GAME OF THRONES’ Deaths are Kind of Adorable as 8-bit GIFs

How adorable would an ’80s Game of Thrones Nintendo video game have been? Outside of being way fun, that is. And the bonus levels alone would’ve made it worth it (so much warging). Those longing for a visualization of such a throwback/mash-up need look no further than this very post, as the George R.R. Martin series-turned-HBO-series has gotten the pixelated 8-bit treatment thanks to the inventive minds over at BuzzFeed.

In preparation for the show’s fourth season return on April 6th, 14 8-bit GIFs were created featuring the more brutal and iconic deaths of the series thus far (so spoilers, kids). And while there are plenty of good ones over on their site — Samwell vs. the White Walker, the battle of Kings Landing, the Hand’s tournament — we’ve picked out our favorites for you, below.

Annie Leibovitz’s GAME OF THRONES Photos are Right Up Her Fantastical Alley

Many of you out there know Annie Leibovitz’s work even if they don’t know her name. The iconic photographer has taken some of the most beautiful pictures in the world, tackling the larger-than-life with a mesmerizing clarity. And her photo shoot with HBO’s Game of Thrones for Vanity Fair is no different. In fact, the fantastical world of Westeros is the perfect place for her artistic eye.

As evidenced by the photos released today to coincide with the forthcoming cover story, Leibovitz had the Lannisters, the Starks, and everyone in between (Hodor! Hodor Hodor Hodor.) on hand to bring her brand of lush magical reality into photographic life.

Great Dane: Game of Thrones' Nikolaj Coster-Waldau

At 43, the actor is finally poised to enter the ranks of leading men. What's taken the Danish sex symbol so long? He's always had looks and talent to burn. But it took playing a vain, murderous, incestuous swordsman to make us love him.

'Game of Thrones' renewed for TWO more seasons

HBO has renewed its hit fantasy drama Game of Thrones for a fifth and sixth season.

The renewal comes on the heels of a record-breaking fourth season premiere April 6, with the series garnering 6.6 million viewers. That made the premiere episode HBO’s most-watched program since The Sopranos’ series finale in 2007. Two replays of the Thrones episode propelled the full-night tally up to 8.2 million viewers.

“Game of Thrones is a phenomenon like no other,” said Michael Lombardo, president, HBO Programming, in a statement. “David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, along with their talented collaborators, continue to surpass themselves, and we look forward to more of their dazzling storytelling.”

'Game of Thrones' looks to Spain for season 5

TV’s most globe-trotting series is preparing to add another country to its passport. Sources say HBO’s Game of Thrones is looking to film part of season 5 in Spain. The HBO fantasy hit is currently scouting locations in the Andalucia region of the country and is deep in talks with a local film commission.

If all goes according to plan, Spain will mark the seventh country (the seventh kingdom, if you will) where Thrones has shot on location. The main Thrones production base and studio is at Titanic Studios in Belfast, Northern Ireland (a former shipyard where the fated luxury liner was constructed a century ago). In addition, production units have been dispatched in recent seasons to Croatia (mostly King’s Landing scenes) and Iceland (mostly scenes set North of the The Wall). Footage has also been shot in Morocco and Malta (largely the Slaver’s Bay cities in Essos) and, briefly, the United States (the bear pit scene).

While fans of George R.R. Martin’s novels will certainly have their theories, we cannot reveal which part of the increasingly expansive world of Game of Thrones that Spain will help depict.

Last Sunday, Thrones tied its series high in viewership this season, reaching 7.2 million viewers for its first airing and 8.5 million viewers for the night. Thrones is renewed for two more seasons, with production on season 5 starting this summer.

Meet the New Game of Thrones Season 5 Cast

The Game of Thrones cast is growing for season five. HBO announced several new additions to the world of Westeros at San Diego Comic-Con 2014. Here's the breakdown of the new Dorne figures coming to shake things up:

Alexander Siddig will play Doran Martell, the ruling lord of Dorne and the older brother to Prince Oberyn Martell ( Pedro Pascal). Doran Martell is described as even-tempered and deliberate.

Toby Sebastian will play Trystane Martell, son to Prince Doran and heir to the Dorne. He's betrothed to Mycrella Baratehon as part of an alliance offered by Tywin Lannister ( Charles Dance).

Nell Tiger Free will play Mycrella, the eldest child of Cersei Lannister ( Lena Headey) and King Robert Baratheon ( Mark Addy)…but in reality, her father is Jaime Lannister ( Nikolaj Coster-Waldau).

Jessica Henwick will play Nymeria "Nym" Sand, the second eldest of Prince Oberyn's daughters.

Rosabell Laurenti Sellers will play Tyene Sand, another daughter of Prince Oberyn by Ellaria Sand, his last mistress. She's described as "fiercer than she looks" and is known for having twin daggers.

Keisha Castle-Hughes is Obara Sand, a "fearsome warrior" and daughter of Prince Oberyn.

DeObia Oparei joins the cast as Areo Hotah, the captain of Doran Martell's palace guard.

Enzo Cilenti has been cast as Yezzan, once an extremely wealthy slave trader before Daenerys Targaryen ( Emilia Clarke) outlawed the trade.

Rounding out the cast is Jonathan Pryce as the High Sparrow, a devout man who went to King's Landing to serve the poor and quickly developed a large following.

Season five will premiere in 2015.

GAME OF THRONES Actor J.J. Murphy Dies in the Midst of Filming Season 5

And now his watch is ended. Native Northern Ireland actor J.J. Murphy has passed away, only four days into filming the fifth season of HBO’s Game of Thrones. According to the Belfast Telegraph, Ser Denys Mallister (as was his character on the series), collapsed and died on Friday. He was 86 years old.

The series’ executive producers, D.B. Weiss and David Benioff released a joint statement in regards to the passing: “We will not be recasting J.J. Murphy. He was a lovely man, and the best Denys Mallister we could have hoped for. And now his watch is ended.”

Murphy reportedly had more scenes to film in the coming week as his character Ser Denys Mallister, the oldest member of the Night’s Watch. The man commanded the Shadow Tower for thirty-three years and was uncle of Lord Jason Mallister, a renowned tourney knight and bannerman loyal to House Tully. It has been reported that Murphy had a lot of pride in being cast and acting in the series.

Outside of his forthcoming work on Thrones, Murphy also had a role as an elder townsmen in the upcoming feature film Dracula Untold starring Luke Evans, Dominic Cooper, Sarah Gadon, and Samantha Barks in addition to fellow actors from the Realm Charles Dance (Tywin Lannister) and Art Parkinson (Rickon “Where’s Rickon?” Stark).

Murphy also acted in several notable films, including Angela’s Ashes and the 1984 Helen Mirren/Joe Lynch film, Cal. Additionally, he was a noted actor at the Lyric Theatre in Belfast alongside the likes of Liam Neeson and another Thrones co-star, Ciaran Hinds (Mance Rayder).
