Game of Thrones season 7 filming begins in Belfast! 

After a long, dry summer- longer than usual, thanks to 

delayed filming this year– shooting has begun on season 7 on

In the last week or so, sightings of the show’s stars have ramped up, and starting yesterday, multiple reports trickled in that filming was resuming.

Local sources around Titanic Studios (the show’s production home in Belfast) tell us that as of yesterday, cars were being rerouted around the

Today, the regular pink GOT filming sign was spotted as well, for the first time this year:

@WiCnet @IrishThrones YES! 1st film crew sign. 1/2 mile from studio, pointing North (appropriately) pic.twitter.com/k6qo647g9z

One last tidbit for you all today, courtesy of our sources: we’ve heard that some of the Northern Ireland extras lined up are playing House Mormont soldiers, so it looks like the house from Bear Island is still in play in season 7.

OMG!!!!! Sooooo exciting!!! House Mormont in da house!!!

Yessss, here we go! LOL, who knew the appearance of the pink signs could get me so excited.

Hmmm, I wonder which of the extras are slated to be House Mormont soldiers? I wonder if we’ll be returning to Bear Island or if these soldiers will be at Wintefell with their Lady.

I wonder if there are any main cast involved? I think Kit is still in Montreal, so it can’t be him. What about Sophie and Liam? Anybody in Belfast?

Hope this means that we get to see and hear more of the little Bear, Lyanna Mormont.

Finally, the wait is over! How much I would love to live in one of those places where they do the shooting!

Does anyone know: do they leave the sets that were constructed for Castle Black in place all year around?

The account who posted this claim they are working on Bolton shields. I don’t understand why they would need them..

I’d expect to hear reports about Harington soon. Sounds like especially for the interior studio work in Belfast.

Sophie was in London yesterday, and is going to be in Venice this weekend for a film festival, so while she could pop over (it’s obviously not a long trip), it wouldn’t be for long.

I believe Kit ended the filming for his movie today >

Maybe they’re securing the North and taking the Dreadfort. It’s possible Ramsay left some people to look after the place. 😛

Is it specified that the soldiers are filming today? Maybe it’s just preparations (and they’ll film in a couple of days), or they’re shooting some scenes where the main cast isn’t needed yet.

So it’s not Kit who films today, i guess the North will start next week or later. It’s 6 months till february.

I think today’s filming is a KL one becayse Lena and the mountain guy were seen earlier this week in Belfast.

Celine Belanger: After a long, dry summer- longer than usual, thanks to delayed filming this year– shooting has begun on season 7 on Game of Thrones.

Hard to say. Usually if it’s in private property (Winterfell), it’s taken down as soon as shooting wraps. Magheramorne Quarry (Castle Black/Hardhome/Blackwater) usually all stay up because the Quarry is not in use anymore but given that during the S6 production there was a rock slide, they may not wish risk of damage to the set and may take it down from now on and reconstruct.

As a general rule: if it’s in an unused and non-private area, they usually stay up. If in a prominent and private area, no they are taken down.

Edit – wait wtf did I quote, I meant the guy/girl who asked if they take the sets down.

Thanks for letting us know! That’s such a cute picture of the KITN!

yeah it’s possible and it looks like Nikolaj is in Belfast too.

I guess some Bolton soldiers survived the battle and were taken captive. Maybe they are part of the KITN’s army now?

okay so he is done filming? so should be headed to Belfast?

No, it only states that extras playing Mormont soldiers were being lined up, not that they were actually filming. Maybe next week?

Kit’s facial hair in that pic is too short for Jon though, based on what it was at the end of S6.

That is a possibility I don’t want to think about xD

I guess some Bolton soldiers survived the battle and were taken captive. Maybe they are part of the KITN’s army now?

Or he sends them to the Wall. It does need reinforcements after all.

BunBunStark: Or he sends them to the Wall. It does need reinforcements after all.

Wait, I guess if Jon were sending Bolton soldiers to the Wall they wouldn’t need their house shields. Crap, maybe like Cersei’s Bran said, they come under Littlefinger’s control. *gulp*

Maggie: The account who posted this claim they are working on Bolton shields. I don’t understand why they would need them..

Honestly, as much as I love the show, it’s the speculation and little bits of information and anticipation in between seasons that I love most. Once the episodes begin, they’re over so darn fast!

I know some days ago he hung out with Celine Dion lol.

Maybe Jon gets a new and polished look to go with his KITN title. Personally, I hope they update his wardrobe.

I know!! I am literally 1.5 hours away from Montreal. I cant believe he never came to Ottawa for the weekend to explore Canada’s capital! ugh!

Why wouldn’t an out manned and out gunned wall need any supplies or equipment? Would they really turn the shields away just to avoid painting a black “X” over the sigil? Also it was pretty clear that the Bolton army was decimated, I couldn’t imagine Littlefinger risking openly trotting the scraps around with the house sigil and all. He has an entire army of his own that won’t alienate his new allies, how would a few dozen Bolton help him at all?

Will Jorah ever see Bear Island again?? Maybe as a stone man…

YESSS! Lady Mormont in the house. Omg I can’t wait until shiz hits the fan and LF tries to unseat Jon or worm…. and the two sides pitted against each other, has Lyanna on Jon’s side beating everyones azz.

My favorite part of waiting has begun, time for spoilers, speculations, Theories, arguments, Debates, and Awards 😀

He’s wrapping filming in montreal today and will be filming GoT stuff over the weekend.

Great news! For some, the offseason speculation about what’s to come can be

as much fun as the in-season discussion when a new season is airing (Almost 🙂 ). Hopefully a steady tide of news will help the extra long weight for Season 7 feel slightly less onerous.

To that end – last offseason while Season 6 was being filmed, Yaga and I worked to maintain a Google Doc containing all of the production news that the fine folks at Watchers on the Wall provided for us, complete with links to the original articles. It was a success, so I thought we’d try it again this year! There’s little need for it this early, but as more information starts to roll in, hopefully it can serve as a quick and useful reference for fans seeking out specific filming reports, or just a general summary of everything we know about Season 7 so far.

I set up a page for the document in the WOTW forums, which you can access through the toolbar at the top of the page or at the link below.

However, I know that some people have had trouble accessing the forums recently. So here’s the direct link to the document as well. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yDGAHzd0LcV27cwoWUh4bw10ErVs5NOgmJGudC5MGm8/edit?usp=sharing
