‘Game of Thrones’ Sophie Turner Shuts Down That Pesky Pregnant Sansa Theory
Now that all the dust, fire, blood and snow has settled on Game of Thrones Season 6, it’s a comfort to look back on the crazier theories that never came to pass. No, Lady Stoneheart won’t be joining the series, and Bran won’t be whispering sweet-nothings to the Mad King just yet, but above all else, we can finally let go of that dumb “Sansa is pregnant” theory. So says Sophie Turner herself!
THAT ‘Game of Thrones’ Star Asked to Be Let Go Earlier Than the Finale
And lo, Game of Thrones has come to yet another end with last night’s “The Winds of Winter,” an explosive climax with a higher body count than usual, thanks to Cersei’s fiery wiles. One death certainly hit harder than all the rest, though apparently the series-long star had asked for an even earlier end to their character.
Go Behind the Scenes of ‘Game of Thrones’ Incredible ‘Battle of the Bastards’
At long last, Game of Thrones finally brought us its first proper battle in Sunday’s aptly-named “Battle of the Bastards,” offering everything we hoped it could be. So much work went into the final showdown between Jon Snow and Ramsay Bolton, that HBO released a full ten-minute featurette chronicling production.
‘The Walking Dead’ Auditioned Negan Model Henry Rollins for the Role
Long before The Walking Dead confirmed Negan to arrive with the Season 6 finale, fans touted suggestion after suggestion of actors perfectly suited to the bombastic role. Chief among them, perhaps, was music icon Henry Rollins, on whom Negan’s comic likeness was actually based, who now admits he’d actually auditioned for the role that Jeffrey Dean Morgan ultimately claimed.
‘Game of Thrones’ Releases ‘Battle of the Bastards’ and ‘Winds of Winter’ Synopses After All
Secrecy has proven something of a sore subject for Game of Thrones Season 6, with HBO attempting to limit the availability of spoilers (even from the press), and oftentimes failing miserably. To wit, the network even amusingly offered its final two Season 6 episode releases without any description whatsoever, but Emmy ballots for “Battle of the Bastards” and “The Winds of Winter” tell a different story.
Jon Snow Takes on Ramsay in ‘Game of Thrones’ First ‘Battle of the Bastards’ Trailer
It’s that time again, as Game of Thrones finally arrives at its ninth episode of the year, with Season 6 promising to deliver a “proper battle” with “Hardhome” director Miguel Sapochnik’s aptly-named “Battle of the Bastards.” The first trailer promises more depth and destruction than ever, but might Jon Snow’s return have been for naught?
‘Game of Thrones’ Actor Either Trolling Lady Stoneheart Fans, Or in HBO Trouble
We’re only three episodes from the end of Game of Thrones Season 6, and conspiracy theorists are out in full swing, particularly when it comes to the long-awaited arrival of “Lady Stoneheart.” We’ve heard arguments back and forth as to whether the character would ever appear, but now an actor behind one of three mystery characters from “The Broken Man” is either having fun teasing fans, or about to get the hammer from HBO.
National Lampoon Slams Unauthorized ‘Drunk Stoned Brilliant Dead’ Biopic Series
Just the other day, National Lampoon seemed reborn as 2015 documentary Drunk Stoned Brilliant Dead: The Story of the National Lampoon spawned an A+E scripted TV series. One small hitch, however, as the real National Lampoon isn’t too happy about the association, saying “A+E has no rights; they can’t say ‘National Lampoon’ at all.”
‘Game of Thrones’ Bosses Confirm Hodor Twist Came From George R.R. Martin
For all the myriad revelations of Game of Thrones Season 6, book readers have taken small comfort in knowledge that the HBO series may not necessarily reflect George R.R. Martin’s unpublished books. The same can’t be said of Sunday’s big “The Door” twist, as showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss say the Hodor reveal came straight from the author himself.
‘Walking Dead’ Universal Attraction Sets Opening Day, New BTS Preview
It was two months ago we first heard that The Walking Dead’s yearly Universal Studios attraction had earned a permanent place in the amusement park, and now we know when, and which walkers will storm the gates. Not only will the exhibit open in July, but a new BTS video shows the team using actual molds from famous walkers on the series.
