Our resident rodent (known to most only as the reclusive Rabbit) has found a nice little bit of buried GoT treasure! In the latest edition of Bruner’s Chapel Blog, photographer and blogger David Crowe has posted pictures of Jason Momoa as Khal Drogo, as well as some other Dothrakicentric images.
All photos: David Crowe
Fire and Blood: Nice digging, Rabbit! Clearly HBO is going for a more fierce look for Drogo rather than something taken from the cover of a romance novel. Instead of long Fu Manchu-era mustaches they gave him a rather manly, bearded look. The blue paint across the shoulders, I’m going to assume, is ceremonial.

Ugh…
And what’s with the sea shore? The Dothraki are supposed to loathe the sea. That’s why it was a big deal when Drogo vowed to cross it with his horde to get revenge on the Usurper for trying to murder Dany…
RinsoQuote Reply
Rinso,
This has been talked about quite a bit. The generally feeling is that it is a bit off, but explainable because the wedding takes place outside of Pentos and Pentos is a port town on the water. Also, Drogo came to Pentos for the wedding, not Dany going to the Dothraki… so Drogo may have been willing to make an exception since marrying Dany is a pretty big deal.
Also, it’s a cool location and will probably look awesome on screen. But yea, a bit off for the Dothraki…
ChrisQuote Reply
Why is Drogo wearing eye shadow? I’m a little put off by that. I also wonder if they will incorporate his Polynesian tattoo on his forearm as part of his Dothraki look, or will they keep it covered with those arm guard thingies (I’m sure there’s technical word I don’t know) he’s wearing (is that him or someone else?) in the third shot.
Is he being interviewed in the first and second shot? Or are they doing some sort of close up shot? Urgh! Too many questions!
Christina KolbQuote Reply
Also, for some reason, I don’t picture the Dothraki as a particularly streamer-loving/making/hanging up society…
Christina KolbQuote Reply
Chris,
Is it confirmed that those photos are from the wedding? My (relatively vague) impression was that it happened during the evening/ night. Anyway, while it was outside Pentos, and Pentos is a port city, it could just as easily have been conducted on the other side of Pentos; y’know, the one that isn’t facing the sea ;P Yeah, I’m being petty nitpicker, nevermind me X_X

Christina Kolb,
The “arm guard thingies” are called vambraces, I believe. I doubt they’ll cover up that tattoo, though.
I quite like his look, different as it is from the description on the printed page.
ZackQuote Reply
I’m thinking that maybe these particular shots, tantalizing as they are for us fans who are dying to see what Khal Drogo looks like, are not as flattering as they could be. Momoa is kind of sitting hunched over talking, not delibrately posing showing off his muscles and his costume like if this was a photo shoot. I’m also wondering if he’s not wearing his entire Khal get up in this picture.
I think Momoa is perfect for the role of Khal Drogo. I’m not 100% sold yet on HBO’s take on the Dothraki with costuming. He looks tough, but not total badass like the Khal of khals should be. Also a bit… piratey somehow. I miss the uncut braid touching his thighs from the books, hung with bells of his slain enemies.

So unless he’s wearing super-duper extra long vambraces, or a long sleeved shirt, I’m guessing they’re going to keep his tattoo as part of his costume, or cover it with make up.

hmm.. they haven’t just put the set there because its easier to put on the CG Dothraki sea afterwards? :P
KarakkaQuote Reply
Is that Dany’s hair we can see in pic 1, directly in front of the tent (Yurt?) next to the white horse?
As has been said, these pics obviously don’t show the fearsome Khal Drogo in the best light so to speak. I think in these he looks a bit too much like something you might see in an old Sinbad movie…

This is along the same thought patterns I have been having since we discovered that they were shooting by the ocean.

Half Myrish,
I was thinking that this was an interview, and that perhaps the braid is removable and so he’s just not wearing it in the photo. Could be wrong though, but I hope not.
Steve Hugh WestenraQuote Reply
While not at all how I envisioned Drogo in my mind, this look works for me. And I agree with others who have said that we’re likely not seeing him in full costume. It does look like Momoa is doing an interview of some type (a behind-the-scenes featurette for the DVDs perhaps?).
Has anyone considered that they will simply make the ocean water look like wind-rippled sand in post? Doesn’t seem like that would be that hard to do. If not, I could learn to live with the ocean in the background. It is quite a breathtaking backdrop and would look great on screen. Besides, just because the Dothraki hate the sea and don’t want to cross it, doesn’t mean they can’t admire if from afar, right?
I agree that the streamers and pennants seem out of place for the Dothraki. I do love the huts/tents. They look great.
furreverQuote Reply
Rinso,
My thoughts are that hopefully they will be doing post production work to make it look like The Dothraki Sea with all sorts of waving grass and the like… I know its a long shot but i am hopeful.
It is also possible they just wanted sea side weather effects for one of the scenes, and that no actual water will be scene in the final product
Raj MahalQuote Reply
A little weird, sure, but c’mon. That location is freaking epic! Honestly, it’s far more sweeping and dramatic a place for a wedding than the grassy fields and makeshift tents and pavilions were it took place, (in the version in my head,) according to the books.
Keep in mind that there WILL be sacrifices and differing interpretations in the whole book-to-television translation. It’s not a bad thing. It can be a good thing. But that’s a fact. Maybe the Dothraki in the HBO version don’t have as big a problem with the sea as George’s Dothraki do…is that really such a major issue? I, for what it’s worth, don’t mind it all that much. Does it cheapen the fact that Drogo is willing to cross the sea to win back Dani’s throne? Perhaps slightly, but in the grand scheme of things, who’s really going to care other than us nit-picky die-hards? :)

I’ll echo others’ comments :: The setting is gorgeous ! I don’t care if they’re departing from the book on this, the ocean shots will look fantastic on screen. And showing Dany’s wedding by a beautiful ocean might help contrast the hardships she encounters when assimilating into the Dothraki culture?

These pics are amazing! Great find, The Rabbit!
I love Drogo’s new look. The beard looks badass! I was worried the mustachios wouldn’t look good on screen and it seems D&D agree. Also, Momoa looks pretty big. Maybe not as cut as he was in the Conan shots, but he doesn’t seem to have lost much bulk. He should make one intimidating khal.
As to his missing braid, I’m going to guess he is either not wearing it in this shot, or it’s going down his back so you can’t see it. The other Dothrakis have braids, so I don’t see why Drogo wouldn’t. He’s obviously giving an interview for a behind-the-scenes feature, so, as others have suggested, he may not be in full costume.
Setting the wedding near the ocean was something I had questioned back when we first got a report about this scene, but I have to admit it looks pretty cool. I guess the Dothraki won’t be as afraid of water in the TV series as they are in the books. Not a huge deal.
The rest of the set looks good. About how I imagined it. I wonder how different this set looks from the original pilot version?
Everything we’ve seen so far on this production has met or exceeded my expectations. Can’t wait for spring!
Winter Is ComingQuote Reply
You may be right. :o)
Looking closely at the pics posted up top, Momoa is bare chested with no straps. The blue markings are over his shoulders not around his biceps/triceps. The rear shots of what might be Drogo show a person with straps on his upper torso and blue around the arms. I don’t think they are Drogo.
I may of course be wrong, there is a great deal of speculation by many of us when trying to read into random still shots. I do however think there is a shot of Drogo from behind in the last of the shots posted above. He is front and centre, topless with blue coming over his shoulders… and yes there is a long braid! He is standing to the right of the woman in the traditional Dothraki denim skirt ;o)

I wonder who the guy is in the fourth shot sitting just to the right of the big boulder. Seems to be wearing a grey cloak? Maybe Ser Jorah?
Also I too have no problem if they use the sea as the backdrop, it may be a slight departure from the book but it looks amazing!
Avalanche3319Quote Reply
I’m sure the sea will be removed once it is time to composite the shot in the editing room. They obviously just want the desert foreground. Are you guys forgetting how the John Adams scenes were composited from a bunch of different pieces?
spacechampionQuote Reply
If all HBO is going to do is CGI out the ocean scenery and put in sand or grass, why go to all the trouble of shooting in this special location in the first place? Isn’t this the location that ended up causing all the ruckus with the damaged fossil beds? Seems like they choose this location very specifically despite some serious hassles involved. I think the ocean water is here to stay, regardless of the accuracy to the books. Set does look pretty though.
Half MyrishQuote Reply
I was hoping they would keep him quite intimidating, like in the books.
We don’t want the female viewers to look at Dany being afraid of Drogo and think to themselves “Whats wrong with’ya girl? I would SO hit that!”.
She should come off as very young and vulnerable, and the viewers should be creeped out by the thought of this little pixie having to marry this far older brute of a lumberjack.
Then maybe she could style him up a little later, and he could take off his hairclasp(?) and swing his long, black hair about like in a shampoocommercial. Whatever. As long as it starts out right.
sjweningsQuote Reply
A couple thoughts:
Dothraki by the sea: Doesn’t bother me. Suggesting the Dothraki fear of “the poisoned water” equates to an inability to camp next to it is a bit of a stretch. Why wouldn’t every Dothraki-raided culture flee to the nearest shore if that were the case? I actually doubt it will be removed in post-production, and were it me—I would sacrifice this tiny bit of canon just for a breathtaking view. I’ll bet they actually give mention to that particular Dothraki fear in the very same episode they show the wedding.
Daytime wedding: I think it’s obvious this isn’t happening. Look how long the shadows are already, and they look like they’re still prepping for the shoot. My bet is they shot the wedding at sunset, and the wedding feast was shot at night. (99.9% positive. In fact, the flashes of the two Dothraki fighting in the first teaser seemed to be from the wedding feast.)
Red priests, Unsullied, etc: Hell yes. I love the fact that the production is going that extra mile to include all these details, and the fact that we can identify these things by costume alone tells me they’re at least very close to hitting the nail on the head. Thank you, Michele Clapton!
Look, we know HBO probably isn’t thrilled by the fact that some of these images get leaked. (We can’t help it if Malta is such a wide-open place, or that the Rabbit is quick on her feet.) But look at it this way: if it’s pleasing to a large portion of the fandom without first going through the HBO filter, post-production, all that … then something’s being done right.
If something is blatantly wrong—rest assured, the fans will be the first to say so. So far so good.
Fire And BloodQuote Reply
sjwenings,
I think lighting, camera angles and just plain old acting should take care of that. The pictures are sunny and JM is smiling, so I really don’t think the effect we’re getting is anything close to what will eventually be seen onscreen.
And while I do think it’s important that Drogo is intimidating and not an instant love connection with Dany (or the audience) I don’t know if they’re going in the pixie-lumberjack direction. For one thing, Dany is quite a bit older than she is in the book, and IIRC, the leaked pilot script made a point of illustrating her ultimate willingness to consummate her marriage. Again, not that the visual aspect of all this is unimportant, but I wonder if they might emphasize Dany’s emotional immaturity and inexperience compared to Drogo, and use that to augment the “Sun and Stars” level of love that she eventually comes to have for him.
InkasrainQuote Reply
Agreed, so far it seems as if all the changes are accepted, or even welcomed, by the community. This is shaping up to be the best book to tv adaptation, or even best book to screen adaptation.
And honestly I would be happy as long as it is better then “Legend of the Seeker” (though that wouldn’t be hard to pull off at all)
ArithineQuote Reply
Yeah, i meant that he DOES look quite intimidating. And will be more so with the acting etc.
She might look older, but she’s still a little girl compared to this guy. And i’ve read the script too, and though she has sex with him quite willingly the first time (as she did in the books) that might still change somewhat after, before she eventually falls in love and all of that. Again, like in the books.

sjwenings,
All true :-) I can’t wait to see it onscreen!
InkasrainQuote Reply
Despite the sea-side setting, I love how the camp looks like, and in the finished images the surroundings will look even more breathtaking!
I hate the way Drogo looks though. In my mind he was a rough-around-the-edges, wiry lean-mean-killing-machine kind of guy, not a horribly oversized (almost Baywatch-style) gym kinda guy. Truly, look at anyone who does physical work for a living, and their muscles never look so blown up like that…

What’s confusing about it? She’s saying that once the show cuts to Winterfell and all that, you won’t be seeing nearly as much chestless men walking around. Of course once you get to King’s Landing and you have knights walking around all the time, I’m sure that will change.

I could be wrong, but I believe that is Illyrio in the cream colored robes in the middle left of the picture labeled “Crowded camp”. He’s wearing a dark, tall hat thingy, and it looks like someone is either fixing his make-up or his beard. He also appears to have the long, yellow beard like Illyrio should have.
Jaqen H’GharQuote Reply
Yeah, thats the confusing part.
sjweningsQuote Reply
Great find! Still just the usual leak quality, but it’s giving us many an idea about the directions of design. Now I can’t wait for an official Drogo photo in character … here it really looks like Drogo is just giving an interview. With the eyebrows and shadows like that he seems a tad too cartoonish for my taste, but again, that’s not the polished final look and so far I like it.
Repeating what FaB said, HBO can’t be happy with the leak, but a) we’re getting used to the decisions they have made, b) we like what we see, even if it’s still far from polished, and c) I suspect we’ll be pleasantly surprised with the final look! Comparing it with what we see and know now won’t take away the thrill, I think with the quality of the production we’ll be able to put all these behind-the-scenes images to the back of our mind, and completely immerse ourselves.
P.S. Very technically, rabbits are not rodents, but that provides such a cool alliteration I give FaBio a pass :)

I would agree HMR, does look a bit pantomime villain with that heavy eyeshadow – I can almost hear the ‘Mwhuhahhahhahh’. To my eyes he doesn’t look intimidating at all – but then again it does look like a to camera interview, so I will certainly give them the benefit of the doubt and await the final footage.

Okay, I admit that the location looks gorgeous, but couldn’t it have been used for other scenes instead?
Sure, it’s a small thing. Sure, it doesn’t matter in the grand scheme. Sure, I’m conservative and petty as far as my ASOIAF fanboy-ism goes (shockingly to myself, since I pride on being open-minded about everything). Sure, it’s not gonna ruin the show or anything like that. I’m just irked by the change.

At first I thought that khal Drogo has too small braid but somebody pointed out the back shot isn’t him so that is ok. Eyeliner he wears must be a makeup which won’t be visible on television but is necessary for the filming process.
Also, this doesn’t necessarily need to be a wedding scene. This could happen some time after Drogo vows he will win the Iron Throne for his son. It isn’t the same like in books but a poisoned water behind Drogo as he makes his vow could prove to be a dramatic scenery.

Petter Kristian VikestadQuote Reply
First of all, I have always been happy with the casting of Momoa as the khal, but now that I see him I’m not so convinced of his look.
Yes he does look intimidating, yes the beard is really badass and he’s buff and all, and the costume design looks cool but… his hair was supposted to be the color of ebony, and shiny and oiled and shampoo-commercial-squeeeee-awesome, right? I hope he isn’t wearing his wig on that particular photo because I’d be disappointed if they went with brownish hair-color for him.
I know it’s nitpicky, but this has always been pretty essential to me for Drogo as a character, also because it punctuates the diversity between him and Dany even in their physical appearance.
Oh well, anyways this is going to be one tiny bit of a huge and awesome show, so I guess I’ll get used to it. Eventually. Maybe.

I’m not sure if the guys in Red Robes are meant to be Red Priests or not. While I’m sure there could have been a few Red Priests at the Wedding there seems to be an awful lot of red robed men in that scene. I think they may just be high ranking citizens of Pentos.
As to whoever said the wedding took place at night so this scene may not be the wedding it is described as starting at dawn and continuing till dusk.

I believe in certain regions of the Asian Steppes between Himalyans, Western China and Eastern Russia, there are Mongol descended tribes that decorate their tent cities with banners like you see in the pics, I gather they are taking that look from those tribal areas. I like the hybrid job the makeup department has given Momoa, sort of part Mongol, part Persian. Though I see no Indian representation in his appearance, save for the skin tone.

Maybe it’s just me, but I like the couple of Conan pics of Momoa I’ve seen. He looks cut and lean in them (sadly less so as Drogo). So what if he looks a little romance novel cover? Plus he’s always got this fiery eyed look in the Conan pictures. I hope he brings the same passion to his role as the Khal.

What exactly is it about the Conan pictures that is offensive? Please enlighten me, because I’m not seeing it. I don’t see the Drogo pictures exactly screaming gritty realistic in comparison when I look at the two pictures side by side. Momoa is wearing longish hair in both, he’s muscular and bare chested in both. Biggest difference is the facial hair. He’s also wearing beard beads and blue paint. Oh yes, very gritty indeed.

As far as the romance novel thing goes, as long as he doesn’t look like this I will be okay with it.

It’s actually kind of crazy how similar the appearance of JM as Drogo and Conan are going to be. Both shirtless, leather riding pants, long dark hair, on horses a lot, etc.
I even wonder if they added the beard to make him look LESS like his role in Conan or if that was the plan all along.

It actually just occurred to me that perhaps we really will see the Freys in Season 1, since it would seem a bit odd for them to tell us upfront that we wouldn’t be getting the Tullys in the first season. Thinking on it now, if they had been planning to leave them for a later season, wouldn’t they have said the Tullys AND the Freys? Afterall, they’re related in terms of the storyline and when they come in.

That is a good point. I hadn’t thought of it but it makes sense. Ever since we found out Kevan Lannister was cast I’ve been getting more and more hopeful that we’ll see Lord Walder and Roose Bolton. Now I’ll be downright dissapointed if we don’t.
Avalanche3319Quote Reply
Also, it really seems as though they’re treating this project like they will get at least one more season. Why bother casting people like Lommy, Hot Pie, Kevan Lannister, Lord Beric (hopefully), etc. if they’re not looking ahead. Hopefully that means they’ll go ahead and cast for Lords Frey and Bolton, and possibly even look for some bigger actors even though the parts are small in the first season.
Avalanche3319Quote Reply
Avalanche3319,
Especially since, when you really think about it, with a lot of these roles they won’t be/aren’t appearing until late in the first season, so the time between shooting what seems like a very minor part and one that will be much bigger (in season 2) isn’t as great as it would be for characters that might appear in say, the first few episodes of season 1 and then not again until season 2 (not that I can think of any off the top of my head, but, just as an example for…non-exampliness).
