WiC Weekly: October 23-29
By WiC Staff
We get into A Discovery of Witches, look at some Lord of the Rings near-misses, and listen to Kit Harington discuss just about everything.
It’s time to go over the biggest developments in the world of movies, TV, sci-fi and fantasy over the past seven days. It’s time for WiC Weekly. Let’s begin.
First up, Game of Thrones star Kit Harington gets preemptively wistful:
Kit Harington played Jon Snow for eight seasons on Game of Thrones, and thinks there will be "a bit of pain" over seeing a new team visit Westeros. https://t.co/4PfjnYcvvF

I think we would all feel stupid if we made this decision:
Adrien Brody is one of many actors who turned down a role in Peter Jackson's The Lord ofd the Rings trilogy and lived to regret it. https://t.co/unXtC5zRdS

George R.R. Martin is famous for rewriting his books as he goes. That means there are a lot of alternate versions of events floating around out there:
An early version of A Feast for Crows reveals that George R.R. Martin once had very different plans for Brienne of Tarth. Good thing he changed his mind... https://t.co/raEJ80UnL5

Shadow and Bone star Ben Barnes talks about his hopes for the show — and for his villainous character in particular — in its upcoming second season.

Yes, HBO probably wasn’t thinking terribly seriously about this when they made this post, but it’s still a good way to kick off discussion:
Who is the Prince (or Princess) That Was Promised in Game of Thrones/A Song of Ice and Fire? Does it matter? HBO picks a horse. https://t.co/eXZRYaUPxB

Kit Harington (Jon Snow) and Richard Madden (Robb Stark) are back onscreen together in Eternals. But the reunion isn’t the huge event some Game of Thrones are probably hoping for:
In Eternals, Ikaris (Richard Madden) and Dane Whitman (Kit Harington) are both interested in the same woman, who funnily enough is named Sersi (Gemma Chan). https://t.co/QBXGVNCfqQ

Speaking of Eternals, we have an early review. It’s not Marvel’s best work…
Marvel's Eternals, directed by Chloé Zhao, is an overly ambitious film that ultimately gets bogged down by too many competing elements. https://t.co/XtlpEmx0vf

The Walking Dead universe is shambling forward. Here’s what we want to see from the franchise’s upcoming anthology show:
AMC’s new Walking Dead anthology show presents tons of opportunities for new stories. They could explore characters’ pasts, take the zombie apocalypse international, and more. https://t.co/ULD1i7WO6L
