Another new Game of Thrones trailer aired

Fresh from giving fans a 15 minute long preview, HBO has released yet another trailer for the fourth season of Game of Thrones. The fourth season will be airing in the UK on April 7 on Sky Atlantic.

The fourth season is based off the second part of A Storm of Swords, book three from George RR Martin’s A Song of Fire and Ice series. With the ‘Purple Wedding’ promising to cause quite a few shocks for those yet to read the books and a whole lot of trouble for key characters, HBO have promised us that season four will have a lot more happening than the previous season.

The trailer promises us that vengeance is a key theme, as always, with Arya recounting a certain list and ending the trailer on the ominous words taught to her by a certain Faceless Man. In between we see glimpses of the Starks vowing revenge, Daenerys promising that she will rule (does this mean she gets on a boat soon?), Tyrion in peril and what looks to be a much more grown up dragon.

New characters will make their debuts, including Mace Tyrell (Roger Ashton-Griffiths), Prince Oberyn Martell AKA the Red Viper (Pedro Pascal) and his lover Ellaria Sand (Indira Varma). Mark Gatiss will also make an appearance as  Tycho Nestoris, a representative of Braavos’s Iron Bank.

 

Game of Thrones Seasons 4 new preview

WARNING: SEASON 3 SPOILERS AHEAD

With the fourth season of HBO’s Game of Thrones due to sucker punch its way back into our lives on April 7 (April 6 for US), a full 15 minute preview has been aired and comes complete with contributions from the major cast members and co-creator David Benioff.

The preview is titled as Ice and Fire: A Foreshadowing and is available for your viewing pleasure below….

Season 4 promises us a lot of trouble for Tyrion Lannister, dragons that are finally growing bigger than cats and gives us a glimpse at the wedding of everyone’s favourite King Joffrey and scheming Margaery Tyrell – the wedding which may possibly rival the infamous Red Wedding from Season 3.

 

UK village to change name to Game of Thrones’ Kings Landing

To mark the release of Season 3 of HBO’s Game of Thrones on DVD on February 18th, a UK village Kings Langley is going to temporarily change its name to that of Westeros’s capital Kings Landing.

According to Radio Times, one of the show’s producers heard the town’s name whilst at a London train station and decided to orchestrate the name-change publicity stunt.

Whether Kings Langley will see the violence commonly found in Kings Landing is highly unlikely, but it could be a great boost for tourism business for the village. Kings Langley is based in Hertfordshire, roughly 2 miles north of Watford, if everyone is interested in visiting and taking obligatory photos with street signs.

Season 4 of Game of Thrones is due to arrive in Spring 2014. The series is based on George R R Martin’s series of books A Song of Fire and Ice.
