<p>Redeye Chicago has a <a href="http://articles.redeyechicago.com/2012-02-02/entertainment/31018315_1_iron-throne-madonna-directed-sarah">long interview</a> with Natalie Dormer about her roles in <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1772379/"><em>The Fades</em></a>,&nbsp; Madonna&#8217;s <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1536048/"><em>W.E.</em></a>, and (of course) HBO&#8217;s <em>Game of Thrones</em>, where she plays the role of <a href="http://www.westeros.org/GoT/Characters/Entry/Margaery_Tyrell">Margaery Tyrell</a>.</p>

<div class="ImageRight"><p>
<a href="http://www.westeros.org/GoT/Gallery/Entry/2975/"><img src="http://www.westeros.org/GoT/Graphics/Gallery/Behind%20the%20Scenes/GameOfThrones_Production01_Screencap_20_M.jpg" /></a>
</p></div>

<p>The <em>Game of Thrones</em> questions start on <a href="http://articles.redeyechicago.com/2012-02-02/entertainment/31018315_1_iron-throne-madonna-directed-sarah/3">page 3</a>, where Dormer proves to be quite coy about her character and her role in the story. However, she does say this:</p>

<div class="Quote">&#8220;I just finished second series before Christmas and I&#8217;ll be doing third series in the summer.&#8221;</div>

<p>Not to say that the thirrd season is a go, but that at least pins down their views as to when Dormer&#8217;s likely to be doing the bulk of her work if a third season is commissioned by HBO&#8230; and given <a href="http://www.westeros.org/GoT/News/Entry/Game_of_Thrones_Grows_in_Popularity/">the numbers</a> it&#8217;s starting to feel like less of a question of &#8220;if&#8221; and more of a question of &#8220;when&#8221; and &#8220;how many&#8221;, if there&#8217;s the chance that HBO will commit to a two-season order this next go-around.

<title>Valyrian Steel to Produce Game of Thrones Replicas</title>
<link>http://www.westeros.org/GoT/News/Entry/Valyrian_Steel_to_Produce_Game_of_Thrones_Replicas/</link>
<guid>http://www.westeros.org/GoT/News/Entry/Valyrian_Steel_to_Produce_Game_of_Thrones_Replicas/</guid>
<description>
<![CDATA[
<p>Big news for fans of replica memorabilia has just come down the pipeline: <a href="http://www.valyriansteel.com/">Valyrian Steel</a>, producers of officially licensed weapons based on &#8220;A Song of Ice and Fire&#8221;, have now<a href="http://www.valyriansteel.com/2012/02/02/replicas-from-hbos%C2%AE-series-game-of-thrones%C2%AE/">announced</a> that they have secured the rights to produce weapons and armor based on HBO&#8217;s hit <em>Game of Thrones</em> series. The first items they plan to produce?</p>



<div class=Quote">We have already started work on the Bran Assassination Dagger, the Hound&#8217;s Helm, a Stark Infantry Shield, and Robb Stark&#8217;s Sword, which we hope to have out by the end of the year. Many are likely wondering if we plan on producing show versions of the book swords we have already done, the answer to that is yes, we intend on eventually doing that.</div>

<p>Best of all, Valyrian Steel means to continue to producing replicas based on the novels at the same time. They have a <a href="http://www.westeros.org/ASoWS/News/Entry/Preorder_the_Beyond_the_Wall_Survival_Kit/">Night&#8217;s Watch Survival Kit</a> in the pipeline, each one featuring a unique, hand-made obsidian dagger, and King Robert&#8217;s Warhammer is on the way to join  <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Longclaw-Licensed-George-Martins-Thrones/dp/B001KMBQX2/?tag=westeros-20">Longclaw</a>, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Needle-Stark-Licensed-George-Martins/dp/B0036PYU70/?tag=westeros-20">Needle</a>, and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Game-Thrones-Sword-Eddard-Stark/dp/B005OJVINK/?tag=westeros-20">Ice</a>. All the weapons made under the &#8220;A Song of Ice and Fire&#8221; license are done with the direct input of GRRM, unlike the <em>Game of Thrones</em> replicas.

<title>Liam Cunningham Talks Davos with Access Hollywood</title>

<![CDATA[
<p>Thanks to Cunningham&#8217;s hint followed by Jolie Lash&#8217;s prompting, we now know what Cunningham was doing yesterday&#8212;getting <a href="http://www.accesshollywood.com/access-countdown-to-game-of-thrones-season-2-qanda-liam-cunningham-talks-davos-seaworth_article_59908">interviewed</a> by Access Hollywood about his role as Ser Davos Seaworth! In fact, there&#8217;s an excellent video interview with the actor (who&#8217;s awfully charming, if I may say so) as well, which covers the same material</p>

<div class="ImageMiddle">
<object id="flashObj" width="480" height="270" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,47,0"><param name="movie" value="http://c.brightcove.com/services/viewer/federated_f9?isVid=1&amp;isUI=1" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" /><param name="flashVars" value="videoId=1426347922001&amp;playerID=1107193999001&amp;playerKey=AQ~~,AAABAY6g5IE~,g0_gr83Y4h2EAN5qXaSxDEt7F8lzBsER&amp;domain=embed&amp;dynamicStreaming=true" /><param name="base" value="http://admin.brightcove.com" /><param name="seamlesstabbing" value="false" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="swLiveConnect" value="true" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><embed src="http://c.brightcove.com/services/viewer/federated_f9?isVid=1&amp;isUI=1" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" flashVars="videoId=1426347922001&amp;playerID=1107193999001&amp;playerKey=AQ~~,AAABAY6g5IE~,g0_gr83Y4h2EAN5qXaSxDEt7F8lzBsER&amp;domain=embed&amp;dynamicStreaming=true" base="http://admin.brightcove.com" name="flashObj" width="480" height="270" seamlesstabbing="false" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowFullScreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" swLiveConnect="true" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"></embed></object></div>

<p>Hopefully no one will seriously take issue with their changing the hand from which Davos&#8217;s is lacking a few joints!

<title>Game of Thrones Grows in Popularity</title>

<![CDATA[
<p>(UPDATE:</p>

<p>James Hibberd at <a href="http://insidetv.ew.com/2012/02/01/game-of-thrones-trailerrecords/">EW</a> seems to have been thinking along the same lines, and has learned from a network representative that they&#8217;ve never had a piece of online promotional content generate so many hits (now standing at some 3.5 million) in so short a time. Amazing.)</p>

<p>The eager fans of HBO&#8217;s hit series who flocked to <a href="http://www.westeros.org/GoT/News/Entry/6021/">the &#8220;Shadows&#8221; teaser</a> is quite amazing. A day and a half since it premiered, and Youtube presently reports that it&#8217;s been viewed no less than 2,296,806 times. That&#8217;s&#8230; well, a lot! The intensity of anticipation among fans of the series is growing as we&#8217;re about two hit just two months away from the premiere on April 1st (April 2nd in the UK and Central Europe).</p>

<p>In fact, the numbers suggest that the show has been steadily climbing all around, not just in the perception of the fandom on the internet. </p>

<title>Game of Thrones Scores SAG Award</title>

<![CDATA[
<p>Although the ensemble cast of <em>Game of Thrones</em> struck out for &#8220;Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Dramatic Series&#8221;&#8212;losing to sibling <em>Boardwalk Empire</em>, who had taken the award last year&#8212;it was not all for naught for the show. Earlier in the day, it was <a href="http://sagawards.tnt.tv/share-it-now/view/161">announced on the red carpet</a> that the show took the award for &#8220;Outstanding Perfomance by a  Stunt Ensemble in a Television Series&#8221;, which is certainly well-deserved when you consider how many stunts went into the series. Congratulations all around to the stunt team! Full results can be found at the <a href="http://www.sagawards.org/awards/nominees-and-recipients/18th-annual-screen-actors-guild-awards">Screen Actors Guild Awards</a> page.</p>

<p>The nice thing about the ensemble being nominated, it must be said, is the fact that so many of the actors&#8212;especially the younger actors&#8212;turned up at the award ceremony. Here&#8217;s a recap of who was there:</p>

<ul>
<li><a href="http://sagawards.tnt.tv/share-it-now/view/140">Kit Harrington</a> was there, and was even featured in a <a href="http://sagawards.tnt.tv/share-it-now/view/119">red carpet interview</a>.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.gettyimages.se/Search/Search.aspx?contractUrl=2&amp;language=en-US&amp;family=editorial&amp;assetType=image&amp;p=Emilia+Clarke+SAG">Emilia Clarke</a> looked lovely in a Chanel dress from the Fall 2012 collection. There&#8217;s even a <a href="http://thefashionpatrol.com/2012/01/29/emilia-clarke-in-chanel-at-the-18th-sag-awards/">poll</a> about the look and what fans thought of it.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.gettyimages.se/Search/Search.aspx?contractUrl=2&amp;language=en-US&amp;family=editorial&amp;assetType=image&amp;p=Alfie+Allen+SAG">Alfie Allen</a> looked relaxed with his open collar.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.gettyimages.se/Search/Search.aspx?contractUrl=2&amp;language=en-US&amp;family=editorial&amp;assetType=image&amp;p=Nikolaj+SAG">Nikolaj Coster-Waldau</a> was on hand, too!</li>
<li>Jason Momoa and wife Lisa Bonet were there as well, and were glimpsed on camera&#8230; but it doesn&#8217;t look as if they managed a red carpet photo. From what we&#8217;ve <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/Kelbelle9/status/163839505378443264">read</a> from one of HBO&#8217;s publicity people, the photo line was quite horrendous and many actors chose to skip it.</li>
</ul>

<p>That video had a <em>lot</em> of new images, didn&#8217;t it? Some excellent material for consideration and discussion, and to help that along, we&#8217;ve posted screencaps <a href="http://www.westeros.org/GoT/Gallery/Category/C55/P570/">to our Previews gallery</a>, beginning with <a href="http://www.westeros.org/GoT/Gallery/Entry/3137/">this first look</a> at Dragonstone. It goes on for 45 more images, giving us added looks at Brienne of Tarth, Xaro Xhoan Daxos, and even Pyat Pree. There&#8217;s one image I failed to capture, of Catelyn, but we&#8217;ll be adding that tomorrow. Today&#8230; well, it&#8217;s 5 AM and bed is calling. Enjoy!</p>
