Lot's of interesting stuff about the making of season 2 on that site. Also, they are going to have the season 2 promo up in a day or so. It's airing tonight on HBO before Board Walk Empire.

It looks good but I wish we got a scene

[Juliajms]

Me too, but I bet this season has been a bitch to film and edit in the amount of time they have. I'm guessing they won't have an actual promo ready until "Luck" premiers at the end of January. Notice the actress who played Queen Anne on The Tudors was in a shot.

Yes, I'm excited she's joined the show. I'm starting to have a hard time waiting till April for this. (but for some reason the video won't play here, on ent weekly's link or the HBO website--must be a Canada thing, boo.)

[Juliajms]

Grr. That sucks. If it's any consolation the video is not earth shaking. It's not a proper promo. Just some production shots and the directors talking about how the "world" of the show is expanding and how they filmed in many different locations. That there are lots of new characters and they were worried people couldn't keep up with the complexity, but they have. That sort of thing.

The thing I like about that video is that you can tell the actors aren't "on" during some of the shots.

There are a couple of nice shots of Jon Snow in case anyone in this thread is a fan of his.

I sure as hell am! I'll be sure to watch when I get home from work.

Looks like HBO might film seasons 3 and 4 at one time.

Aw, I miss my beautiful Jon Snow. HBO is making the right decision filming back to back.

April? Eh, I cannot get excited over that promo when the show that is not starting for four months.

[Juliajms]

I can, but I'm a huge geek. I only wish that the person who wrote the letter had mentioned their name. That would have made the promo more chilling somehow. I know who it is, of course, but it needed to be said in the promo.

An in production video showing some of the Belfast locations. Looks amazing.
