Game of Thrones Season 7 wraps in Zumaia, preps for Malpartida
By Ani Bundel
Good morning! Game of Thrones has wrapped up its final day of shooting on Itzurun Beach in Zumaia. For those in Spain who can get down there, today is the day that tourists can visit the set close up, once the crew clears out. We’re looking forward to those pictures!
As usual, The Daily Mail was on the scene during the shoot! You know what that means: Sunday morning spoilers, coming down.
On a Sunday morning sidewalk,
I’m wishing, Lord, that I was spoiled.
‘Cause there’s something in a Sunday
That makes a fangirl feel alone.
And there’s nothing short a’ dying
That’s half as lonesome as the sound
Of the sleeping city sidewalk
And Sunday morning spoilers coming down.
Are you sure you want to see? Ok, grab your coffee and bagel and let’s get to it. Here’s what’s happening on Itzurun Beach, which is standing in primarily for Dragonstone, Daenerys’ new home base in Westeros.
These pictures actually look to be from a couple of days back, the serious takes after Emilia Clarke and company stopped fooling around and dancing on the set.
Moving on, someone is having a bad day. Like, Daniel Powter oughta write a song about it level bad day.
Yep, that’s the sight of Ironborn beating the crap out of Theon Greyjoy, not unlike what happened in Season 2.
Of course, we know how that turned out for the Ironborn who thought handing him over to Ramsay Snow would get them a ticket home. For the sake of those following Dany, let’s hope this beating Theon is taking doesn’t bring similar results for the Ironborn involved.
So why is Theon taking a beating? And why isn’t Yara there to protect him? Well, the rumor is that Euron will take either Theon or Yara prisoner. If Euron is the lucky party and Theon abandons her or is somehow responsible for it, the Ironborn may be none too pleased.
Also note director Jeremy Podeswa on the left of the show above. This is very interesting, as it is heavily rumored that Podeswa is directing the first and last episodes of Season 7. I would have assumed this to be a mid-season scene. Might Yara be captured this early on in the year?
Of course, the Ironborn could be beating up Theon for some other reason.
Meanwhile, as the October ends, the production will next head to the ruins of Italica (through November 12), followed by a two-day stint filming what’s rumored to be a battle scene at Malpartida de Caceres (November 14 and 15). Los Siete Reinos has a picture from the set up for that potential battle (or ambush) scene.
And lest we forget! While all this excitement is happening in Spain, filming is still grinding away up in Northern Ireland!
Moneyglass, as we know, has stood in for Winterfell for season after season. And that looks very Winterfell-ish if you ask us….
