Following last season's brutally violent Red Wedding, HBO's Game of Thrones will present another

colorful ? and potentially tragic ? marriage ceremony when Season 4 premieres in spring 2014.

"It's going to be the wedding of the year, and as memorable in its own way as our wedding last season," promises the books' author, George R.R. Martin, of the marriage of King Joffrey Baratheon (Jack Gleeson) and Margaery Tyrell (Natalie Dormer). "It's what the fans call the Purple Wedding, based on the color of the wine, which plays a big part."

Martin says the wedding scenes "look spectacular. The bride's dress incorporates roses, there are 77 courses at the dinner feast, and there's some wonderful halftime entertainment."

He's sharing passages from another side project, a 250,000-word complete history of Westeros. It's similar to what J.R.R. Tolkien did with the Silmarillion, so he's been calling it the "GRRMarillion."

"And when will the GRRMarillion come out? I don't know," he says. "I'm not working on it anymore; I've put all that aside while I try to finish Winds of Winter."

The Winds of Winter is due ? as of now ? to come out next year. There's supposed to be at least one more book after that.

 

I wouldn't trust the reporter alone, but the first bit is GRRM's words. Full article here.

 

Btw, he seemed to have received death threats after the RW episode, wtf? Some people are really messed up.

Surely people who read ASOIAF have come to accept that there is going to be a wait between books.

I'd much rather that he took his time, if we have to wait another decade for two more books (or however many is necessary) then so be it.

Well I image he'll be getting accolades from the next few seasons, what with

all the wine that gets drunk, the crossbow and the walk of shame

I'm not complaining myself as I just finished the books last year, but as the article states, the issue is that the show is soon going to catch up with the books (for instance

Bran

only has a few chapters left. The issue with The Winds of Winter coming out later than 2014 is that it means that the last one will probably take just as long, which means the show will run past the books, which would be kinda sucky.

I've accepted now its not going to happen. Given his track record, the TV series is going to overtake the books. They've been told a rough outline by GRRM, so it will be interesting to see where they take it.

It will be more interesting to see how they fix their mistakes from last season

:D

 

Regarding the second thing, it wasn't really a mistake, their hands were tied because they decided to split the book to two seasons.

 

Otherwise,

 

What else would Jaime and Brienne do for about half a season? They'd literally be gone after S03E08 to who knows how far into season 4. My theory on how they'll fix screwing up the timeline, especially with Brienne being there while Sansa is still in King's Landing: Jaime and Brienne plot to release Sansa. At the same time Sansa plots her escape with Dontos (the actor was seen on set btw). Given that they already had Littlefinger scheme taking Sansa away in season 3, the audience would believe Dontos works for Jaime and Brienne. Cue shocking reveal.

I actually listened to the audiobook and read them at the same time (when possible) and I'm worried the narrator, Roy Dotrice, will either be dead or unable to make the rest of the audiobooks. He's 90 and he already mixed/changed some of the voices in the last two books. He played Hallyne on the show.

I'm sure fans will recall the 3-eyed raven (crow in the books) from Bran Stark's visions in a couple of episodes of the show, and those that read the source novels will be even more familiar with him. Well now he's actually been given a voice (and maybe more?) for the fourth season.
According to his agency resume, British actor Struan Rodger has been cast in the role of "the Three-Eyed Raven."
This character manifests in Bran's visions after he's left crippled by his fall in the very first episode, and seems to hold to key to him realizing his destiny. Whether Rodger will only provide the voice of the bird, or actually play the raven as a human is unknown. Rodger is a familiar face in British film and television, with roles in the likes of The Thick Of It, Law and Order UK and Doctor Who.

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes by Taras Buria Recently, Forza Horizon 6 players discovered an interesting glitch that allowed farming a crazy amount of in-game credits in a few minutes. Playground Games quickly pulled the plug on the exploit by disabling one of the game's online modes, and today, the studio is rolling out another hotfix. In my review, I complained about the game still showering gamers with cars, credits, and wheelspins. As such, earning money in Forza Horizon 6 is not a particularly difficult task. You simply have to play the game, crazy, I know. However, people still found an easier path to becoming a billionaire in Forza Horizon 6. All you had to do was purchase the Hummer EV, install a specific tune, shift in reverse while going at about 15 MPH, hit a wall, and get launched into the stratosphere at the speed of light. While mid-air, launch Eliminator and quickly get eliminated. Boom, the game just awarded you with a few million in-game credits. Initially, Playground Games disabled Eliminator to prevent people from farming credits. Now, following the release of the first balancing update, developers are rolling out a new update that re-enables Eliminator and gives users a free McLaren Sabre as a gesture of goodwill. Here is the changelog: One critical issue remains unpatched, though. There are quite a few reports of the game wiping gamers' saves, and developers are still looking into that. To avoid potential data loss, Playground Games recommends taking one of the steps outlined in a previously published support article.
