Game of Thrones cast members spotted at Alcázar de Seville, and আরো 

season 5 continues in Seville, with the Spanish city set to host Dornish scenes beginning on October 10th.

have sourced a recent video of a scene rehearsal taking place at the Alcázar of Seville, which will serve as a filming location in the coming days. As the nature of the video is spoiler-ridden, it’s hidden below the cut.

In the video, we can see multiple actors, actresses and stuntmen rehearsing for a sparring/fight scene. Nikolaj Coster-Waldau can be seen towards the end, in a white shirt with his sword at his side.

The three Sand Snakes of season 5 may also be present. The woman with the spear may or may not be Keisha Castle-Hughes – the only indication that it

be her is the tweet below, suggesting that Obara takes after her father with the spear as her weapon of choice.

On my way to Dorne, @JHenwick have my spear sharpened please.

Tyene may also be present, as one of the women in the right background looks like Rosabell Laurenti Sellers, who already showed off a pair twin daggers in her casting announcement video. With this in mind, it wouldn’t be a stretch of the imagination to assume the third woman is Jessica Henwick, who graciously replied to Keisha’s tweet. We already know that Nymeria’s weapon of choice is the whip.

@kecahumo Done. Also managed to get those blood stains out. X — Jessica Henwick (@JHenwick) October 5, 2014

also confirms that Jerome Flynn has flown out to Seville for filming. Some fans managed to get pictures with him and Nikolaj earlier today.

The Andalusia Film Commission has arranged for a meeting to occur between David Benioff and Dan Weiss, and Spanish students and supporters of the show, during which the filming of the fifth season will be discussed. Although the exact location has not yet been divulged, the meeting will take place in Seville on Tuesday 14th October. As

notes, this kind of occurrence is unprecedented, and it promises to be a unique occasion.

, Dutch actor/fencing teacher Mishael Lopes Cardozo has provided more information on his role in season 5. He confirms that he will not put his swordfighting skills to use in the show, and that he will share a short scene with Tyrion and Varys in episode 503, directed by Mark Mylod.

H Stark linked two tweets in the other thread with pictures of Nikolaj and Jerome in Spain. You should add them to the post.

its gotta be Keisha, we wield spears with regularity down here in NZ

Meanwhile, WiC.net has just figured out that Bronn is going to be part of the Jaime/Dorne storyline. Lots of excited speculation in the article there (could Bronn be Arys Oakhart?????) which would be just slightly more informed if they knew what everyone here knew 3 months ago when they filmed all the Dorne scenes at Portstewart Strand.

I was a bit surprised to see so much contempt towards the Dornish storyline in the last news post. I’m really excited for it, though. Hoping for a bunch of other sneaky fans out there in Spain!

Agreed, if I can’t get Ben Kingsley, Alexander Siddig is the next best thing.

I may be one of the few deluded people still holding out for Euron/Griff’s as well though, but definitely looking forward to Dorne!

And I too hope we get lots of pics. Spaniards haven’t gotten a chance to pop their GoT Paparazzi cherry. Lets hope they do us proud (and spoilers abound)!!!

I loved Dorne in the books. I lost most of my book-reader excitement towards the storyline when they cut Arianne, but I’m excited to see what they do do with it. And Doran is still in, so there’s that.

Yeah, I was a bit skeptical after we found out Arianna is more than likely cut, but I still think the Dorne stuff will be great. It’s a whole new aspect of the show and it really seems they have a lot of faith in it, I don’t think they are going to screw it up.

I’m excited despite disliking Dorne material in the books. I was overwhelmed with new characters and couldn’t bring myself to care about Arianne. Plus there’s very little that she does that has a consequence on the plot.

But throwing Jaime and Bronn into Dorne really interests me, and honestly I’m intrigued by decision to focus on Oberyn’s bastard daughters rather than his niece and nephews, seems to me like that would better show the reaction to the trial by combat while also heavily featuring Dorne’s more progressive culture.

I agree. I think the fact that we really don’t know much about what’s going to happen is what has me interested the most. Yeah, if

Trystane ends up taking Quentyn’s role, then the progressive culture would definitely come into play since Obara would be next in line, right?

From my POV I’ll sum it up in three words: “New character fatigue”. It just seemed like we should care about this new bunch, why exactly? No doubt all will be revealed by GRRM in due course ( especially if the Q being was the huge waste of chapters that it seems). Hopefully with characters we already know well being involved it will give it more focus on the show and the element of intrigue and plotting can be bumped up without all the filler.

Not missing Arianne ( assuming she is actually left out and not just being kept secret) huge dark nipples notwithstanding.

That video is great. I wish they would, at some point, make a video of some of the weapons training the actors have had to undergo. It definitely looks as though the one woman (the one people are thinking may be Keisha) is practicing some of the same techniques Oberyn used. I’ve just started training with a similar weapon, it has no spear tip on the end, it’s just a regular bo-staff, but the techniques are not easy to master, nor even get to the point they look half-way decent. A little over a month ago, I somehow managed to get my angle wrong as I was switching directions, and I ended up with a nice little egg and bruise above my right eyebrow. I’m sure Keisha will end up with plenty of bruises (especially at first, I had a ton all over my legs where I kept clipping them with the staff), but I hope she is more fortunate (or coordinated) than I, and manages not to crack herself in the head.

I’m dreading the Dorne storyline because I feel like it’s going to be really cheesy and badly written. The sandsnakes are already pretty one-dimensional characters in the books, so a bigger emphasis on them in the TV show irritates me, especially because Arianne (who is a much more complex character than them) has been cut. I know I should wait and watch yada yada, but right now things don’t look very promising as they’re adding in scenes in which Tyene doesn’t let Bronn go until her calls her beautiful when she takes her top off. Plus the Myrcella/Trystane love story seems like it would be Robb/Talisa all over again and I just don’t care for it especially since the screentime can be used for more interesting complex material. Plus the Jaime rescuing Myrcella thing sounds so extremely dumb because obviously something is going to happen that will make Jaime not return with Myrcella.

Why in the seven bloody hells is Jaime fighting all three Sandsnakes? Why is he fighting

of them? I’m gonna withhold all judgement until I see the finished product, but this is starting to scare me. Also I couldn’t care less about the Sandsnakes — GIMME SOME DORAN LEAKS! He’s the only thing keeping my interest in Dorne alive.

I share your fears. If we lose Bronn and Jaime is further emasculated, I’m going to hate Dorne even more than I did in the books!

Agree. The only part of the this Dorne storyline that I care about is Doran. Please…some on set photos of Siddig or something.

For those of you who so dislike the Dorne story line, I’m just curious…

I ask because it seems like those who really liked Dorne didn’t care much for the Iron Islands, and those who really liked the Iron Islands didn’t care much for Dorne.

I like the Dorne storyline in the books because I adore Arianne, but I hated the Ironborn storyline. I’m glad that it seems like Victarion and Aeron have been 99% cut. I do kind of want Euron on the show, but I wouldn’t be too upset if he’s cut.

also about the Dorne storyline, can we please talk about how there is a high chance that Jaime is going to leave Myrcella in Dorne because she’s in looooooveeee with Trystane…I know Jaime isn’t the brightest tool in the box but that is beyond fucking stupid lol.

Video is awesome. Can’t wait to see these fights and crazy weapons. Nikolaj looks great, as always! I’m half-anxious half-curious (but 100% excited) to see how the Dorne thing turns out… personally sad about the loss of Arianne, bigtime.

Rather, IMO there are people who disliked Dorne, people who disliked the Iron Islands and people who disliked both, and that they comprise most if not all of those who hated AFFC (mostly with no objective reasons, only moved by personal tastes).

I personally liked pedo Doran and tranny Euron.

Shit I don’t know how to add spoiler code! Help!

An then you get people like me who loved both the Dorne And Iron Islands chapters, but couldn’t stand the Cersei chapters. Hoping that Jonathon Pryce will help me enjoy that storyline more.

YAY, Dorne! Awesome that we get vid already. Did we ever, as a scoop?! I don’t remember.

LOL I thought you fell asleep during AFfC and ADwD.

I’m skeptical about the Dorne storyline because of the god awful casting leak videos I saw. The Tyene casting video was pretty horrid. Also, the Trystane/Myrcella one was not much better. The Obara one was not bad however. I just feel like changes are coming to season 5 that are along the lines of the Missandei/Greyworm writing category which I’m not excited about. My hope is that the Acting of the sand snakes overcomes the writing cheesiness and that they turn out to be female versions of their father in terms of screen presense

On the whole, I enjoyed the Iron Islands storyline although it took me a little time to warm to Victarions POV although by the end I was enjoying them. I think the fact it was a familiar location and Asha (Yara) was there to guide you through it helped out a lot. Plus Euron added an interesting X factor whilst Victarion was the epitome of what Ironborn are about ( something I don’t think the show until this point has represented at all). The Dorne storyline was really hard going for me. Found it hard to care about the characters as there were so many and barely any of them actually did anything (to this day I don’t know nor care about the names of Ariannes co-conspirators). Areo was an awful POV as he had no personality at all and the plot had no strong links to any other storylines at all. I liked Doran as he seemed wise and measured and Arianne was alright as the headstrong heir. Everyone else did nothing for me. The reason Darkstar stands out in the fandom is he was the only one who at least did something memorable even if his mysterious villainy has turned into a bit of a joke.

The reason Ironborn fans are annoyed is probably because Dorne has made it in at the possible expense of the Iron Islands. There may also be the male versus female dynamic with Dorne being the home of Westerosi feminsim (people losing their shit over Sand Snakes, as far as I can see, for no other reason than because they’re females with weapons)and the Ironborn being a heavily masculine society. Find it a bit odd though seeing as Asha ( Yara) is a key part of the Iron Islands story and is a strong female character, who kicks arse but also has a storyline, character and a purpose! Not sure why there’s so much love for Sandsnakes but nowhere near enough for the female Greyjoy?

An then you get people like me who loved both the Dorne And Iron Islands chapters, but couldn’t stand the Cersei chapters. Hoping that Jonathon Pryce will help me enjoy that storyline more.
