the security operation of HBO to protect the secrets of “Game of Thrones” has been as strict as that of the new “Star Wars” or the upcoming “Avengers”. The actors were not receiving full scripts, but only their scenes, and not paper as in any production, but in tablets that had to be unlocked by members of the production. Nothing take the libretto to study at the corner bar. The writers came to record entirely false scenes to fool the paparazzi. David Nutter, director of the first episodes of the season, compared the operation with the Gestapo, the secret police of the nazi State.
Emilia Clarke (Daenerys Targaryen) joked during the recording, taking pictures outside the set was forbidden to enter without identification HBO has its reasons to worry about security, since 2017 leaked to a summary of the seventh full season, which made many “spoilers” they knew months in advance. That will not happen in the eighth season – unless that same HBO filter them. More than once the channel has failed in the technical process to send programs to subsidiaries elsewhere in the world. Two of the most important episodes of the series were leaked by errors in the same chain. “The Door”, the chapter of the sixth season Hodor, was accidentally by division HBO Nordic 24 hours before the premiere and, of course, was hacked up to fatigue. A year after the episode “The Spoils of War” (perhaps the best battle of Daenerys ‘ Dragons) was leaked by employees of Star India, a Repeater of HBO – but in this case it was an intentional act and four saboteurs were arrested.
It seems a crime that many have seen this spectacular episode in a low-quality HBO video file promises that each chapter will be a revelation, but more than one month before the premiere already put the leg in a minimum spoiler that still shows that even e best operating safety is impenetrable. HBO Go streaming service shows the duration of the first two chapters of the series, and playing a couple of numbers in the URL the durations of each of 6 episodes which will end in the season, you can see which reveals that the last three will be small film ULAs of up to 80 minutes, and the entire season lasting about 6 hours and 50 minutes – epic just half an hour less than the previous. Durations confirmed by the application are as follows: Chapter 1 – 54 minutes Chapter 2 – 58 minutes Chapter 3 – 60 minutes Chapter 4 – 78 minutes Chapter 5 – 80 minutes Chapter 6 – 80 minutes the end of the seventh season revealed a secret that the s fans had guessed years before until now, the series only had exceeded the 60 minutes rarely, and the longest chapter of the series had been “The Dragon and the Wolf” with 80 minutes. The two final episodes will match that duration, which ensures that, despite the cuts it that feels this season in number of episodes, there will be time enough to tie many loose ends left by “Game of Thrones” over its eight seasons. Let us remember that the images that have been in the first trailers correspond only to the first chapters. The eighth season of “Game of Thrones” premieres April 14 and ends on May 19. If you’re not a day, there is still time to see the 67 previous chapters, but not sleep you that winter is coming.
