Game of Thrones co-showrunner David Benioff revealed in Tinderbox: HBO’s Ruthless Pursuit of New Frontiers that they wanted to film an incredible fight scene between Tyrion Lannister and Ser Gregor Clegane. The sequence was all mapped out, but the plan did not get off the ground due to budget constraints.

We had one big battle planned—Tyrion was supposed to follow The Mountain into combat and we planned on shooting the whole thing from Pete’s eye level. Alan Taylor had worked it out and it looked tremendous. But midway through shooting season one we got some bad news. We were running out of money. And worse than that—the season as a whole was running one hundred minutes short.

It’s a crying shame that we never got to see this scene, especially after they revealed it was going to be filmed through Tyrion’s perspective. If we...

Alison Brie has hinted Masters of the Universe will not be serious.Recent rumors suggested the upcoming action movie would be trading its light-hearted and campy style for a more dour tone, but Brie - who portrays Evil-Lyn in the film - has emphasized people don’t know “as much as they think they know” about Masters of the Universe.When Collider asked the 42-year-old actress whether the flick would be more serious, she said: “I don't think they know as much as they think they know.

Pedro Pascal’s time in Game Of Thrones was made incredibly memorable thanks to his head-busting death at the hands (literally in all senses) of The Mountain. Playing Oberyn Martell in the series gave Pascal one of his biggest roles and set him on the path to where he currently is now – one of the most sought-after actors with roles in The Last of Us on HBO and as Reed Richards in The Fantastic Four: First Steps, just two of his current slate. It seems that his death in the series is one that was not only traumatic for audiences, as the actor revealed recently that he had nightmares about that gory moment.

Pascal’s appearances in Game of Thrones saw him playing Oberyn as a man who was very self-assured and cocky about his own abilities as a fighter. In fact, it was his over-indulgence in attempting to get Ser Gregor Clegane,...

Heartbreak, tears, and trauma await fans as The Last of Us returns with a second season. Following the harrowing journey of Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey’s Joey and Ellie, Season 2 dives deeper into the post-apocalyptic world where survival comes at a hefty cost. With just one episode out, the season promises to be an emotional gut punch as we brace ourselves just in case we have to say goodbye to some of our favorite characters.

Apart from The Last of Us, Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey share another tense show in common – Game of Thrones. That’s right, the two actors appeared in the extremely popular fantasy series, and interestingly, both of their characters met brutal ends that left fans devastated. Let’s take a look at how.

Hafthor Bjornsson, most recognized as The Mountain in Game of Thrones, admitted to one dangerous secret that he does in order to maintain his powerful body. Surely, fans remember how he crushed Oberyn Martell’s skull with his bare hands, so we know just how strong he is.

The actor has joined and won several strongman competitions across the world, with him bagging first place in 2018’s World’s Strongest Man tournament. He is very proud of his achievements in the said sports, and he is very willing to do whatever is necessary to defend his title.

Hafthor Bjornsson has been in the bodybuilding career even before his stint in Game of Thrones. He played Ser Gregor Clegane in the fourth season of the show, taking over the role previously played by Conan Stevens and Ian Whyte.

In the world of strength athletics, Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson aka Thor is a name that commands respect as he’s set and broken many records. The powerhouse from Iceland also played The Mountain in Game of Thrones.

The towering knight seemed more like a monster than a fan, and fit right into the show’s grim and cutthroat nature. He mercilessly crushed skulls and wreaked havoc, leaving a strong mark on the viewers. But many might not know that he was played by three different actors throughout the show’s eight-season run.

Game of Thrones is pretty much an epic full of revenge stories, and one of the most popular vengeance arcs in the show was known as the Cleganebowl, or the highly anticipated duel between the Clegane brothers, Gregor and Sandor.

Fans finally got their wish after eight seasons, which saw the brutal end of The Hound and The Mountain, with Sandor finally exacting his revenge on his older brother, although it didn’t go the way we all expected. Still, the plunge into their fiery deaths seemed to give their story a poetic conclusion.

However, in a surprising twist of fate, when going against a significantly lighter opponent weighing nearly 190 pounds less than him, he tapped out. This surprising moment proves that in grappling, technique often trumps sheer size and power.

The Masters of the Universe movie has gathered four new villains. The multimedia franchise, which is set in a sci-fi fantasy universe and generally follows the longstanding battle between He-Man and the wicked Skeletor on the planet Eternia, kicked off as a toy line in 1982, which was followed by a 1983 animated series. The upcoming Masters of the Universe movie is the latest live-action project in the franchise, starring Nicholas Galitzine as He-Man, Camila Mendes as Teela, and Idris Elba as Duncan/Man-at-Arms.

Amazon MGM Studios and Mattel, Inc. have now announced that more villains will be joining the cast alongside the already announced Alison Brie as Evil-Lyn.

Jeremy Piven is willing to wait. Just look at his new film “The Performance”: The 59-year-old, three-time Emmy winner (for “Entourage”) has spent the last 15 years shepherding the project from short story acquisition to script to screen – and he’s got lots to say about it now.

In “Performance,” Piven who stars as a rising star tap dancer in the 1930s who’s hired to bring his troupe to perform in Nazified Germany. He first attached himself to the Arthur Miller short story over a decade ago by picking up the film option from Miller’s daughter Rebecca. But for all of Piven’s enthusiasm, the topic was just not landing for potential producers.

“If I pitched you as I did for the past over a decade what this film is, you would most likely laugh in my face,” he tells Gold Derby. “I’m a Jewish tap dancer in 1937 that dances for Hitler.

While airing, Game of Thrones was known as one of the most brutal shows on television. No character felt safe as, at any given moment, a fan-favorite Game of Thrones character could meet a tragic end. Even characters that were widely considered to have plot armor, and safe from death, still found themselves in terrifying and painful situations. This helped make Game of Thrones one of the most engaging and talked about shows throughout its peak seasons.

For all of the painful moments these characters have experienced, their actors have mostly escaped harm. With the help of stunt doubles and general protection that comes during production, rarely was a beloved Game of Thrones actor put in harm's way. That doesn't mean their experiences with the show were not harm-free. Maisie Williams, who...

Pedro Pascal’s Oberyn Martell met a grisly death in Game of Thrones after his duel with The Mountain, in which he agreed to be Tyrion Lannister’s champion during the trial by combat. It was one of the most intense and shocking events in the franchise that brought so much horror to the viewers.

While Oberyn was a fierce and skillful fighter, there was another who would most likely become Tyrion’s champion if he had not lost his sword hand. Yes, fans could have witnessed a duel between Jaime Lannister and Ser Gregor Clegane!

"Game of Thrones" had an enormous cast and was filmed in locations all across Europe, from Iceland to Malta. It needed both to do justice to the world and characters described in author George R. R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire," but the complicated logistics almost meant that recasting of B-list and below characters was inevitable.

For example: original Night King actor Richard Brake was replaced by Vladimir Furdik in season 6. Since the Night King's blue-skinned make-up remained the same, this recasting could escape notice. Other actor swaps on "Game of Thrones" were more obvious -- like how Ser Gregor "The Mountain" Clegane was recast not just once but twice.

In both the books and TV series, the Mountain earns his name from his enormous size. He's about eight feet tall and half as wide, and his sword dwarfs many of the men he cuts down with it.

A recent meme drew a few comparisons between two beloved franchises. The fandoms of Game of Thrones and Star Wars would find it surprising that both storylines have quite a few things in common. Both are fantasy worlds, with one focusing on a medieval setting while the other is set in space.

Star Wars deals with the shift in power between the good and the bad, while Game of Thrones is a more grey area when it comes to those in power. Here are three of the uncanny similarities between the two shows, that will make both fandoms interested in the other’s lore.

Game of Thrones is one of the most popular television series of all time, and despite its polarizing final season, the show remains a hit with fans of all ages. Based on George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Game of Thrones ran for eight seasons and introduced dozens of memorable characters during its run, including one of the strongest warriors in the history of Westeros: Sandor Clegane.

Better known by his nickname, The Hound, Sandor Clegane makes his debut in the first season of Game of Thrones and plays a major role until the end of the series.

In Ridley Scott's 2012 sci-fi film "Prometheus," a group of astronauts travel to a distant planet, guided there by a series of ancient cave paintings discovered on Earth. It seems that tall, godlike aliens visited Earth many thousands of years ago and left a map that humanity would eventually be able to follow back to their homeworld. It might have taken us several millennia to develop long-range space travel, but we eventually have the wherewithal to follow the map.

Of course, when the astronauts arrive, they find strange, brutal things they can't understand. The tall godlike aliens, which they nickname Engineers, are all dead, having been killed by a menagerie of genetically engineered critters of their own making. Some unusual evidence leads the astronauts to believe the Engineers were preparing to travel to Earth with a cargo of killer monsters, hoping to seed our planet with them and kill us all.

House of the Dragon's Lannister twins, played by Jefferson Hall, have unique appearances and personalities. Jefferson Hall portrayed Ser Hugh in Game of Thrones before taking on his dual role in House of the Dragon. Hall's multiple roles are not unprecedented in Game of Thrones, with other actors also playing multiple characters.

House of the Dragon has a new pair of Lannister twins, but the actor who plays them isnt new to the Game of Thrones franchise. Considering Game of Thrones has one of the largest ensemble casts in recent TV history, its unsurprising that some actors from the original series are being shuffled back into new roles for House of the Dragon. However, not only has Jefferson Hall already had one memorable Game of Thrones role, but hes also playing two important figures in the House of the Dragon cast.

Hannah Waddingham credits Game Of Thrones with transforming her career, but she didn’t love everything about filming the epic HBO series.

Waddingham played religious zealot Septa Unella in the Thrones franchise and featured in a torture scene, in which Cersei Lannister, played by Lena Headey, poured wine on her face.

She told The Late Show with Stephen Colbert that they filmed the scene for 10 hours and it was like being “actually waterboarded” in a quest for authenticity.

Waddingham said the scene was “horrific” and, five years on from the final season, she continues to have “chronic claustrophobia” as a result of her experience.

Waddingham said she had discussed the condition with Game of Thrones creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss since filming had wrapped. “Thrones gave me something I wasn’t expecting,” she said.

Pedro Pascal has been acting professionally since the 1990s, but there's no denying he's been exploding in popularity over the last few years. Not only is he the titular star of "The Mandalorian," but he's also Joel Miller on "The Last Of Us," the new Reed Richards in Marvel's reboot of "Fantastic Four," and will also appear in Ridley Scott's highly-anticipated "Gladiator 2." But what makes Pascal such an endearing performer is that he's not limited to just playing huge roles — he also loves popping up into random movies and TV shows to have a little fun. One of the latest examples is in Tricia Cooke and Ethan Coen's "Drive-Away Dolls," where trailers depicted Pedro Pascal as Santos, a mysterious man carrying a briefcase who winds up as a "suave head in a hatbox."

Rebel Moon features two actors who previously played the same Game of Thrones character, showcasing the notable recasting and the different portrayals of the character. The recasting of Daario Naharis in Game of Thrones resulted in a stark physical transformation and a completely different energy and personality from the two actors, which is further emphasized in their roles in Rebel Moon. The casting of Ed Skrein as the main antagonist and Michiel Huisman as one of the primary protagonists in Rebel Moon highlights how different their Game of Thrones character was under each actor.

One of the creepiest monsters in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has been subtly put into the game without alerting players as to how horrendous it actually is. The new and highly-acclaimed Nintendo Switch title has no shortage of scary creatures, especially with the new variations that are derived from Gloom, the harmful oozing substance present across Hyrule – especially in the Depths.

The Zelda series has a reputation for gently adding weird creatures into titles without giving them the survival-horror treatment, despite how terrible their existence is. One of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom’s scariest monsters, for instance, is the Gloom Spawn, also known as Gloom Hands. These hand-like creatures with eyes in their palms are made from Gloom and are directly terrifying. There is, however, a creepier monster in Zelda: Totk that has been hiding in plain sight.

As anyone who's beaten the odds to become a known entity in Hollywood will tell you, there's no such thing as an overnight success. For Chilean-born actor Pedro Pascal, the path to stardom has been a slow and steady rise that started with some fairly memorable television appearances that eventually led to his electric portrayal of the Dornish Prince Oberyn Martell in season 4 of "Game of Thrones." Pascal seemed born for the role of Prince Oberyn, injecting the character with intense passion, sexuality, and a fervor for life, which made it all the more tragic when he met his gruesome fate at the hands of Gregor Clegane aka The Mountain. "Game of Thrones" devotees deeply felt the loss which endeared Pascal even more to a growing legion of fans. 

This year marked a significant shift in Pascal's widespread popularity, placing the actor in rarified air with two hit shows premiering at the exact same time.

Pedro Pascal, our collective internet daddy, might be a little bit too comfortable in his role as a protector.

The actor is currently stealing our hearts as a gruff and traumatized survivalist in HBO's "The Last of Us," where he's reluctantly carting a teenage girl across the country despite the ever-present threat of mushroom zombies intent on tearing them apart. Lucky for us, even if Pascal's Joel doesn't manage to survive until the end of the season, the actor will still be all over our screens in March when "The Mandalorian" returns for season 3. This time his child cargo will be an alien infant by the name of Grogu, and instead of trekking across post-apocalyptic America, he'll be cruising through various galaxies.

Needless to say, this is Pedro Pascal's world and we're just living in it. He's everywhere, all the time, making the world a wonderful place as the...

With House of The Dragon currently airing, it's only fitting that another one of George R.R. Martin's adaptations have leading characters to hold unofficial titles that define them more than any official one could. Lord Corlys Velaryon, for example, is known better by his moniker the "Sea Snake" due to his extensive maritime adventures and his personal ship's namesake.

Game of Thrones introduced a lot of viewers to Martin's knack for nicknames to the point that some would rather refer them to these "nicknames" than their trueborn ones.
