The Season 8 battle that will dwarf all other Game of Thrones dustups is a much more involved affair than previously thought.
The previously reported 55-day, three-location shoot actually took even more time to get on film, Entertainment Weekly magazine reports.
In April, assistant director Jonathan Quinlan posted to social media a thank-you note from the HBO series’ producers. “This is for the Night Dragons,” they wrote to those involved in the epic outdoor shoot. “For enduring 55 straight nights. For enduring the cold, the snow, the rain, the mud, the sheep s–t of Toome and the winds of Magheramorne.” (Toome...

As fans yearn for some fiery dragon action from the eighth and final season of Game of Thrones, spoilers and nuggets of news are bound to come out — like the 55-night shoot for a battle scene that just wrapped.
Producers from the HBO fantasy drama recently wrote a thank you note for a 55-night, three-location shoot for season 8. Jonathan Quinlan, an assistant director for GoT, took a snapshot of the letter from the “Producer Types” and posted it on Instagram (it since has been deleted) with the caption, “Says it all. 55 consecutive nights. 11 weeks. 3 locations. You’ll never again see anything like it.” A screenshot of the note was taken by Watchers on the Wall:
This is for the Night Dragons.
For enduring 55 straight nights. For enduring the cold, the show, the rain, the mud, the sheep sh*t of Toome and the winds of Magheramorne.

Kinda makes Blackwater look quaint in comparison, doesn’t it?

Forget “Battle of the Bastards” and “The Spoils of War,” HBO has just wrapped filming on a Game of Thrones battle sequence that far exceeds anything that’s come before.
A status report uncovered by the Watchers on the Wall (h/t Collider) has confirmed that, after a torturous 55-day shoot in Northern Ireland, the Game of Thrones production team have completed “something that has never been done before.”
For the sake of perspective, a 55-day shoot is twice as long as the time spent on “Battle of the Bastards” and the eye-popping loot train attack of “Spoils of War” that had Drogon swoop down and destroy the Lannister convoy in spectacular fashion. Moreover, this now-deleted Instagram post from Game of Thrones Ad Jonathan Quinlan alludes to Toome and Magheramorne, two locations that double as Winterfell – both the castle and its snow-covered grounds – throughout production.
And as if that wasn’t telling enough,...

When HBO announced last September directors Miguel Sapochnik (“Battle of the Bastards”) and David Nutter (“The Rains of Castamere,” Aka the Red Wedding episode) were returning to film episodes of “Game of Thrones'” final season, fans took it as confirmation the series was planing huge things for its curtain call. Assistant director Jonathan Quinlan has provided further confirmation by revealing that a recent Season 8 battle scene took 55 days to shoot.
