The Natalie Dormer One Woman Game of Thrones Promotional Tour continues. Dormer is still talking to outlets under the guise of promoting The Forest, which already flopped in the states and isn’t expected to do much better in the UK. Along the way, she’s talked plenty about Game of Thrones Season 6.
In this new set of interviews, with Digital Spy and Marie Claire UK, Dormer discusses two different subjects: how long Game of Thrones will run, and who in Westeros she would personally like to snog.
The discussion about how long Game of Thrones will run has been around for a while. It came back into the spotlight recently after comments from cast members and HBO executives that the production had wavered on its “Seven Kingdoms, Seven Seven Gods, Seven Books, Seven Seasons” stance, and that Season 8 will be greenlit fairly soon. As far as Dormer is concerned, the show is going to run as long as Benioff and Weiss want it to.
"I know that there’s been lots of pow-wows over the years about it…They’ll take as long as they think it requires. [David Benioff and Dan Weiss are] savvy guys and great storytellers."
Meanwhile, at Marie Claire, Dormer played the British version of “F**k, Marry, Kill,” which is known over there as the far more polite-sounding “Snog, Marry, Avoid.” It turns out that Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Theon Greyjoy, and Charles Dance are her top contenders for the first column.
Well, I’d probably snog Theon because…if he’s Theon as Theon and not Reek. That’s how I’m gonna cheat. He was a half decent human being when he was still very much Stark in his ethos. I’d marry Joffrey ‘cos I know how to handle him. I’ve done it already. Definitely avoid Ramsay Snow. That man is evil.
Marry Ned. Snog Littlefinger and avoid Tywin. That’s really cruel to Charles Dance – cause if it was Charles Dance, he’s a bit of a lovey. I might be tempted to snog him!
I’d marry Robb. I’m really giving this thing consideration. Jon Snow’s dead, so I’d avoid him. And I’d probably be interested in snogging Nikolaj. I mean, what woman wouldn’t be?!
Well, I suppose it’s good to know that she’s not into snogging corpses, but I am amused that after dropping larger circular hints about Jon Snow’s fate, in this instance she’s merely calling him dead as a doornail. Perhaps she’s just thinking if she’d snog him “right now.”
