While pictures out of Seville remain scarce, except for what breathless fans can get via hotel entrances and exits, over two stops down the Game of Thrones Season 7 Filming Tour of Spain in Malpartida de Caceres, extras continue to whisper like little birds about their experiences.
Last we heard, the 400 or so lucky men who has been chosen from the thousands of hopefuls were being asked to try on Lannister armor, suggesting that at least part of the battle that will be filmed there will involve Cersei’s army. Now, while the Lannister twin actors hang in Seville between takes, and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau mugs for every fan who asks, said army is being readied.
Yesterday we posted a couple of images of the Lannister armor on racks upon racks. Today we’re hearing via ABCSeville, that the extras who will be wearing said armor are now undergoing training on how to function in it.
Los extras de la serie Juego de Tronos, que participarán en el rodaje que se llevará a cabo en el municipio extremeño de Malpartida de Cáceres, recibirán instrucción por parte de militares estadounidense para poder aguantar el peso de 25 kilos de los trajes que portarán cuando participen en la gran batalla que se rodará en este entorno.
Roughly translated!
Extras in the series “Game of Thrones” , who will participate in the upcoming filming in the border area of Malpartida de Caceres, are receiving instruction from former US military types to handle the weight of 25 kilo costumes that will have to wear when they take part in the enormous battle to be shot in the area.
Twenty-five kilograms, for Americans who don’t metric, is the equivalent to 55 pounds. No wonder one of the main qualifications for being part of this scene as an extra was to have previous military training (where basic forces one to learn to function with that kind of weight on your back) and to be very physically fit. reportedly the ad hoc training camp 9which extras are calling “base camp” is the size of a football field. All this, and the show won’t even be filming there for another two weeks. Before that they’ll be stopping at the Castillo de Almodóvar where they’ll be filming from November 4th-16th.
