HBO is starting to tease out the arrival of Game of Thrones Season 7 later this year. Can a trailer be all that far behind?
On Friday, buzz began after a short short teaser hyping the return of Game of Thrones Season 7 started running around reddit, and by Saturday it had been confirmed. A very short shot of Oathkeeper was being shown on HBO in between their primetime offerings.
We breathlessly posted about this video, but there’s not just one teaser floating about: there are TWO. And the second one doesn’t just tease a well-know prop. It’s got actual footage of one of the actors.
Both of these teasers tie back to the closest thing to a trailer we’ve had for season 7 so far — the “In Production” short that showed the costumes, props, sets and so forth all being readied for filming.
These seem like extensions of that. “Here is a finished prop.” “Here is an actor getting into make up.” But the second is far more exciting than the first. After all, up until now, all of the footage we have had from Game of Thrones Season 7 of the Lannisters are bootleg film and paparazzi-type photos from fans near the production. This is are first official glimpse of Cersei for Season 7. It looks like she’s still got her seat on the Iron Throne…for now.
