New Game of Thrones season 5 filming details about Dubrovnik and casting 

After spending some time on Northern Irish beaches, shooting for 

season 5 will soon begin in Croatia. According to

, public casting for extras will take place in Dubrovnik on August 7th.

Filming in Dubrovnik will take place from late September to mid-October.

A fan shared his chance meeting with Night’s Watch actors Kit Harington, John Bradley, Ben Crompton and Owen Teale on Instagram.  This all but confirms that Owen Teale will indeed be returning as Alliser Thorne.

Also, a very specific casting call has gone out for a trained, bearded blacksmith. The man in question will be filming on August 18th and 19th.

And lastly, it looks like Carice van Houten is done filming for the moment. Is this it for the season or will she be back for more shooting this year?

Cian: This is a lot to take in at once. The Walk will presumably be filmed in Dubrovnik during the stated time. Also, the blacksmith casting call is oddly specific. It’s a wonder they didn’t just throw a wig on Tommy Dunne and use him again.

Gotta remind myself to visit Croatia sometime, that place looks gorgeous.

Hopefully we’ll get some juicy set pics soon to give us a few hints.

hmmmMM it really does seem like Carice is done. weird, but i’m not surprised

I can definitely see Alliser Thorne taking on more of a Bowen Marsh-esque role as the series goes forward, especially after his begrudging acceptance of Jon’s tactics during The Watchers on the Wall (hey, that’s us).

interesting, i wonder what the blacksmiths for. IMO theirs no need to have Noye now that his epic scene has past. I also don’t recall any other specialty swords/armour going forward.

Do you guys really think Carice is done with Season 5? I mean, this year she probably has more scenes than all the other years, i doubt she shot everything she needed in less than a week.

All these news are great! Oh, and I can’t wait until more pictures of shooting show up, specially when they start filming in Spain.

I really don’t get this rumor that Carice is done filming for the season (unless there is more info than that tweet). Carice flying in for a bit of filming and then flying back (multiple times during filming) has been this way from season 2. So unless someone has more info than I’ve seen this is normal.

Yeah, I’m pretty sure that’s the case, too. Waiting for the “Amsterdam > Westeros” tweet!

I agree. She is almost to a 100% not done filming, she is just back in Amsterdam for a bit.
