Game of Thrones extends stay in Italica, as actors greet their public in Seville

Production on Game of Thrones Season 7 continues in Seville, where several of the actors are holed up in the city’s Royal Shipyards. They’re filming in the interior of the area, so the chances of getting photos of the goings-on are slim. (Minor SPOILERS follow.)

That makes it similar to the nearby ruins of Italica, which have also proved less than ideal for on-set photos. However, would-be shutterbugs may get more chances. Los Siete Reinos reports that, due to heavy rains in the area this past Saturday, the production is extending its time in Italica by five days. That’s why there’s still activity around there.

This could also mean a delay in filming at the Shipyards, as both of these locations stand in for the same place: the Dragonpit of King’s Landing. Assumedly, they’ll involve some of the same players, although shooting at the Shipyards was always going to be less extensive than shooting at Italica. In any case, we’ll keep you posted.

Meanwhile, cast members are still making themselves available around Seville. Emilia Clarke (Daenerys) seems especially game, smiling and signing autographs wherever she goes.

Not for the first time, I’m reminded of the way the Beatles were treated during the height of their fame.

Other cast members are also getting in on the fun. Below, Liam Cunningham (Davos Seaworth), Gwendoline Christie (Brienne), and Kit Harington (Jon Snow) greet their public.

Elsewhere, the production is due to shoot scene at the Castillo de Almodóvar del Río at the end of the week, and then it’s on to Cáceres where actors are already congregating for a big battle scene. Things are happening.
