Not Blackwater, not Hardhome, not the 'Battle of the Bastards', not the 'Spoils of War'. The biggest battle in the history of Game of Thrones (Game of thrones in Spanish) will be seen in the last season of the series and it is so epic that it took 55 days of recording.
One of the deputy directors of Game of Thrones recently shared a message to the series team to congratulate them for the work done in recent weeks and according to their statement, shared only on set but later leaked on social networks, they recorded a battle which took 55 days and required 3 different locations.
"This is for the Night Dragons, for enduring 55 nights in a row, for enduring the cold, the snow, the rain, the mud, the sheep shit of Toome and the winds of Magheramorne," said Quinlan, whose message was spread by Watchers on the Wall.
Toome and Magheramorne are two locations in Northern Ireland that have been used to record the eighth and final season of Game of Thrones and the deputy director's message is addressed to the team behind the scenes who, despite the cold, work in these places to give life to the show. Viewers can often miss the men behind the camera, but at least "they will understand that they are seeing something that has never been done before."
The third location was not specified by the deputy director, but from what he revealed, it can be said that this conflict is even bigger than the 'Battle of the Bastards' and 'Spoils of War', events that were dedicated to around a month of recordings
“When tens of millions of people around the world watch this episode a year from now, they won't know how hard they've worked. They won't care how tired you ended up or how hard it was doing this job in sub-zero temperatures. They will simply understand that they are seeing something that has never been done before. And that is thanks to you. Thank you".
The final battle of Game of Thrones will undoubtedly be fought by the armies of Westeros (Westeros) against the White Walkers (White Walkers) and it seems that it will break out mainly at night.
After Northern Ireland, production is moving on to Seville, where the Itálica archaeological site will house the final weeks of recording.
The amphitheater of these ruins was already used in the seventh season of Game of Thrones to recreate the Dragonpit (Dragon Pit) of King's Landing (King's Landing), but now it will be used in its entirety.
Filming will continue until May.
With six episodes, the eighth season of Game of Thrones will be released sometime in 2019 and according to the first rumors, it will be a complete bloodshed.
