Not something to experience again: George RR Martin on 'Game of Thrones' success

<p>While fans of the popular HBO show `Game of Thrones` are still reeling over its end, here`s some good news that might cheer you up!<br />
<br />
A large group of cast members will be attending the 2019 San Diego Comic-Con, so you can get your questions ready for the cast of the show, reported E! News.<br />
<br />
The panel, which will take place on July 19 in the biggest hall at the convention will include Maisie Williams (Arya Stark), Isaac Hempstead Wright (King Bran Stark), Jacob Anderson (Grey Worm), John Bradley (Samwell Tarly), Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime Lannister), Liam Cunningham (Davos Seaworth), Nathalie Emmanuel (Missandei), Iain Glen (Ser Jorah Mormont), and Conleth Hill (Varys).&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Show creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss will also be on the panel, along with director Miguel Sapochnik.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
However, a number of big names will be missing the event, including Emilia Clarke (Daenerys), Kit Harington (Jon Snow), Sophie Turner (Sansa Stark), Lena Headey (Cersei Lannister), and Peter Dinklage (Tyrion Lannister).&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Comic-Con panels typically include a conversation with the cast followed by questions from the audience, which could get really interesting after the reception to the season eight, which wasn`t exactly the warmest.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Every episode of the show`s final season has sparked controversy with fans venting out their disappointment and anger on the internet with some choosing hilarious memes to express their opinion.<br />
<br />
The final season also came under fire for its <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/game-of-thrones-lena-headey-feels-her-character-cersei-lannister-deserved-a-better-death-228054">treatment of female characters</a>. Industry veterans and critics alike slammed the show for its handling of Emilia Clarke`s character, Daenerys Targaryen.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The show`s conclusion left fans with many unanswered questions. Maybe some of those unanswered questions will be answered during the Comic-Con.<br />

More cast members gathered for a special reunion that will be included with the `GoT` box set, which is set to release December 3, giving its fans the perfect Christmas gift.&nbsp;<br />

'Game of Thrones' cast is reuniting for Comic-Con, but not everyone will attend

<p>Despite the criticism it received for its last season, 'Game Of Thrones' will go down in history as one of the greatest TV shows ever. The show, which had eight seasons, left behind an undeniable legacy as it ended in May. And while fans across the world have been upset at the way the show ended, they are also sad that there will be no more of 'GOT'. Well looks like HBO may just have the perfect gift to cheer all the fans up!<br />
<br />
HBO announced that `Game of Thrones: The Complete Collection`, a limited-edition Blu-ray set will hit shelves on December 3, 2019, and it comes complete with the highly-anticipated `Game of Thrones: Reunion Special`.<br />
<br />
The two-part show, hosted by Conan O`Brien, features cast members from the last season reuniting with fan-favourites like Sean Bean, Jason Momoa and more.<br />
<br />
In addition to the reunion, other bonus content includes deleted scenes which never made it to the show and extended scenes, animated histories and lore segments, behind-the-scenes featurettes, audio commentary and the final season documentary the much-hyped `Game of Thrones: The Last Watch`.<br />
<br />
Each season is represented by a different layer, showcasing iconic characters and memorable moments from the series, all clambering toward the Iron Throne. Look at some of the scenes and relive your favourite show like never before!<br />
<br />
HBO released a small video of the reunion on their official YouTube handle which features Bean, Kit Harington, Maisie Williams, Sophie Turner, and Isaac Hempstead-Wright, the Starks, looking back at how much all the younger cast members grew over the eight seasons.The cast looks excited seeing their behind-the-scenes footage.

"I`ve never done anything like this before," little Williams says as adult Williams covers her face in shock.The best one?

To that, present-day Harington says, "F--k off!"<br />
<br />
The reunion clip also shows audition tapes of the stars in addition to their behind-the-scenes interviews."I think we`re going to be friends for a long time," Turner says about Williams."This has been, not only a family to me, but I`ve grown up with these people.

'Game of Thrones' cast goes back in time in a special reunion show, watch the trailer

<p>After an eight-year-long journey, the HBO show `Game of Thrones` left behind an undeniable legacy as one of the most popular series. From months of anticipation and excitement to being shocked and sad with unexpected deaths, the show gave its fans a world full of imagination.<br />
<br />
And while it`s been weeks since the show concluded, everyone is still reeling over a lot of things that happened in the last season and the discussions surrounding the series don`t seem to end.<br />
<br />
During an interview with the Filmmaker Toolkit, as cited by E! News, director Miguel Sapochnik, the man who helmed season eight`s episode three titled `The Long Night`, the very big and dark, White Walker battle episode, said there was a big scene that would`ve delighted fans but was never shot.<br />
<br />
"It was a much bigger sequence than we shot. And there were many things that happened that people would`ve been so happy to have happen, attacks of direwolves, crazy stuff," he said. "At some point you`re like, 50 direwolves attacking an undead dragon does not a good movie make," he added.<br />
<br />
Jon Snow`s (Kit Harington) Ghost was the only direwolf seen at the battle. But imagine if Bran (Isaac Hempstead-Wright) had done his thing and gotten a bunch of direwolves there to save the day. The other direwolf that was there was Arya Stark`s (Maisie Williams) wolf Nymeria.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Her direwolf assembled a pack of her own when she popped up in season seven. "Dave and Dan were heading towards the finish line and they were unrelenting in what they expected of us. Then their mantra to us is, `It`s going to kill us, but it`s going to be great.` And we were like, `No, no, it`s actually going to kill us if we don`t stop,`<br />
<br />
Sapochnik said speaking of the cuts. "They were completely ruthless when it came to that kind of thing of, `No, we want this, we want this.` And at the same time, there were moments of realization that we physically can`t do some of these things and other things we can," he added.<br />
<br />
This dragon and direwolf battle was never shot, but `GoT` did film a scene that was cut that would have changed a lot of things in season eight.&nbsp;<br />

Kit Harington returns home after treatment at wellness facility

<p>The much anticipated final season of 'Game Of Thrones' is also perhaps the most crticised. Fans across the world criticised the makers for not plating up several tracks and a lot of <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/game-of-thrones-season-8-is-the-lowest-rated-season-of-the-popular-series-218244">them did not agree with the way the story ended</a>.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Miguel Sapochnik, who directed season eight`s episode five titled `The Bells` shed some light on the bad decisions made by Emilia Clarke`s character Daenerys Targaryen.</p>

<p>In the episode, <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/game-of-thrones-season-8-episode-5-review-looks-like-no-one-will-end-up-on-the-iron-throne-218305">Daenerys destroyed King`s Landing, </a>killing innocents while on the top of her dragon, Drogon.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Many fans were unhappy with the character`s actions since she was always an advocate for saving the innocent and ending slavery.</p>

<p>"The way she has treated humans, and the conviction she has, means that conviction is eventually going to fall afoul," Sapochnik told IndieWire in an interview.</p>

<p>At the start of the episode, Clarke`s character was dealing with the death of her trusted adviser and friend Missandei (Nathalie Emmanuel).</p>

<p>Sapochnik stated that he wanted to make sure that she was no longer doubting her decision-making ability."She`s not questioning herself anymore, which is the difference between somebody who, I think, has kind of lost their mind," Sapochnik said.</p>

<p>"That`s part of what makes us human, is we question whether we`ve made the right decisions or not," he added.</p>

<p>Once she decided to destroy everything, Sapochnik shared that they made it a point not to show the character again.</p>

<p>"At that point, you don`t need to see her. We decided not to cut back to her. When she makes that decision, she and the dragon become one," the director said speaking of the scenes of destruction.</p>

<p>The director also said that the filming of the massive destruction of King's Landing was done keeping the audience in mind. He stated that he wanted the viewers to be a part of it, and that's why one hardly ever sees Daenerys face while she is atop the dragon as he rains fire on the city. The director wanted his camera and the audience on the ground with the people during the destruction of King's Landing.</p>

<p>"The destruction of King's Landing, for me, has always been an audience participation event. You wanted this, you wanted this, you wanted this. Here. Is that really what you wanted? I felt like there was this thing of this bloodthirstiness that exists in the fans, for revenge, for this payback that is personified by Dany... Because even though the characters that don't exist in the end, what you're looking for, as an audience member, is death and destruction," Sapochnik said.</p>

<p>In a behind-the-scenes video, Clarke said that it was always about her character being alone."Every single thing that`s led her to this point, and there she is, alone. We`ve all got this part of us, that part that goes, `I`m gonna put that chocolate cake down.` `And I`m going to walk away.` We can`t be getting into these moral conundrums all the time. I`m not saying chocolate cake is a moral conundrum--eat as much f--king cake as you want--but those things that you wrestle within yourself," Clarke explained.</p>

<p>'Game of Thrones' co-creators David Benioff and DB Weiss said that Daenerys had been tested countless times."And if circumstances had been different, I don`t think this side of Dany ever would`ve come out. If Cersei hadn`t betrayed her, if Cersei hadn`t executed Missandei, if Jon hadn`t told her the truth," Benioff said."Like, if all of these things had happened in any different way, then I don`t think we`d be seeing this side of Daenerys Targaryen," he added.</p>

<p>Weiss shared that looking at the Red Keep was also triggering."It`s in that moment, on the walls of King`s Landing, where she`s looking at that symbol of everything that was taken from her when she makes the decision to make this personal. We wanted her to be just death from above as seen from the perspective of the people who are on the business end of that dragon," he said. After a remarkable 8-year-long journey, the final season of the show concluded with its last episode aired on May 19.&nbsp;</p>

We`ve all got this part of us, that part that goes, `I`m gonna put that chocolate cake down.` `And I`m going to walk away.` We can`t be getting into these moral conundrums all the time. I`m not saying chocolate cake is a moral conundrum--eat as much f--king cake as you want--but those things that you wrestle within yourself," Clarke explained. 'Game of Thrones' co-creators David Benioff and DB Weiss said that Daenerys had been tested countless times."And if circumstances had been different, I don`t think this side of Dany ever would`ve come out. If Cersei hadn`t betrayed her, if Cersei hadn`t executed Missandei, if Jon hadn`t told her the truth," Benioff said."Like, if all of these things had happened in any different way, then I don`t think we`d be seeing this side of Daenerys Targaryen," he added. Weiss shared that looking at the Red Keep was also triggering."It`s in that moment, on the walls of King`s Landing, where she`s looking at that symbol of everything that was taken from her when she makes the decision to make this personal. We wanted her to be just death from above as seen from the perspective of the people who are on the business end of that dragon," he said. After a remarkable 8-year-long journey, the final season of the show concluded with its last episode aired on May 19.

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau aka Jamie Lannister of 'GOT' to star in 'Gone Hollywood'

<p>Fans across the world expressed disappointment with the way 'Game Of Thrones' ended. Most felt that several questions, plotlines remained unexplained as Bran Stark took over the Iron Throne.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Perhaps one of the most disappointing tracks was of Cersei Lannister. She was intrumental for many of the deaths all through the series and all her ending, many felt, was abrupt. Now, Lena Headey who played the epic character on screen has revealed how a deleted scene could have changed the plot to an extent and also answered a few questions about Cersei.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Headey appeared at a comic book convention in Munich, Germany, where she revealed a key scene that was totally scrapped in the seventh season of 'GOT'.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The scene, if it was retained, would have given fans a clue to many of Cersei`s decisions in the final season.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The actor stated that the scene from season seven had Cersei `lose the baby` and added that it was disturbing yet a magnificent moment for her character. She also noted that the specific scene was something she would have loved to portray on screen.</p>

<p>Headey said the scene, which was from season seven, showed Cersei "lose the baby." She described it was "traumatic" and a "great moment for Cersei."</p>

<p>"I kind of loved doing that because I thought it would`ve served her differently," Headey added.</p>

<p>Headey said that her character was pregnant with her brother Jaime`s (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) child in season seven. During season eight, Cersei and other characters kept referencing the baby. Later on, Cersei led Euron Greyjoy (Pilou Asbaek ) into believing that he was the father of her child. But in an unexpected twist, she was not shown pregnant. The storyline would have changed in a way after this twist.</p>

<p>Headey also recently spoke out about Cersei`s fate in the end. In an interview with the Guardian, Headey said that she had her own gripes about the way things happened but was waiting to talk to show`s co-creators David Benioff and Dan Weiss about it first.</p>

<p>Headey went on to say that <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/game-of-thrones-season-8-episode-5-review-looks-like-no-one-will-end-up-on-the-iron-throne-218305">she wanted a better ending for her character,</a> who died under a pile of rocks with Jaime.<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/game-of-thrones-lena-headey-feels-her-character-cersei-lannister-deserved-a-better-death-228054">"I will say I wanted a better death,"</a> Headey told The Guardian.</p>

<p>"Obviously you dream of your death. You could go in any way on that show. So I was kind of gutted. But I just think they couldn`t have pleased everyone. No matter what they did, I think there was going to be some big comedown from the climb," she added.</p>

<p>However, if others had their way, the final season of 'Game of Thrones' would have been very different.</p>

<p>In an interview with IndieWire, director Miguel Sapochnik said he wanted the Battle of Winterfell to play out differently in season eight`s episode `The Long Night`."I wanted to kill everyone. I wanted to kill Jorah in the horse charge at the beginning. I was up for killing absolutely everyone. I wanted it to be ruthless, so that in the first 10 minutes, you say, `all bets are off, anyone could die.` And David (Benioff) and Dan (DB Weiss) didn`t want to. There was a lot of back-and-forth on that," he said.</p>

Game of Thrones: Lena Headey reveals a deleted scene could have changed Cersei Lannister's track in the final season

<p>Winter isn`t over yet! Fans of the popular HBO series `Game of Thrones` have a reason to rejoice as the prequel of the show is officially underway.<br />
<br />
While the famous show is over, HBO has multiple prequel projects in the works that are scheduled to debut sometime in the future.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Filming for the highly-anticipated spinoff series kicked off in Northern Ireland last week, reported Belfast Telegraph, as cited by People.<br />
<br />
The outlet stated that the shooting was taking place in a "remote secret location in Co Down and on the north coast last week," and that the Titanic Studios in Belfast was preparing for filming.<br />
<br />
The shooting location is a familiar one. It earlier served as the production hub for `GoT` during its entire run. It`s not clear yet if the prequel will also be shot in other countries, reported Entertainment Weekly.<br />
<br />
The series, from author George R.R. Martin and screenwriter Jane Goldman, will take place thousands of years before the events in `GoT` and "chronicles the world`s descent from the Golden Age of Heroes into its darkest hour," according to HBO`s official description.<br />
<br />
"From the horrifying secrets of Westeros`s history to the true origin of the White Walkers, the mysteries of the East to the Starks of legend, only one thing is for sure: It`s not the story we think we know," the official description read.<br />
<br />
Martin previously told Entertainment Weekly that "Westeros is a very different place" in the upcoming prequel, compared to the Westeros fans are familiar with in `GoT`. "There`s no King`s Landing. There`s no Iron Throne. There are no Targaryens-- Valyria has hardly begun to rise yet with its dragons and the great empire that it built. We`re dealing with a different and older world and hopefully that will be part of the fun of the series," he said.<br />
<br />
While HBO is yet to reveal an official title for the upcoming series, the 70-year-old author said that last year that it will be called `The Long Night`.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/naomi-watts-is-very-excited-to-star-in-game-of-thrones-prequel-193356">The show boasts an ensemble cast led by Naomi Watts</a> along with Naomi Ackie, Denise Gough, <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/harry-potter-star-miranda-richardson-roped-in-for-game-of-thrones-prequel-204283">Miranda Richardson</a>, Josh Whitehouse, Jamie Campbell Bower, Sheila Atim, Ivanno Jeremiah, Alex Sharp, and Toby Regbo.<br />
<br />
The pilot will be directed by SJ Clarkson, who will also serve as the executive producer along with James Farrell, Jim Danger Gray, Vince Gerardis, Daniel Zelman and co-executive producer Chris Symes. &nbsp;Martin and Goldman will also executive produce, with Goldman serving as showrunner.&nbsp;</p>

HBO pitches 'Game of Thrones' finale Iron Throne for Emmys, fans aren't thrilled

<p>Richard Madden says he does not want to confine himself to the "good guy" image.</p>

<p>The actor, who shot to international fame as the fair and agreeable Rob Stark on 'Game of Thrones', said from theatre to television, he has often played one-tone characters.</p>

<p>Madden further cemented his position in showbiz with BBC series 'Bodyguard', in which he plays morally torn David Budd in the eponymous role.</p>

<p>"I'd like to explore things that are a bit not Romeo. I've spent 10 years playing different versions of Romeo, from Robb Stark to literally playing Romeo twice on stage, once when I was 21, once when I was 30.</p>

<p>"I've played a lot of these good guys that bad things happen to, and 'Bodyguard' was my first real experience of this moral space that isn't so clean-cut as good guys and bad guys. I want to delve into that," he said while speaking to Amy Adams on Variety's 'Actors on Actors'.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Series creator Jed Mercurio on Monday said he is in talks with the network for the second season of 'Bodyguard'.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Madden was recently roped in for Sam Mendes-directed World War I drama, '1917'.</p>

<p>Sophie Turner seems to know who could possibly be responsible for the <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/game-of-thrones-8-episode-4-makers-forget-to-edit-out-starbucks-coffee-cup-from-celebration-scene-twitter-has-the-last-laugh-216425">coffee cup glitch that happened in one of the episodes of 'Game Of Thrones 8'. </a>While HBO later digitally removed the cup, the question remains - who was responsible for it?&nbsp;</p>

<p>Turner feels it was Kit Harrington. During her latest appearance on `Conan`, Sophie Turner, who played Sansa Stark in the insanely popular HBO series, defended herself against the people who think it was she who left the cup on the table.</p>

<p>Stating that she has been hearing about the cup every day since the episode was aired, she finally put the blame on Kit Harington."The coffee cup was where Kit (Harington)`s chair was," she told host Conan O`Brien. Earlier, during an episode of `The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon`, Turner blamed fellow star Emilia Clarke for the mess.</p>

<p>However, after careful observation, the `X-Men` actor changed her mind. "First I blamed it on Emilia (Clarke), but I don`t think Emilia would do that," she said. Asserting that Kit is lazy, she said, "Kit is lazy and I think he would have done that. It was in front of Kit`s chair and then obviously he moved and this picture was taken and it looked like it was in my seat, but I wasn`t there either. It was Kit. It was a hundred percent Kit."</p>

<p>The makers received major flak when a Starbucks cup made a special appearance in Winterfell in episode 4 of the last season titled `The Last of the Starks` and it instantly became the talk of the town.</p>

<p>While some angry fans slammed the makers for their carelessness, others, including many celebrities flooded social media with jokes and memes.&nbsp;</p>

Kit Harington is 'proud' of checking into rehab, friends say he needs 'peace and quiet'

<p>'Game of Thrones' actor Kit Harington is undergoing treatment after the end of the HBO television series in which he starred as the heartthrob Jon Snow, his representative said on Tuesday.<br />
<br />
"Kit has decided to utilize this break in his schedule as an opportunity to spend some time at a wellness retreat to work on some personal issues," a representative for the British actor said in a statement.<br />
<br />
Harington, 32, went from virtual unknown to world stardom in 'Game of Thrones,' in which he played the role of the courageous Snow, whose actions in the final episode were one of the show`s biggest shockers.<br />
<br />
The statement did not give details of his issues, but The New York Post`s 'Page Six' column said Harington was hard hit by the ending of the show and was being treated for stress, exhaustion and alcohol use.<br />
<br />
Page Six added that he checked into a clinic in the United States help several weeks before the medieval fantasy series came to an end on May 19. The finale attracted a record 19.3 million viewers in the United States alone.<br />
<br />
Harington, who married his 'Game of Thrones' co-star Rose Leslie in 2018, told Variety earlier this year that he had previously found it hard to deal with the fame and attention the show brought, calling it "terrifying."</p>

<p>"I felt I had to feel that I was the most fortunate person in the world, when actually, I felt very vulnerable. I had a shaky time in my life around there - like I think a lot of people do in their 20s," he told Variety in an interview published in March.</p>

'Game of Thrones' star Kit Harington getting treatment

<p>‘Avengers’ and ‘Game of Thrones’ are two things we will surely miss as the two franchise wrapped this year, giving us a closure that we didn’t need?&nbsp;</p>

<p>After ‘GoT’ wrapped last Monday, the stars have now gotten talking about what they did all these years as they filmed for the epic show.&nbsp;Emilia Clarke who played the dragon queen revealed that she was offered Dakota Johnson’s role in ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ but she gave it a pass because of the sex&nbsp;scenes as she thought that those scenes would become that only thing that’s talked about.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In another interesting revelation, we now know that the actress could also have been a part of the Avengers universe. She was close to being cast in ‘Iron Man 3’ with Tony Stark and we could have had memes of her doing a double date with the Starks of Winterfell (GoT) and Tony Stark. <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/game-of-thrones-writer-a-dead-character-was-supposed-to-live-221237">Also read:&nbsp;'Game of Thrones' writer: A dead character was supposed to live</a>.&nbsp;The series finale drew <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/game-of-thrones-series-finale-draws-record-193-million-us-viewers-220300">record 19.3 million US viewers.&nbsp;</a></p>

<p>‘Iron Man 3’ writer Drew Pearce took to Instagram and shared a picture of the reading table. The picture shared featured Drew's name with his character name. In the caption, he revealed that ‘GoT’ Emilia was also part of the movie. However, destiny had other plans for her. He wrote, "My finest hour: at an early Iron Man Three table read. Downey, Cheadle, Emilia Clarke (long story, the script changed)... all vaguely terrifying. Obviously, this was in 2012 when everyone was more racist and thought all British people sounded the same.

Jason Momoa shares a throwback picture from sets of 'Game of Thrones'

<p>Even though ‘Game of Thrones’ wrapped last Monday, the show has been in the news as fans signed a petition asking for a remake of season 8 of the hit show. Fans expressed their disappointment at the show’s final season as many thought that the makers rushed through the season without offering explanations for many plot twists.</p>

<p>The petition didn’t go down well with the writers and makers of the show along with some members of the cast who pointed out that a lot of effort went into making it. Kit Harington, Sophie Turner was among the first few to trash the idea.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Now, Emilia Clarke who played the dragon queen on the show has opened up on the petition as she reveals that if it’s ever happening, she would be ready to shoot again. &nbsp;She said, "Oh, my goodness. Well, I can only speak to my own character and the people that I interact with on the show. But I would’ve loved some more scenes with me and Missandei. I would’ve loved some more scenes with me and Cersei," she said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>She went on to add, "Yeah. I would’ve loved some more scenes between Grey Worm and Missandei. I would’ve loved to see a bit more between Cersei… I feel like there was… The genocide was there. That was always going to happen. And I just think more dissection and those beautifully written scenes that the boys have between characters—that we are more than happy to contently sit there and watch ten minutes of two people talking because it’s beautiful. I just wanted to see a bit more of that. But I’m in no position to critique the geniuses that have written eight seasons’ worth of wonderful stuff."</p>

'Game of Thrones' season 8 petition: Emilia Clarke reveals she's open to shoot remake

<p>Didi you know that Emilia Clarke was offered to play Anastasia Steele in the 2015 film `Fifty Shades of Grey`? Clarke recently revealed that she rejected the film because of her role as Daenerys Targaryen in the insanely popular HBO show `Game of Thrones`.<br />
<br />
Clarke is no stranger to on-screen nudity because of her role in the hit show, which played a key factor in her decision to not take up the film as she didn`t want to get "pigeonholed" for nude scenes.<br />
<br />
In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the 32-year-old actor opened up about her decision to not play Steele in the `Fifty Shades` franchise because of the reaction she received for her nude scenes on `GoT`.<br />
<br />
She explained that although she loved director Sam Taylor-Johnson`s "beautiful" vision for the romantic drama, which is an adaptation of author E.L. James` novel of the same name, she eventually opted to not do the movie.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The film`s story revolves around a college senior who gets into a BDSM relationship with a billionaire. Actor Dakota Johnson ultimately ended up doing the role."The last time that I was naked on camera on [Game of Thrones] was a long time ago, and yet it is the only question that I ever get asked because I am a woman," she said.<br />
<br />
She went on to state that she was "sick and tired" of constantly being asked about her nude scenes."And it`s annoying as hell and I`m sick and tired of it because I did it for the character. I didn`t do it so some guy could check out my t--s, for God`s sake," Clarke added.She continued, "I did a minimal amount and I`m pigeonholed for life, so me saying yes to [Fifty Shades], where the entire thing is about sensuality and sex and being naked and all of that stuff, I was just like, `No way am I going to voluntarily walk into that situation and then never be able to look someone in the eye and be like, `No, you can`t keep asking me this question`."<br />
<br />
As Daenerys, Clarke appeared nude on screen for a few scenes throughout the HBO show, which aired its final episode on Monday.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The most notable was a scene in season 6 when she escaped her Dothraki captors surrounded by flames, sans clothes.The `Me Before You` actor told Entertainment Weekly at that time that she was proud of her decision to do the scene.<br />
<br />
"I`d like to remind people the last time I took my clothes off was season 3. That was a while ago. It`s now season 6. But this is all me, all proud, all strong. I`m just feeling genuinely happy I said `Yes.` That ain`t no body double," she said.<br />
<br />
The actor will be next seen in the romantic comedy `Last Christmas`, which releases in November this year.&nbsp;</p>

She went on to state that she was "sick and tired" of constantly being asked about her nude scenes."And it`s annoying as hell and I`m sick and tired of it because I did it for the character. I didn`t do it so some guy could check out my t--s, for God`s sake," Clarke added.She continued, "I did a minimal amount and I`m pigeonholed for life, so me saying yes to [Fifty Shades], where the entire thing is about sensuality and sex and being naked and all of that stuff, I was just like, `No way am I going to voluntarily walk into that situation and then never be able to look someone in the eye and be like, `No, you can`t keep asking me this question`." As Daenerys, Clarke appeared nude on screen for a few scenes throughout the HBO show, which aired its final episode on Monday. The most notable was a scene in season 6 when she escaped her Dothraki captors surrounded by flames, sans clothes.The `Me Before You` actor told Entertainment Weekly at that time that she was proud of her decision to do the scene. "I`d like to remind people the last time I took my clothes off was season 3. That was a while ago. It`s now season 6. But this is all me, all proud, all strong. I`m just feeling genuinely happy I said `Yes.` That ain`t no body double," she said. The actor will be next seen in the romantic comedy `Last Christmas`, which releases in November this year.

'Game of Thrones' writer: A dead character was supposed to live

<p>For those who were hoping that HBO would redeem itself by making a sequel to the 'Game Of Thrones' series, there is bad news. If the series finale, which aired on Monday, left you unsatisfied or you are still in denial that the show has finally ended, don`t wait for a sequel or spinoff, because it is not on the cards.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/game-of-thrones-finale-episode-review-time-to-bid-goodbye-to-last-dragon-iron-throne-and-our-favourite-show-220063">Read the review of the final episode here.&nbsp;</a><br />
<br />
HBO programming president Casey Bloys in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter ruled out any possibility of a sequel.<br />
<br />
The insanely popular TV series, based on the books of George RR&nbsp;Martin, which were adapted by David Benioff and DB Weiss, ended two days back with a shortened season, leaving fans wanting for more and somewhat disapoointed.&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/from-little-bird-to-queen-what-this-game-of-thrones-characters-finale-dress-means-220396">From Little Bird to Queen: This is what Sansa Stark's&nbsp;finale dress means</a><br />
<br />
On being asked if there could be a sequel featuring Arya Stark (played by Maisie Williams) as she ventures west of Westeros, Bloys said "Nope, nope, nope. No.I do want this show, this Game of Thrones, Dan and David`s show, to be its own thing. I don`t want to take characters from this world that they did beautifully and put them off into another world with someone else creating it. I want to let it be the artistic piece they`ve got," he added.<br />
<br />
Ruling out the possibility completely, he said, "That`s one of the reasons why I`m not trying to do the same show over."Bloys said that the world that Martin has created is "massive," so HBO wants to keep trying out new things instead of bringing back familiar characters and settings."George has a massive, massive world; there are so many ways in. That`s why we`re trying to do things that feel distinct -- and to not try and redo the same show. That`s probably one of the reasons why, right now, a sequel or picking up any of the other characters doesn`t make sense for us," he said.<br />
<br />
However, just because a sequel isn`t going to happen, doesn`t mean there won`t be more of `Game of Thrones` content. Bloys stated that there are three prequel projects in the works currently. Two are in development and the pilot for the third will be shot in June."I am not clarifying anything other than yes, we shoot the first pilot in June. There are two more in development and beyond that, there`s nothing else to report," he said.<br />
<br />
On being asked if both of those scripts work well and the pilot does, too, will the fans get three more `GoT` shows, Bloys remained tight-lipped about the upcoming projects.Teasing the idea, Bloys said, "All theoretical and all high-class problems! Who knows?! I`m not ruling it in, and I`m not ruling it out! I`m trying my best not to give you definitive answers to fuel speculation."<br />

'Game of Thrones' will not have sequel series or spinoff, confirms HBO president

<p>Actor Isaac Hempstead Wright who played Bran Stark in the hugely popular series 'Game Of Thrones' had initially thought the season 8 script was a &nbsp;prank the writers had played on him.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Wright's character Bran ultimately got the Iron throne, much to everyone's surprise and disappointment. Bran, a three-eyed raven, may have seen the future and predicted his claim to the throne, but the actor stated that he was given a 'joke script'.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/game-of-thrones-finale-episode-review-time-to-bid-goodbye-to-last-dragon-iron-throne-and-our-favourite-show-220063">Read the review of the final episode here.&nbsp;</a></p>

<p>While speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Wright said, "When I got to the [Dragonpit scene] in the last episode, and they’re like, ‘What about Bran?’ I had to get up and pace around the room,” he said. “I genuinely thought it was a joke script and that [showrunners] David and Dan sent to everyone a script where their own character ends up on the Iron Throne. I was like, ‘Yeah, good one guys. Oh shit! It’s actually real?!’”</p>

<p>Wright assumption wouldn't be all wrong considering the show's creators David Benioff and Dan Weiss had earlier sent the cast hoax scripts. In Season 1 Kit Harrington had received a script which stated that his character Jon Snow's face would get disfigured.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In fact, Maisie Williams, who played Arya Stark, had initially thought her love scene was a prank that the creators were playing on her.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Commenting on the backlash that the series has been receiving, Wright said, "It’s difficult to finish a series as popular as this without pissing some people off.

It’s a fitting conclusion to this epic saga.”</p>

'Game of Thrones' series finale draws record 19.3 million US viewers

<p>Harington said show critics "can go f**k themselves" because those on the show alone know the amount of hard work that went into making the series a mega hit. &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>"How I feel about the show right now is quite defiant. I think no matter what anyone thinks about this season - and I don't mean to sound mean about critics here but whatever critic spends half an hour writing about this season and makes their (negative) judgement on it, in my head they can go f**k themselves," Harington told a magazine during an interview.</p>

<p>The actor, who joined the series in his early 20s, said he has seen people spend sleepless nights on the show.</p>

<p>"Now if people feel let down by it, I don't give a f**k because everyone tried their hardest. That's how I feel. In the end, no one's bigger fans of the show than we are, and we're kind of doing it for ourselves. That's all we could do, really. And I was just happy we got to the end," he said.</p>

<p>"The thing about 'Game of Thrones' that's always been amazing is the fact that there's always been crazy twists and turns, right from season 1 with Ned's beheading. So Daenerys becoming something of the Mad Queen it shouldn't be such a negative thing for fans. It's a shock for sure, but I think it's just because it hasn't gone their way," she told The New York Times.<br />
<br />
Turner believes it is not right to dismiss the contribution of the cast and crew and demand a redo of the final season via an online petition.</p>

<p>"All of these petitions and things like that, I think it's disrespectful to the crew, and the writers, and the filmmakers who have worked tirelessly over 10 years, and for 11 months shooting the last season. Like 50-something night shoots. So many people worked so, so hard on it, and for people to just rubbish it because it's not what they want to see is just disrespectful," she said.&nbsp;<br />

Game of Thrones: Kit Harrington, Sophie Turner defend writers amid criticism

This episode is already proving to be as divisive as the other five episodes have been in the eighth and final season. “Thrones” enthusiasts have been voicing their displeasure at the direction of the season from the get-go, a criticism that has mounted since series creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss moved beyond the material from George R.R. Martin’s book series “A Song of Ice and Fire.”

Emilia Clarke, who plays Daenerys Targaryen, shared a series of pictures along with an emotional note, closing the door on this formative experience in her career. "Finding the words to write this post has left me overwhelmed with how much I want to say but how small words feel in comparison to what this show and Dany have meant to me," she began the post. "The mother of dragons chapter has taken up the whole of my adult life. This woman has taken up the whole of my heart. I've sweated in the blaze of dragon fire, shed many tears at those who left our family early, and wrung my brain dry trying to do Khaleesi and the masterful words, actions (and names) I was given, justice," she added. Clarke also remembered her late father and thanked her fans for their love and support. "Game of Thrones has shaped me as a woman, as an actor and as a human being. I just wish my darling dad was here now to see how far we`ve flown. But to you, dear kind magical fans, I owe you so much thanks, for your steady gaze at what we`ve made and what I`ve done with a character that was already in the hearts of many before I slipped on the platinum wig of dreams. Without you there is no us. And now our watch has ended," she concluded.

'Game Of Thrones' comes to an end; Emilia Clarke, Sophie Turner & others share heartfelt farewell posts

<p>The final season of 'Game Of Thrones' has been courting controversies right from the beginning. Most fans have not been happy with the way the story panned out in the final season of the popular series and <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/disappointed-with-season-8-game-of-thrones-fans-sign-a-petition-demanding-remake-219182">many even demanded a re-shoot of the final episode</a>. There have also been bloopers in the show that have not gone unnoticed by the fans. <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/game-of-thrones-finale-episode-review-time-to-bid-goodbye-to-last-dragon-iron-throne-and-our-favourite-show-220063">Read who finally gets to sit on the iron throne here.&nbsp;</a></p>

The final season of 'Game Of Thrones' has been courting controversies right from the beginning. Most fans have not been happy with the way the story panned out in the final season of the popular series and many even demanded a re-shoot of the final episode. There have also been bloopers in the show that have not gone unnoticed by the fans. Read who finally gets to sit on the iron throne here. In the fourth episode, a coffee cup made its appearance at Westeros for which HBO issued an apology. Then, in the fifth episode, Jamie's actual hand featured in a promo still which the makers said was not part of the show. Now, in the sixth and final episode, plastic water bottles can be seen in the scene where Tyrion decides who should be the next king. One was spotted near Samwell Tarly's chair and other near Ser Davos. Needless to say, Twitter had a field day pointing out the blooper.

Game Of Thrones: After the coffee cup, water bottles make appearances in the finale

<p>After eight epic years of chivalry, sex, death and dragons, "<a href="https://www.wionews.com/search?q=game+of+thrones">Game&nbsp;of&nbsp;Thrones</a>" fans worldwide have just a few minutes remaining&nbsp;to get their final fix in one of the most <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/entertainment-game-of-thrones-finale-is-unbelievable-reveals-former-cast-member-jason-momoa-25567">hotly anticipated events in TV history</a>.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The blood-spattered tale of noble families vying for the Iron Throne has just one episode to go and buzz is at a fever pitch for a ratings juggernaut that has demolished audience records like a Dothraki barbarian finishing off a skillet of horse meat.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"We want people to love it. It matters a lot&nbsp;to us. We've spent 11 years doing this,"&nbsp;Dan Weiss, who directed the 73rd and final episode with fellow showrunner David Benioff, told&nbsp;Entertainment Weekly.&nbsp;</p>

<p>While many will watch at home, perhaps with a goblet of Dornish red wine and a punnet of Braavosi cockles,&nbsp;thousands&nbsp;will celebrate and mourn the show's denouement at viewing parties in bars, banqueting halls and backyards from Alaska to Armenia.&nbsp;</p>

<p>One of the darkest and most controversial primetime series ever made, "GoT" has been the target of criticism over the years for senseless violence and its repeated use of rape as a dramatic device.</p>

<p><strong>Hacked, burned, flayed</strong></p>

<p>The scriptwriters have brutalised women, killed children, depicted graphic sex and had&nbsp;their characters hacked, stabbed, flayed, poisoned, decapitated, burned alive, eye-gouged and eviscerated -- all in glorious close-up.</p>

<p>Even principal character Jon Snow (Kit Harington), whose fellow Night's Watch troops would chant "And now his watch is ended" at comrades' funerals,&nbsp;suffered the indignity of being briefly dead after a particularly violent quarrel.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The adult themes have not deterred fans, however, nor the industry itself, which has seen fit to make it the most decorated series in history, with 47 Emmy Awards.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Airing in 170 countries under its portentous tagline, "Winter is Coming," the show is also the most expensive ever, with a budget of $15 million per episode in its final run.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The season seven finale set an all-time US record for premium cable TV with 16.5 million people watching live or streaming on the day of transmission and 15 million more tuning in later.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/game-of-thrones-season-8-is-the-lowest-rated-season-of-the-popular-series-218244">Viewing records also tumbled across the world</a>, with Britain's Sky Atlantic and OCS in France showing episodes in the middle of the night in sync with their US premieres.</p>

<p>Season six was the first to move beyond the source material, George RR&nbsp;Martin's&nbsp;"A Song of Ice and Fire"&nbsp;novels, and carve its own path.</p>

<p>Critics said it marked a return to form, with the narrative allowing female characters to demonstrate the complexity and moral agency lacking in some of the earlier seasons.</p>

<p>The shortened final two seasons have been more of a mixed bag, with many fans furious over what they consider poor writing.</p>

<p><strong>Mass-murdering madness</strong></p>

<p>Most controversial has been the rapid descent into mass-murdering madness by Emilia Clarke's fan favorite Daenerys Targaryen, arguably the lead character in an enormous ensemble that has called on the services of such luminaries as Charles Dance, Sean Bean, Jim Broadbent and Diana Rigg.</p>

<p>A Change.org petition called "Remake&nbsp;Game&nbsp;of&nbsp;Thrones&nbsp;Season 8 with competent writers" had passed one million signatures with more than 24 hours to go until Sunday's finale.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Assuming there is no do-over, the biggest mystery of all remains who will be sitting on the Iron Throne and ruling Westeros when "Game&nbsp;of&nbsp;Thrones" comes to an end.</p>

<p>To throw hackers and pirates off the scent, Benioff and Weiss shot several versions of the final episode, a tactic already used for "The Sopranos" and "Breaking Bad."</p>

<p>Sophie Turner, who plays Sansa Stark, has admitted that even she was fooled into believing a fake version of the ending.</p>

<p>Martin will himself discover the on-screen ending of his long-running masterwork before he has had a chance to conclude the fantasy on paper.</p>

<p>The plot lines for his long-awaited final two novels in the series &nbsp;-- "The Winds of Winter" and "A Dream of Spring" -- were adapted to the screen based on outlines Martin gave the show's writers. But there is no guarantee they will stick to his plan.</p>

<p>"Obviously, I wished I finished these books sooner so the show hadn't gotten ahead of me. I never anticipated that," Martin once told an interviewer.</p>

'Now our watch is ended': History-making 'Game of Thrones' wraps

<p>Passions are running high as 'Game of Thrones'&nbsp;nears its final episode this weekend, with hundreds of thousands of unhappy fans signing an online petition and a counselling service offering to help those grieving the end of the TV fantasy saga.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/game-of-thrones-season-8-finale-teaser-a-grey-and-gloomy-kings-landing-and-its-people-218784">Watch the trailer of final episode of 'GoT' here.&nbsp;</a></p>

<p>Some 600,000 fans worldwide had signed a Change.org petition by Thursday <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/disappointed-with-season-8-game-of-thrones-fans-sign-a-petition-demanding-remake-219182">criticising season 8 of the HBO series and calling for a remake.</a></p>

<p>"This series deserves a final season that makes sense," said Dylan D, from Texas, who launched the "Remake Game of Thrones Season 8" petition ahead of Sunday's series finale.</p>

<p>The story of warring families in the fictional kingdom of Westeros has drawn to a close with ever more bloody battles and favourite characters being killed off.</p>

<p>"Season 8 was very disjointed and rushed. Characters were hastily written off and plots became twisted. It was not a good close to a great series!!!," wrote Marilyn Marnell, one of those signing the petition.&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/game-of-thrones-season-8-episode-5-review-looks-like-no-one-will-end-up-on-the-iron-throne-218305">Read the review of episode 5 here.&nbsp;</a></p>

<p>HBO did not return a request for comment on the petition.</p>

<p>The show was created by David Benioff and DB&nbsp;Weiss, who have taken the story beyond George R.R. Martin's source material book series, 'A Song of Ice and Fire.'</p>

<p>Despite the criticism, the eighth and final season of the Emmy-winning series has broken records for HBO, which says it has so far averaged 43 million viewers per episode in the United States alone - a 10 million increase over Season 7 in 2017.</p>

<p>Among television critics,<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/game-of-thrones-season-8-is-the-lowest-rated-season-of-the-popular-series-218244"> reviews </a>have gone from 92 percent positive for the Season 8 opener on April 14 to 47 percent favourable for the penultimate episode, "The Bells," which aired on May 12, according to review aggregator RottenTomatoes.com.</p>

<p>'The Bells'&nbsp;saw character Daenerys Targaryen descending into madness and destroying the Westerosi capital of Kings Landing with her dragon. Some fans thought that was too sharp a departure for Daenerys, who had previously said she wanted to create a better world.</p>

<p>"This is definitely not how it was supposed to go. Daenerys Targaryen has gone rogue," wrote CNN.com's AJ Willingham.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, British website Bark.com is launching a 'Game of Thrones'&nbsp;counselling service offering expert advice on how fans can deal with the loss of the show, which first aired in 2011.</p>

<p>"'Game of Thrones' is one of the most popular TV programs of our time, so I'm not surprised that people are devastated it's going to end," Kai Feller, co-founder of Bark.com, said in a statement.</p>
