Kit Harington’s harrowing final Game Of Thrones moment with Emilia Clarke took three ‘exhausting’ weeks to film
‘When you’re shooting the same scene for two weeks and it’s a page and a half, it becomes a long exercise in concentration. You have to remember the energy you’re bringing in, every day, and making sure it’s consistent.‘With a highly emotionally charged scene like that, it’s quite a lot, for everyone – the crew, me, and Emilia. It was tiring. It’s one of the hardest things we filmed.’
While the script might have been building up to that moment, as Jon and Dany became increasingly separated in their views of how to deal with Cersei Lannister and the people of King’s Landing, the moment he realised he’d stab her still came as a shock to Kit.‘I was completely surprised by it even though you can kind of see the path through the season of how it was getting there – and even the previous couple of seasons before that, once you can look back,’ he continued.
Speaking about the crux of the show, be believed it all came down to being a tale about a bunch of dysfunctional families. You know, throw in some magical beasts, dragons and Direwolves and what not, and a whole heap of bloodshed. He said: ‘It was said a long time ago, and I agree with it, that Thrones really is about dysfunctional families. It’s about mothers, brothers and sisters, but it’s also about how far your blood will stretch in your decision-making.
