Game of Thrones - David Benioff on Shooting Locations

Aug 11, 2011

Share on Reddit


Variety’s Emmy Central blog has an article that speaks to the showrunners of various series nominated for “Best Drama” at this year’s award, including HBO’s Game of Thrones (see the full list of Emmy nominations for the show). One common refrain is the envy some showrunners have towards the big-budget HBO programs such as Boardwalk Empire and Game of Thrones. But when David Benioff is quoted, he’s discussing how the budget has gone towards allowing the production to film in two countries last season… and now three this season:

    I'm really looking forward to the scenes beyond the wall and the Frostfangs in particular!

    Very interesting thanks for sharing. The large tax incentives must help the cost for filming in Northern Ireland

    Wow. Three countries. Forget about the cost! That has to be so tiresome for cast and crew both. NOt that I'm in any way ungrateful mind you. :D

    They had 3 shoot locations for Season One too. Mostly shot in Ireland of course, but then the Essos scenes in the pilot were shot in Morocco and after the pilot shot in Malta.

    Maybe 4 locations... I think some of the pilot's Winterfell scenes were shot in Scotland if I recall correctly. Although Ireland to Scotland is not much of a hike compared to  Iceland or Malta.

    The production schedule has to be an absolute nightmare.

    I'm looking forward to that exact same thing, with some improvements.  There were a few scenes in season one where the woodland snowfall was obviously plastered on and looked fake enough to be distracting.

    Glad Game of Thrones are in the Emmy line up.  Loved the books.
