Игра на тронове (сериал) - Вижте пояснителната страница за други значения на Игра на тронове. „Игра на тронове“ (на английски: Game of Thrones) е сериал на HBO, който следва историята на фентъзи епос поредицата „Песен за огън и лед“, вземайки името на първата книга, и дебютира на 17 април 2011 г. Снима се основно в Белфаст, Северна Ирландия и на някои места в Европа. Актьорите в сериала са основно англичани или ирландци. Съдържание Сюжет[редактиране | edit source] Действието на сериала се развива в Седемте кралства на Вестерос, където лятото продължава десетилетия, а зимата – цяла вечност. Герои и актьори[редактиране | edit source] Подобно на романите, които адаптира, „Игра на тронове“ разполага с широк ансамблов актьорски състав, който по думите на Джордж Р. Мартин е най-големият в телевизията. По време на продукцията на третия сезон са записани имената на 257 актьори. Следното обобщение ограничава списъка с герои от „Игра на тронове“ до героите, изиграни от актьорите с основни роли. Лорд Едард „Нед“ Старк (Шон Бийн) е глава на фамилията Старк, чиито членове са въвлечени в голяма част от сюжетните линии на сериала. Той и жена му Кейтлин (Мишел Феърли) имат пет деца — най-големия, Роб (Ричард Медън), изисканата Санса (Софи Търнър), палавата Аря (Мейзи Уилямс), авантюристичния Бран (Айзък Хемпстед-Райт) и малкия Рикон (Арт Паркинсън). Повереникът и заложник на Нед – Теон Грейджой (Алфи Алън) живее с тях в Зимен Хребет. Жената на Роб е лечителката Талиса Мейгир (Уна Чаплин), а Аря се сприятелява с чирака-ковач Джендри (Джо Демпзи). Копелето на Нед, Джон Сняг (Кит Харингтън) и близкият му приятел Самуел Тарли (Джон Брадли) служат в Нощния Страж на лорд командир Джеор Мормон (Джеймс Козмо). Червенокосата Игрит (Роуз Лесли) е дивак от групата на Тормунд (Кристофър Хивджу) и е любовен интерес на Джон. Роб е съветван от своя знаменосец Рууз Болтън, чийто копеле е садистичният Рамзи Сняг (Иван Реон). Бриен Тартска (Гуендолин Кристи) влиза на служба при лейди Кейтлин Старк. Старият приятел на Нед крал Робърт Баратеон (Марк Ади) споделя нещастен брак с кралица Церсей Ланистър (Лина Хийди). Напук на баща си, баснословно богатия лорд Тивин Ланистър (Чарлс Данс), Церсей е взела своя брат близнак, „Кралеубиеца“ сър Джайм Ланистър (Николай Костер-Валдау) за свой таен любовник. Тя ненавижда малкия си брат, умното джудже Тирион (Питър Динклидж), който бива съпътстван от любовницата си Шае (Сибел Кекили) и наемника Брон (Джеръм Флин). Големият син на Церсей е принц Джофри Баратеон (Джак Глийсън), който е под закрилата на обезобразения воин Сандор „Хрътката“ Клегейн (Рори Маккан). В „Малкия съвет“ от съветници на краля са хитрецът лорд Петир „Кутрето“ Белиш (Ейдън Гилън) и евнухът шпионин Варис (Конлет Хил). Братът на Робърт, Станис Баратеон (Стивън Дилейн) е съветван от жрицата Мелисандра (Карис ван Хоутън) и бившият контрабандист Сър Давос Държеливия (Лиъм Кънингам). Богатото семейство Тирел е представлявана в двореца чрез амбициозната Марджъри Тирел (Натали Дормър). Отвъд Тясното море братята и сестпра Визерис (Хари Лойд) и Денерис „Дени“ Таргариен (Емилия Кларк) — изпратените в изгнание деца на краля, свален от Робърт Баратеон — бягат за живота си, опитвайки се да си върнат трона. Денерис е омъжена за хал Дрого (Джейсън Момоа), главатар на номадите Дотраки, и се охранява от рицаря в изгнание Джора Мормон (Иън Глен). Продукция[редактиране | edit source] Концепция и развитие[редактиране | edit source] Сериалът започва развитие през януари 2007 г. HBO назначава Дейвид Бениоф и Ди Би Уайс като сценаристи и изпълнителни продуценти на сериала, който ще покрие материал от една книга на сезон, след като закупуват правата върху поредицата на Джордж Р. Мартин. В началото е планирано Бениоф и Вайс да пишат всеки епизод в сериала, освен един на всеки сезон, който да напише автора на книгите. По-късно Джейн Есперсън и Брайън Когман се присъединяват към екипа на сценаристи. Бюджетът на „Игра на тронове“ се сравнява с този на „Рим“. Пилотният епизод е струвал между 5 и 10 милиона долара, а целият бюджет за първи сезон от 10 епизода е около 50-60 милиона. За сравнение, един средностатистически сериал с сезон от 22 епизода, струва 50 милиона долара. HBO наемат експерта по езици Дейвид Дж. Питърсън да създаде езика на Дотраките - "със свое собствено звучене, обширна лексика от повече от 1800 думи и сложна граматика". Първата и втората чернова на сценария за пилотния епизод се предлагат съответно през август 2007 г. и юни 2008 г. И въпреки че и двата сценария са се харесали на канала, пилотен епизод е поръчан едва през ноември 2008 г., след като стачката на сценаристите през 2007-2008 г. забавя процеса. Снимки[редактиране | edit source] Първият сезон започва снимки на 26 юли 2010 г. в Северна Ирландия, по-късно в Малта и Шотландия. През втория сезон снимките се местят в Дубровник, Хърватия, вместо в Ирландия и екипът снима и в Исландия. Въпреки сцените в Хърватия, се снимат отново други сцени в Ирландия.

Game of Thrones (season 3) The third season of the fantasy drama television series Game of Thrones premiered in the United States on HBO on March 31, 2013, and concluded on June 9, 2013, consisting of 10 episodes.[4] HBO renewed the series for a third season on April 10, 2012, nine days after the second season's premiere. Production began in July 2012.[5] Like the other seasons, the third season consists of ten episodes. It is based roughly on the first half of A Storm of Swords (the third of the A Song of Ice and Fire novels by George R. R. Martin, of which the series is an adaptation).[6] Contents Plot[edit] The third season primarily centers on the Lannisters in King's Landing. After defeating Stannis Baratheon at the Battle of the Blackwater, they hold a firm grasp on the Iron Throne They are threatened by their new ally House Tyrell, powerful and manipulative players of the game. Tyrion Lannister struggles with losing the power he had as Hand of the King, and feels his father doesn't appreciate the service he provided the family as Hand. Meanwhile, Jaime Lannister continues his attempt to return home, and begins to form a bond with his road companion, Brienne of Tarth. The Starks find themselves losing the War. They have lost the support of Lord Walder Frey, after Robb Stark broke his vow to him by marrying Talisa Maegyr, and many members of Robb's army are losing faith in him. His relationship with his mother has also turned icy after her freeing of Jaime Lannister, though the reported deaths of her father and the younger Stark boys brings them closer. In reality, Bran and Rickon Stark are alive and continuing their journey north, with new strange allies in the Reed siblings. It was Theon Greyjoy who faked the Stark boys' deaths, and is now being physically tortured under an unknown person's command. However, a mysterious boy claiming to be sent by his sister plans to aid his escape. Arya Stark, on her journey home with companions Gendry and Hot Pie, finds herself entangled with The Brotherhood without Banners and Sandor "The Hound" Clegane. Sansa Stark remains in King's Landing a prisoner of the Lannisters, but is now being offered help by both the treacherous Petyr Baelish and the Tyrells. At Dragonstone, Stannis Baratheon appears a broken man after being crushed at the Battle of the Blackwater. His advisor Ser Davos is imprisoned after attempting to kill Melisandre, who still believes her god, the Lord of Light, will help Stannis return to prominence. Beyond the Wall, Jon Snow joins Mance Rayder's wildling army, but with hidden intentions. His vows are tested more than ever by a growing romance with wildling Ygritte, as he finds that he will have to choose between her and the Night's Watch. The latter has been largely decimated by a White Walker attack, and a group of them is making their way back to the Wall. However, many of the rangers find themselves also questioning their vows, putting Lord Commander Mormont's and Samwell Tarly's lives in danger. Across the Narrow sea in Astapor, Daenerys Targaryen continues her quest to reclaim the seven kingdoms. She has a new companion in former King's Guard member Barristan Selmy, and is still advised by Jorah Mormont. She contemplates buying the Unsullied, an elite army of harshly trained eunuchs. They are controlled by a cruel master with an intelligent young translator, Missandei. Production[edit] Game of Thrones rapidly became a critical and commercial success after it started airing in April 2011. A few days after ratings for the second season's premiere, "The North Remembers", hit a series high of 8.3 million viewers,[7] HBO announced the show's renewal for a third season. Prior to that announcement, there had been rumors and reports[8] that showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss planned to shoot seasons three and four simultaneously. Benioff said that this would be very efficient, but impossible to write.[9] The ten episodes of the third season are longer than the previous seasons', about 54 or 57 minutes as opposed to about 52.[10] The season's budget was reported to be around 50 million U.S. dollars.[11] Writing[edit] The third season is based on the first half of the novel A Storm of Swords. Benioff had previously said that A Storm of Swords would need to be adapted in two seasons on account of its length.[12] Benioff and Weiss also noted that they thought of Game of Thrones as an adaptation of the novel series as a whole, rather than of individual books, which gave them the liberty to move scenes back and forth across books according to the requirements of the screen adaptation.[9] According to Benioff, the third season contains a particularly memorable scene from A Storm of Swords, the prospect of filming which was part of their motivation to adapt the novels for television in the first place.[9] The writing credits for the third season now state "Written for television by", instead of the usual "Written by" credit. Season 3 saw the first significant use of the Valyrian languages, spoken in doomed Valyria and its former colonies in Essos. The constructed languages were developed by linguist David J. Peterson based on the few words Martin invented for the novels.[13] Peterson had previously developed the Dothraki language, used principally in season 1. Casting[edit] The third season adds previously recurring actors Oona Chaplin (Talisa Maegyr), Joe Dempsie (Gendry) and Rose Leslie (Ygritte) to the series' main cast. After an absence of one season David Bradley returns as Walder Frey, Ian McElhinney as Barristan Selmy, Peter Vaughan as Maester Aemon, Josef Altin as Pypar and Luke McEwan as Rast. Crew[edit] David Benioff and D. B. Weiss serve as main writers and showrunners for the third season. They co-wrote seven out of ten episodes. The remaining three episodes were written by Bryan Cogman, Vanessa Taylor, and the author of A Song of Ice and Fire, George R. R. Martin. Daniel Minahan, Alex Graves, Michelle MacLaren, and David Nutter each directed two episodes. One further episode was directed by previous series cinematographer, Alik Sakharov, whereas another was co-directed by Benioff and Weiss, both making their directorial debuts, although only Benioff is credited for directing the episode. Filming[edit] The filming of the third season began in early July 2012,[5] and concluded with the wrap of the unit filming in Iceland on November 24, 2012.[14] Filming in Iceland, for scenes in five of the season's ten episodes, took place near Akureyri and Lake Mývatn. It lasted eight days, as opposed to nearly a month for season 2.[15] Kit Harington (Jon Snow) broke an ankle in an accident in July, which required the Iceland shoots to be pushed back to give him time to heal, as well as the occasional use of a body double.[16] The production was again based in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and continued to receive support from the Northern Ireland Screen fund.[17] The production also returned to Dubrovnik in Croatia. Morocco, a new location,[5] was used to film Daenerys' scenes in Essos such as the city of Astapor, for which locations in Essaouira were used. A scene involving a live bear was filmed in Los Angeles.[18] Music[edit] The U.S. indie rock band The Hold Steady recorded "The Bear and the Maiden Fair", a ribald folk song from Martin's novels.
