Amazing how much relaxation a photo can give. Felt like life is complete now.

Game of Thrones Season 3 will be filming in 4 countries - Ireland, Iceland, Croatia and Morocco, according to this interview with cinematographer Robert McLachan, who will be joining the TV show this year.

Here are the interesting bits -

McLachlan will soon be heading to Northern Ireland to work on the final two episodes of season three of the popular HBO medieval fantasy series Game of Thrones.

"I just received the schedule for the show and they've got units going in Morocco and Croatia and Ireland, and indoors and outdoors, and logistically I've never seen anything like it. It's incredible," says McLachlan. "It's absolutely gigantic."

Because of the size and scope of the show, Game of Thrones uses about five different DOPs (directors of photography) and five directors working in teams of two, he notes.

McLachlan is scheduled to join the Game of Thrones crew based in Belfast at the end of July and work until early November.

The Wall shots will all be done by the time McLachlan starts, so he doesn't expect to be going to Iceland, but he will be in Croatia and Morocco toward the end of the schedule.

Shooting in four different countries? :clap:

Just goes to show how different this show is from the rest of them all.

HBO has released an announcement detailing some of the season three production parameters. While they do not mention a specific date, early July is named as the beginning of the shoot.

Morocco has been officially confirmed as a location for this season, thus bringing the total number of countries where Game of Thrones is shooting this year to four. The production is returning to Morocco for the first time since the pilot shoot.

The writer line-up has likewise been confirmed and has not changed since last year: David Benioff & D.B. Weiss, Bryan Cogman, George R.R. Martin, and Vanessa Taylor.

The list of directors for the season has also been released: David Benioff & D.B. Weiss, Alex Graves, Michelle MacLaren, Dan Minahan, David Nutter, and Alik Sakharov. David & Dan are stepping into director shoes for the first time, while Minahan, Nutter, and Sakharov are of the old guard. The two new ones in the bunch are Alex Graves and Michelle MacLaren (notably the first female director on the show).
