Game of Thrones heading to Volantis, and আরো new season 5 spoilers! 

sources have come through and provided several new spoilers for us to mull over.

is currently seeking to fill a few minor roles this month for filming, and the casting breakdowns contain some intriguing information.

There are moderate spoilers in this post, so proceed with caution!

The show is looking to cast a Sellsword who is drinking in a busy Volantis brothel. He gives one worker a hard time about her price before taking it someplace more private. This actor is needed for filming in Croatia on September 12th, the period when Meereen-centered filming is expected in the Split area, with Unsullied extras lined up.

While the sellsword role is not significant, the confirmation that Volantis has not been cut entirely is notable, especially as a brothel near Volantis is where two major characters first meet in

There are two other connected roles looking to be filled- two masters who have unfortunate encounters with dragons, shooting around September 13th in Croatia.

The first master sought is a man in his 40′s-50′s,  and it’s noted he should have no facial hair, and should be either bald or have very short hair. He’s going to be eaten by a massive dragon in a major scene.

The second wealthy master is described as fatter, and privileged. He undergoes what our source refers to as “a major trauma involving dragons.”

I was right about to jump into another chapter of Malazan Book of the Fallen when I get this email, and what a gem this is, I wonder where this dragon/slave master scene happens; is it after

Rhaegal and Viserion get unleashed, or is Drogon roaming over Yunkai?

Wasn’t it in Selhorys actually? Shifting it to Volantis is a tiny change and a welcome one of course, but I think that was the case.

I dont think the Volantene sellsword means we’ll see Volantis.

I think the brothel scene will take place and it supposedly will be in Volantis but my guess is that it’s the only thing we’ll see of the city and the name “Volantis” will probably not be mentionned in the show

You’re right, it happens near it, but it still pretty much confirms that meeting and Volantis which is the point. Seriously, why on earth would they show a brothel in an entirely new city without a good reason to? (I did edit the post for accuracy.)

I’m so excited to know Volantis will be included. What a scoop!

OT – I was looking at the twitter feed (I’m not on twitter, so it took me a bit to piece things together, since I’m not entirely sure how it all works) and saw the business about someone asking where to go to get pictures, which then showed up on another site. I hated giving that site the hit, but went to see the pictures and whether any comment was made. The person who took the pictures is posting under “ozdrab.” From their comment, it seems they were either unaware of the exodus from that site, or were being exceptionally underhanded. I really, really hope it was the former!

Im excited they are going to Volantis. I didnt think the location would be included in the show but Im glad that meeting will be similar to how it is in the book.

Illyrio Mopatis’ actor coming back? Because Varys and Tyrion could be heading straight for Volantis since it’s looking awfully like Tyrion doesn’t actually have anyone to sail down the Rhoyne with

BTW are you going to post those Braavos set pics that the other site did?

You could add them onto this article as part of its “Essos roundup” feel.

I assumed they would avoid Volantis, as it is not strictly necessary: they could do the same thing in an isolated town, far away from civilization, instead of very near a big city. In fact, it’s the kind of thing Season 1 would have skipped (such as the many events that happened in grander places in the books), but I guess the budget now allows for this stuff. And that’s great! I wonder if we’ll see any of Talysa’s information about Volantene culture translated into these scenes (e.g. slaves with their job symbolized as a forehead tattoo.)

Oh grow up! This “that site” business is so juvenile. Don’t like ‘em? Don’t go there, and more specifically don’t write about how you didn’t want to go there but went there anyway. (do I have it right)

I will continue to happily visit both this site and “that site”.

Everyone, you still have to cover your spoilers in this comment thread. Thanks!

You can disagree with her without insulting her, please.

Cool info. Not that I ever believed Volantis was going to be cut. Just like I believe several characters people think have been cut… haven’t.

I don’t mean to be a nosy parker but is there any particular reason for that?

That was barely an insult. Granted, he could have left out the “grow up” bit. But still, it would be awesome if people stopped whining about the other site and move on.

Thanks, Lars, but I will write about whatever I please. If there is an issue with something I say, I’m sure a moderator will rectify it.

You continue to happily visit both sites, and I’ll choose to do as I wish.

In another subject related to the Free Cities : I really really really hope they use some post-prod effects on Braavos to make it look more chilly and northen-y than Croatia-in-summer…

Thanks, Lars, but I will write about whatever I please.

Certainly. At least I’m open about happily reading both sites, instead of writing a paragraph about how you don’t want to go there but do it anyway.

They will have some scoops, this site will have some scoops. I’m just happy to read scoops.

Cool info. Not that I ever believed Volantis was going to be cut. Just like I believe several characters people think have been cut… haven’t.

‘I’m still hoping as well’ wrote Veltigar, while he gently carressed his gun.

… Before he filled it with water to go out and play (really what were you all thinking) :p

If you feel the need to try and perpetuate the issue, that’s certainly your prerogative. However, this is the last I will respond to it. Have fun.

“major trauma involving dragons.” I have to say, I was hoping with the omission of Quentyn, someone would still get fried. Barbequed Master, anyone?

Elephants? Anyone? The Griffs? A man can continue to have hope.

Though I love the elephants in the books, I really hope they don’t include them. If they have to spend money on CGI animals, let it be direwolfs and dragons

Hmm I still don’t hold out much hope for two certain individuals entering the fold this season, but I can’t wait to see

Yes! And now we are going to finally have the return of Talisa since she obviously didn’t die with the sheeps bladder ploy and, since she is employed by Cersei, will show up in Volantis searching for news about the escape of the treacherous Tyrion.

So looks like the brothel scene is in. I had a feeling it would be in. It makes sense in their character development. I don’t think they stoop as low as in the books, though. And wait… If they meet in this place in the show (which now seems rather likely) doesn’t that really raise Young Griff’s chances? Otherwise, what would Tyrion be doing in Volantis? I doubt he’d be going there alone on his way to Dany, and I doubt Varys will join him. Interesting news.

As for the dragon victims, I think the scene in question is obvious and the second guy gets fried.

Honeypot Theory Part Deux: Another Taste of Honey?

It was. I personally never believed Sellhorys or any Rhoyne town will make it to the show, though. Just skip to Volantis and get it overwith.

Do you know what happens when you stab strawberry pie? It ain’t pretty but it sure as Hell doesn’t look like dead Stark babies.

Let’s settle on strawberry pie with a sheep bladder in it

Erm, isn’t that kinda racist Jenny?

Actually, it’s in Croatia. And the date fits perfectly into GOT’s shooting schedule inside the Meereen cellars/dungeons where the dragons are chained. So it seems that slave masters will be doing the job? Or maybe they’ll be tagging along with a couple of major characters?

I actually never knew what that word meant until now. You made me look it up. I never thought it’d be something racist, lol

Why are Maesters interested in dragons? I demand an investigation of The Citadel and the order of Maesters immediately !

Yeah, why not? I mean, they don’t exactly set the world on fire, but it

After a crappy day at work I needed something like this. Thanks Sue.

I can’t help but be disappointed that there’s still no word of casting for northerners though.

Anyway, I always figured they’d have Volantis in the show because they made Talisa from there.

And she obviously goes back there as a Lannister spy. Such a bitch she is.

I have high hopes for that encounter in Volantis.

GeekFurious, As Velti said, “I’m still hoping as well.” Gun not included.

I assumed Pit as well. I guess it could be the other, but…why?

I didn’t mean it to sound like I thought the Masters would try and release Viserion and Rhaegal, although rereading my post, it did sound that way.

So that’s two confirmed new brothels, Meereen and Volantis. Both are in book canon though. Well the former’s been moved from Selhorys but close enough. I hope we get slaves with tattooed faces btw a la Talisa’s monologue.

While we’re talking about Talisa, maybe she should get an offhand mention to remind folks that we’ve heard about Volantis before. A certain character could remark, “Ah, Volantine women. One cost my late brother-in-law his life.” Or something to that effect.

WOW, I can’t believe they are filming that stuff ALREADY!!! I thought it might wait until season 6…….

Sounds to me like a certain fighting pit is going to be Danyrys’s seasonal finale then. That was expected, but it’s so fun to get some spoilers on topic!! XD

The bigger surprise to me is Volantis!! With so much debate on which characters and arcs will make the season so much of Tyrion’s arc was in question. This news is a nice sign of things staying somewhat similar to the books… At least to a point . It is also the first sign (albeit quite inconclusive) that the Griffs may appear. If that does play out it will be huge news to everyone I think!

It would be fun if the sellsword noted above would have a shock of red hair and a shaggy beard! I have almost no expectations of Duck making the TV series… even less he would be in that scene… but how cool would that be?! XD

I’ll throw Matt Milne’s name out there for giggles! XD
