based on the casting call that she saw.

I too would be quite pleased if it turned out that she was actually playing Lady Dustin. Not only because I think that she’s a great minor character, but because it would mean that casting for the Winterfell part of the Northern storyline was underway (so far I think that Emma Maguire’s “Winterfell worker” is the only definitive addition), and we might theoretically start hearing about other roles that people have been quite eager to have confirmed.

However, I have to concede that McCusker playing the woman from Brienne’s storyline is the simpler and more logical explanation.

Makes sense if she’s the woman from Brienne’s storyline. Gwen is finishing up Star Wars so the core of the Brienne story will probably be shot in November/December

(which incidentally is also after Michelle Fairley finishes shooting Resurrection).

My old comment went into moderation because of a link I edited into it, but I’d said that I’m pretty sure that the old woman who helps Brienne appears in more than one or two episodes. Folks who saw the casting call could say for sure but I remember hearing something of the sort.

Agreed, she’s a very fascinating minor character and I love her scenes with Theon and Roose, I’d be super happy about ANY Barbrey Dustin (whoever would play her)… Sigh, and my beloved Lord Too-Fat-To-Sit-A-Horse…

Ah, interesting; I hope you’re right, ’cause that would mean she COULD very well be involved the Northern storyline…

The spam filter needs to be tweaked somehow, imo. I posted the showreels of the actors Carne found (only 3 links) and the comment is awaiting moderation…

There’s nothing wrong with the spam filter, it’s doing its job. You posted several links in one post, which reads as spam-like. You posted the reels six minutes ago so it wasn’t very long to wait for someone to approve the post.

And considering that we get about 2000 pieces of spam a day, I think having a spam filter is a pretty good thing. A rare inconvenience is worth it.

Wow if that Emilia’s double they really found a ringer.

Odd because even from the side and back that does look like a Huisman double.

That ‘Danny’ is wearing the right boots , do does the costume go over the top of that?

I wasn’t complaining about the spam filter per se, I agree that it is needed, but wouldn’t it be enough to up the number of links reading as spam to let’s say five?

– Anyway, I also agree that usually posts get fished out of the spam filter very fast here, so it isn’t a big deal. No hard feelings.

You need to calm down and stop trolling the spam filter!

Elboneno is probably the second master (“Eaton”‘s friend) who is described in this wotw post from August. http://watchersonthewall.com/game-thrones-heading-volantis-new-season-5-spoilers/ The guy playing Eaton/eaten is also appearing in a Podeswa episode and Silverleaf fits the plump description of the second master who suffers “a trauma”.

Woah, they’re filming now there? Aaargh, I’d do (almost) anything for a photo of Stephen, Liam, Carice, Kit, John, aso.!

McCusker might be the “Wildling Elder” we heard about a while back if they’re filming at Castle Black now.

Liam Cunningham and Carice van Houten usually tweet about commuting over to Westeros when they go in for filming, so I don’t think they’re there right now as neither have mentioned it.

I thought he/she would be needed for filming in November?

That’s true (I’m btw “The Onion Sleight” from westeros.org ;-), I hope, they’re going to tweet again about their filming and when they go to the set… And maybe Carice posts even more than pictures of her red boots and Baratheon-soldier-shields (I love the pic of her and Kerry in furs ^_^)

Pleased to re-meet you! Hopefully they do sound off on twitter soon, hopefully even later today! (While I’m a beggar choosing, I might as well get ambitious). It would be great for Carice to give us another s5 tidbit too…

(unless the wrong director is listed on her CV), this cracked me up when I looked for pictures of her:

This picture, accompanied with the description: “Stella McCusker plays The Fortune Teller whose curse causes a group of teens some major problems in Road Kill.”

Thanks =) Yeah, that would be great, fortunately, Carice’s usually quite communicative and open about such (spoiler-y) things, I’m looking forward to hear news from her or Liam (hopefully) soon.

this guy as well who’s playing a “Foreign Merchant.”

LOL! XD She would be/have been as Maggy definitely superb, too!

Thank you very much for always finding these news/infos!

I know it sounds silly but she looks like Michelle Fairley. Could it be?

Wasn’t it reported that Elizabeth Webster (Fat Walda’s actress) is filming in October? So, does this mean the Winterfell crew is now/soon busy?… And hopefully some other Northern lords/ladies, too?

McCusker does look like an older Michelle Fairley. I seriously hope it’s not a recast.

But what about Paddy Wallace? Lead Kingsguard seems like a fairly significant title…

I’m looking forward to seeing that Pit’s scene. It was like my favorite scene of the whole book, so I’m pretty excited about it.

By the way, there has been news about Sam? Because I really want to know what are they doing with Sam in the show… I wanna see the scene that Arya and Sam meet…

Interesting bits of casting just because it’s not necessarily stuff to do with Mereen.

Lead Kingsguard could just mean an extra in Kingsguard uniform or if they’re going to cast him as a named KG then the only ones that really fit his profile are Swann or Oakheart who both should really be in Dorne this season…unless they’re bringing in the Kettlebacks which would seem a bit daft.

Lady Dustin would be great but if they’re casting her surely there’s the need to cast Wymen too. Could possibly be Lady Glover if they’re going to have Asha/Yara, Stannis and Deepwood Motte featured?

There’s nothing wrong with the spam filter, it’s doing its job. You posted several links in one post, which reads as spam-like. You posted the reels six minutes ago so it wasn’t very long to wait for someone to approve the post.

Could you at least loosen the reins a bit to allow the Thomas Sabo posts through? Christmas is coming and I am all out of gift ideas for my main squeeze. Nothing says “I didn’t know she was your sister” like a Pandora charm bracelet.
