When information broke final week that Warner Bros. is growing a film detailing the origin story of Batman nemesis The Joker, many had been shocked to see the identify Martin Scorsese listed among the many producers.In any case, why would the 74-year outdated auteur filmmaker behind the whole lot from Taxi Driver to Silence be considering making the form of studio franchise fare he has prevented all through his profession? And why would Warners executives, as model managers of the prolonged DC Comics cinematic universe, need a legendarily controlling and free-spending expertise concerned in its marquee property?The reply includes a plan worthy of The Joker himself. Sources say Warners will make an formidable try to make use of Scorsese to carry Leonardo DiCaprio into the world of comic-book motion pictures. Definitely, Scorsese’s involvement inThe Joker movie, which The Hangover filmmaker Todd Phillips would direct, may elevate and diversify the studio's contributions to the style, creating the potential to make awards-worthy movies equivalent to Christopher Nolan's The Darkish Knight trilogy.There isn't any provide for DiCaprio, and sources say Scorsese's deal to provide is not even carried out but. The possibilities of touchdown DiCaprio could possibly be slim to none. However the try in itself sends a sign to expertise that Warners desires to rent critical filmmakers to make critical movies.This plan was not met with applause in all quarters: Insiders say Jared Leto, the actor who portrayed the Clown Prince of Crime in final summer season's Suicide Squad and is slated to reprise the character not only for a sequel however for one other spinoff film (with DC villainess Harley Quinn), was caught off-guard by the plans. Leto is alleged to have made his displeasure with the notion of a number of Jokers identified to his CAA brokers, and rival company WME has been utilizing the priority to court docket him.Warner Bros. launched its DC Prolonged Universe to compete with Marvel Studios with 2013’s Man of Metal.

The plan is to launch a separate label for these initiatives to differentiate them from the remainder of the DC movies. (Warners executives are conscious about the dangers of viewers confusion.)For Joker, which could possibly be the preliminary entry for the label, sources say the studio and Phillips would need DiCaprio or one other A-lister to play the character as a gritty crime boss in a Scorsese-esque Gotham underworld.DiCaprio, 42, has develop into essentially the most in-demand actor in Hollywood regardless of refusing to star in conventional franchise photos. As an alternative, he has restricted his collaborators to A-list administrators of (usually) authentic screenplays, together with James Cameron (Titanic), Christopher Nolan (Inception) and Alejandro G. Inarritu (The Revenant, for which he received his Oscar).However his most frequent collaborator has been Scorsese. The duo has made 5 profitable movies collectively over twenty years: The Aviator, Gangs of New York, The Departed, Shutter Island and The Wolf of Wall Avenue.One conduit between Phillips and Scorsese/DiCaprio is actor Jonah Hill, who starred in Phillips’ Struggle Canine however labored with DiCaprio in Scorsese’s Wolf of Wall Avenue.Reps for Warner Bros, DiCaprio, Leto and Scorsese declined to remark.Leonardo DiCaprioMartin ScorseseLet's block advertisements!

'Lord of the Flies': Has Hollywood's Gender-Bending Trend Jumped the Shark?
An all-female movie adaptation by two males, Scott McGehee and David Siegel, was met with early backlash. Regardless of having few particulars identified about the mission, rapid criticism met the information that Warner Bros. is creating an all-female adaptation of Lord of the Flies, William Golding's 1954 novel. The priority lay in the indisputable fact that the mission can be written and directed by two males, Scott McGehee and David Siegel, who've stated the film can be a devoted adaptation of the novel, a few group of boys stranded on an island after a aircraft crash.Lord of the Flies is a ebook about poisonous masculinity and what occurs when that's left unchecked, even at a younger age. It may show troublesome, if not unimaginable, to be each devoted to the supply materials and likewise to the psychology of the younger ladies the movie can be about — significantly with out the enter of feminine inventive expertise at the prime ranges of the mission.“You aren’t even tapping the expertise pool that may assist you to obtain market success,” contends Dr. Stacy Smith, who works on USC’s Media, Range and Social Change Initiative. The college's most latest research discovered that simply 34 out of the 900 top-grossing movies from 2007 to 2016 have been directed by ladies.Of the movies at present in manufacturing at Warner Bros., none are being directed by ladies, although the studio delivered one of the greatest field workplace successes of 2017 with Marvel Girl, which has earned greater than $800 million, and had Patty Jenkins at the helm of the female-driven movie starring Gal Gadot as the Amazon princess Diana. Observers of Marvel Girl's success word that the movie probably rang true as a result of of the feminine voices in the combine in the inventive course of.“One of the causes the latest Marvel Girl movie labored so properly was as a result of Diana was not only a male character dressed up in ladies's clothes,” says Dr. Martha Lauzen, the government director at SDSU’s Heart for the Research of Ladies in Tv and Movie, which is answerable for the annual Celluloid Ceiling report.Solely 31.four p.c of talking roles in the prime 100 grossing films in 2016 have been ladies, in keeping with Smith's research. With such little onscreen illustration, a query that is being raised about the all-female Lord of the Flies is whether or not or not the trade and audiences ought to welcome any female-fronted studio film, regardless of who's behind the digicam. "That actually complicates issues since you don’t need to say on this trade that males can’t make tales about ladies," says Kirsten Schaffer, the government director of Ladies In Movie.Lord of the Flies is simply the newest in a development of Hollywood gender-bending — and plenty of of the initiatives have ladies in prime roles. There's a Splash remake (from screenwriter Marja-Lewis Ryan), the place Jillian Bell will play the Tom Hanks position and Channing Tatum can have the tail as a merman, and a Soiled Rotten Scoundrels redo, titled Nasty Ladies (additionally written by a girl, screenwriter Jac Schaeffer). There’s a role-swapping Overboard in manufacturing with Anna Farris and a Rocketeer film in growth with the protagonist being re-imagined as a younger African-American woman. And, of course, there may be that all-female Ocean’s Eleven spinoff, Ocean’s Eight, that has produced set pictures with Rihanna, Cate Blanchett and Sarah Paulson in a spread of fall outerwear.In a post-Marvel Girl Hollywood, having feminine tales might not be sufficient. It's a matter of who's telling these tales. “It’s a query of what's driving the urge for food to place ladies in entrance of the digicam. Is it only a enterprise alternative?” asks Dr. Katherine Pieper, a colleague of Smith’s. “Do the individuals greenlighting these tales need an genuine feminine illustration of these characters? In the event that they do, then I believe we'd see ladies telling these tales.” Schaffer’s hope is that girls screenwriters will see this as a possibility to pitch their very own gender-bending remakes of traditional literature of their very own. (Annie Clark, as generally known as the musician St. Vincent, is connected to direct a film adaptation of The Portrait of Dorian Gray for Lionsgate, the place the protagonist will likely be a girl.)Whereas each Lauzen and Smith's analysis has proven that movies with feminine administrators have increased numbers of ladies producers, cinematographers, editors and different ladies in below-the-line roles, all say that the potential Lord of the Flies manufacturing ought to look to rent ladies in key gate preserving roles. "Or tackle a feminine mentee or an apprentice," affords Schaffer. "A lady who has directed function however not at this price range degree, as a manner to assist ladies rise.”Let's block adverts!

No, Steven Soderbergh's 'Logan Fortunate' Didn't Change the Film Business
In current weeks, the filmmaker has carried out a flurry of interviews saying he needs to buck the conventional Hollywood mannequin for releasing films.
Steven Soderbergh made headlines in 2011 when declaring he was retiring from filmmaking after an enviable two-decade run that started along with his first characteristic, Intercourse, Lies and Videotape (1989), which helped spark the indie movie revolution of the 1990s and in flip made Soderbergh the darling of the mainstream Hollywood studio system.His "retirement" did not final lengthy. Soderbergh, who has directed such studio blockbusters as Erin Brockovich and the Ocean's 11 franchise, is now again in the trenches with Logan Fortunate, a star-studded heist movie starring Channing Tatum, Adam Driver and Daniel Craig that he made independently with the particular intention of controlling how the film was each marketed and launched.In the weeks main up the movie's opening over this previous weekend, Soderbergh made in clear in a number of interviews that needed Logan Fortunate to problem the system. However on Sunday, Soderbergh and his reps have been largely silent as the film debuted to a disappointing $eight.1 million from three,301 theaters in North America — not the kind of revolution they have been on the lookout for. In an e mail to the New York Instances, Soderbergh mentioned that the outcomes have been "actually irritating" however he nonetheless hopes to vary the methods films are distributed.Critics applauded Soderbergh's movie, however Logan Fortunate, regardless of a 93 p.c recent score on Rotten Tomatoes, was handily overwhelmed by Lionsgate's The Hitman's Bodyguard, a run-of-the-mill style motion comedy starring Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson, which arrived in the prime spot with a home weekend gross of $21.6 million. Extra problematic, Logan Fortunate earned a mediocre B CinemaScore from audiences, which may curb word-of-mouth.Logan Fortunate follows two brothers (Tatum and Driver) as they try to drag off a heist throughout a NASCAR race in Charlotte, North Carolina. Riley Keough, Seth MacFarlane, Katie Holmes and Hilary Swank additionally star.Whereas the film over-indexed in Charlotte and different NASCAR-centric markets, it nonetheless did minimal enterprise in Center America. (Over the previous two years, NASCAR has seen a steep attendance and rankings decline.) As an alternative, seven of Logan Fortunate's prime 10 theaters have been concentrated in Los Angeles, the place Soderbergh is one thing akin to a nationwide treasure. The highest-grossing theater was the ArcLight Hollywood, adopted by the Landmark.Soderbergh is claimed to have relied totally on international presales to finance Logan Fortunate. He then went about elevating $20 million in advertising and marketing funds. That is a fraction of what a serious Hollywood studio would spend to trumpet a summer season launch, however Soderbergh contended that Hollywood historically spends an excessive amount of to market films. He took a focused strategy, ready till the eleventh hour to unleash most of the tv advertisements and concentrating outside billboards in the Midwest and South. He additionally did not check the trailers. Soderbergh will use the similar strategy when releasing his subsequent movie, Unsane, which he shot secretly in June utilizing an iPhone. It stars Claire Foy and Jay Pharoah."Change is tough, particularly for the movie trade, which at instances appears constructed on archaic fashions. That mentioned, distribution is a channel, navigated by slick gross sales forces and advertising and marketing groups that pigeonhole studio movies with precision accuracy, and have carried out so for many years upon many years, promoting movies to shoppers whether or not they need them or not," mentioned box-office analyst Jeff Bock of Exhibitor Relations."What we have seen over the course of Soderbergh's profession is that he actually can work inside the studio confines if he chooses to take action, however as a rule has his personal sensibilities concerning the sort of movie he needs to spend his livelihood making. And people varieties of movies, like Logan Fortunate, are notoriously tough to promote to mainstream audiences," Bock continued.The director's final movie, Facet Results, was likewise launched independently by Open Highway Movies, though Soderbergh did not management the advertising and marketing. Facet Results opened to $9.three million in February 2013.This trip, Soderbergh's new firm, Fingerprint Releasing, employed Bleecker Avenue to distribute Logan Fortunate in the U.S. He additionally relied on the recommendation of distribution guru Dan Fellman, who labored for years at Warner Bros., which made lots of Soderbergh's movies. One factor moving into Logan Fortunate's favor is that the subsequent two weekends are devoid of plenty of new product, though that might profit Hitman's Bodyguard as nicely."Although really markedly totally different in virtually each respect, Hitman's Bodyguard and Logan Fortunate have been perceived amongst potential moviegoers to be related sufficient — i.e., motion films with comedic parts — that audiences have been compelled to choose," mentioned comScore's Paul Dergarabedian.

'The Defenders': Charlie Cox on What's Next For Daredevil
The Satan of Hell's Kitchen is useless — or so the world thinks.Within the remaining episode of Marvel's The Defenders, the very first hero featured in Netflix's nook of the Marvel Cinematic Universe ended issues in a dire scenario: trapped beneath an exploding constructing, virtually definitely consumed within the rubble. The individuals who know Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) greatest consider him useless, together with Karen Web page (Deborah Ann Woll) and Foggy Nelson (Elden Henson), in addition to the hero's three latest associates: Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter), Luke Cage (Mike Colter) and Danny Rand (Finn Jones). Certainly, in that final particular person's case, Rand stands poised to honor his fallen buddy by defending Hell's Kitchen in Daredevil's absence.However Daredevil will solely be absent for therefore lengthy. Within the remaining scene of The Defenders, we see that Matt could be very a lot nonetheless alive, albeit in tough bodily situation, recovering in an unknown location the place he is being tended by nuns. It is a picture that is acquainted to followers of the Daredevil comics (as identified by Decider), and one which's positive to gas the character's subsequent steps ahead within the Marvel-Netflix Universe.For extra on the matter, Charlie Cox spoke with The Hollywood Reporter about Daredevil's destiny, what's coming subsequent, Matt's emotional journey through Elektra (Elodie Yung) this season, his view of The Defenders now that it is out within the wild, and extra.What was your response if you realized that this collection would finish with Matt presumed useless, however secretly alive someplace?I used to be relieved! It was made simpler to learn that, figuring out we've a season three of Daredevil to shoot. (Laughs.) If that hadn't been the case, I'd have been fearful that it was throughout for Matt Murdock. Being because it was, I believed it was very enjoyable. It was a really fascinating approach to finish it. It is type of a cliffhanger, and type of not. I do not know what it means for season three, going ahead for Matt. It clearly presents him with some fairly fascinating choices when he reengages with life. Will he reconnect with folks? Will he discover Foggy and let him know he is okay? Will he not? I am very excited to seek out out what his recreation plan goes to be, as soon as he will get his shit collectively.What's your feeling on how that may play out? Matt has been craving a recent begin for some time, and even begins The Defenders away from the function of Daredevil. What does a clear slate like this imply for a person like Matt Murdock?I truthfully don't know. At any time when I believe I do know the place one thing's going or what one thing's going to imply, I am typically utterly flawed and stunned by the scripts after I learn them. I virtually desire to not speculate. God is aware of. I might see it going many alternative methods for him. As you talked about, he is been battling who he's, or no less than this facet of himself, being Daredevil and interesting in vigilante justice on a daily foundation. I am unable to personally see a world the place he'll ever rid himself of that, regardless of the makes an attempt to hold up the horns, because it have been. Sooner or later, one among two issues goes to occur: both he will embrace it in a approach he by no means has earlier than, or he will proceed to battle it. However in some unspecified time in the future, "it" will most likely win over.The ending mirrors a scene from Daredevil: Born Once more, a well-liked arc from the comics. Would you be excited for Born Once more to supply the story blueprints for season three of Daredevil?For positive. That is such an incredible story. Everybody who loves Daredevil loves Born Once more. You possibly can't not. And if that is the case, then the implications of that will be very thrilling to me. That may be nice. Having stated that, I do know we do not are inclined to comply with any story blueprints too carefully, as a result of in the event you do, then you definately turn into a foregone conclusion. There could also be components from Born Once more, however I am positive there can be components which are unfamiliar and shocking and totally different to ensure that the present to be compelling to followers who know the comics very effectively. If we begin making Born Once more page-for-page, then the individuals who have learn it and beloved it — the hardcore followers — they will not have an excessive amount of drama.The final time he sees the Defenders, Matt pulls a Misplaced in Translation and whispers a secret in Danny Rand's ear. We later study he was asking Danny to guard town. Within the comics, Danny takes on the Daredevil mantle for a short time. Are you snug with Finn Jones working round because the Satan of Hell's Kitchen if Matt wants a while on the mend?Yeah, I like that man. I beloved that second. We had lots of enjoyable on the day, making an attempt to make up all types of silly stuff. (Laughs.) I keep in mind making an attempt to say issues , as a result of clearly he has to maintain a really straight face. I inform him one thing and the viewers at that time would not know what it's. He takes it very significantly. I am after all saying these very silly, mundane and foolish issues in his ear and making an attempt to make him crack a smile."You full me!"Precisely. (Laughs.) "Is it raining? I hadn't observed!" Yeah, man. I like that stuff. And there are a number of characters who costume up as DD at sure factors within the comics. Peter Parker is one other one. I believe one of many good relationships in The Defenders is the Matt and Danny relationship. Danny appears as much as Matt a little bit bit, as a wise older brother who has been doing this for lots longer. On the identical time, there is a mutual respect. Matt could be very impressed with Danny's preventing strategies, and his expertise, and his type. That friendship, there's positively lots of room for it to develop. I beloved working with Finn. We had a good time. He is a real skilled. If he is concerned someway additional on, carrying the Daredevil swimsuit? Yeah, for positive. A lot of Matt's story this season includes Elektra, and preventing to deliver her again from the darkness. In the long run, they seemingly die collectively — as a minimum, Matt's keen to go that far for Elektra. Do you suppose he was profitable in his try to redeem her? I do not know. My feeling is that he was deluded in that space. It was clear to everybody else — even Stick (Scott Glenn) — that whoever she might have been prior to now, and no matter type of particular person she might have been, she's not simply had a change of character, she's been introduced again from the useless and become one thing totally different. She's virtually now not human. The primary time she walks into the room, Matt cannot even establish her heartbeat as a human's heartbeat. He refers to her as "one thing else."When Matt figures out that whoever this was is within the vessel of Elektra, he is so drawn to the prospect of it being her, not simply because he beloved her, but in addition as a result of it could have relieved an incredible quantity of guilt and disgrace over what occurred to her. He permits himself to consider. He deludes himself into believing she will someway be refound, or he can get by way of to her, and the Elektra he knew and beloved could be there once more. For me, that turns into increasingly more ridiculous because the episodes carry on, but it surely's perception into the pinnacle house he is in. It is bizarre, as a result of she does start to recollect issues. She does start to recollect him. That, after all, provides to the confusion.The way in which I like to consider the Matt and Elektra relationship is it is the superhero model of the very poisonous love relationship you've in your 20s, the place you are on-again off-again for 2 years, and also you by no means fairly recover from that particular person. A part of you is all the time with that one nice real love you had, despite the fact that it was all the time doomed and it was by no means going to work. That is the superhero model of that.How will dropping Stick impression Matt? He would not have lots of time to course of that loss of life on the present.Yeah, all of it occurs fairly rapidly. I am imagining it is one thing that when the mud settles, he'll must revisit that grief. On the identical time, the connection with Stick was a tough one for Matt. They have been all the time at odds. Possibly it is going to be paradoxically fairly liberating to him, to not be continuously questioning if Stick goes to indicate up once more on the most inopportune second. One factor that may occur is he'll have to appreciate how a lot he beloved that man, and the way grateful he's for every little thing he did. That can be fairly a painful second, I think about. What are your remaining takeaways on The Defenders? This was an occasion you knew was in your future from the second you signed on for Daredevil. Did it meet your expectations?I simply had no concept what it was going to be. I had no idea of how these 4 exhibits would come collectively and what it could really feel like, and what the tone would really feel like. I used to be very impressed with how they constructed it. It is a very robust job. I believed Marco Ramirez and Douglas Petrie, it was very tough for them. They're clearly acquainted with Daredevil, however then they needed to turn into very snug writing these different three characters, who they hadn't been writing but. Plus, there's discuss making a present that is satisfying for not simply the followers of the opposite exhibits, but in addition for individuals who have not seen any of the exhibits. Early on particularly, there have been some reintroductions that individuals who watched the present, if it was accomplished poorly, might have discovered boring. I believe they dealt with that basically effectively. The opposite factor as effectively, and that is all technical stuff, however my feeling is that since they've all of those different exhibits — Daredevil having a season three, and Jessica Jones and Luke Cage having a season two — all of those tales must day out, if that is sensible. What occurs within the lives of those characters in The Defenders must be in keeping with the exhibits that they are on in that world. I am guessing, however presumably, every little thing taking place for Jessica Jones season two, Luke Cage season two, Iron Fist season two and Daredevil season three can be post-The Defenders. It must be. So to be able to write The Defenders itself, you need to be sure you're in the identical timeframe for all of these characters. That simply sounds to me like such a mind-fuck. (Laughs.) I do not know the way you try this. And one of many issues that occurred with this present is that we made it happen over the course of a couple of week, and lots of it is rather plot-heavy. You get to brush over a number of issues that if it was a person present, you most likely must take care of a bit extra.Are you aware if you're getting again in costume as Daredevil? When can we count on to begin listening to about season three?My understanding is we hope to begin capturing by the tip of this yr in some unspecified time in the future. Hopefully which means it is out in 2018, but it surely's not confirmed but.Comply with THR's protection of The Defenders for extra interviews, information and deep dives.The DefendersDaredevilLet's block adverts!

'Sport of Thrones': Why Gendry Can't Die Beyond the Wall
The blacksmith from Flea Backside has an excessive amount of work to do earlier than his time on 'Thrones' can finish. Seven troopers handed by way of Eastwatch and into the frozen world past: Jon Snow (Equipment Harington), the King in the North; Tormund Giantsbane (Kristofer Hivju), Foreman of the Free People; Beric Dondarrion (Richard Dormer), the Lightning Lord; Thoros of Myr (Paul Kaye), the Crimson Priest; Sandor Clegane (Rory McCann), the Hound; Jorah Mormont (Iain Glen), the Sword of the Queen; and a blacksmith named Gendry (Joe Dempsie) abruptly returned after three years on a rowboat.Okay, he wasn't really rowing for 3 years, nevertheless it positive felt that means. Gendry, final seen on Sport of Thronesin the third season, resurfaced on this previous week's "Eastwatch," simply in time to affix the idiot's errand up north, the place Jon and his firm hope to safe a wight to be able to show to Daenerys (Emilia Clarke) and Cersei (Lena Headey) that the White Walker menace is actual. Since a lot time has handed since we final noticed this blacksmith from Flea Backside, certainly he is one of the most expendable characters on this fated mission, proper?Improper! A minimum of, incorrect on this author's opinion. His story may not be the flashiest or most central in the grand scheme of issues, however Gendry is undoubtedly an vital determine in the better material of Sport of Thrones, with an excessive amount of untapped potential to die on this expedition. Listed here are a couple of explanation why he'll make it out alive:He is a blacksmith. One of the greatest, in reality, apprenticing for the masterful Tobho Mott (Andrew Wilde), a person who is aware of tips on how to work with Valyrian metal in the books. It is totally doable that Mott handed this ability alongside to Gendry, and in that case, that makes Gendry a useful useful resource in the battle towards the lifeless, as one of the only a few people in Westeros and the realms past who might make new weapons solid from the historical steel — and as now we have seen in the previous, Valyrian metal is one of the White Walkers' solely identified weaknesses.He is a blacksmith. Critically, it is value repeating. All the purpose why Jon Snow traveled right down to Dragonstone in the first place was the promise of dragonglass, one more uncommon materials that inflicts mortal harm towards the White Walkers. The Targaryen stronghold is already being mined for the stuff, and a person like Gendry might show essential in creating highly effective weapons in consequence.He is a Baratheon. The final one, in reality, since King Robert (Mark Addy), Renly (Gethin Anthony) and Stannis (Stephen Dillane) are all lengthy lifeless. Definitely, Sport of Thrones would not draw back from wiping out total strains of households. See: Home Tyrell of Highgarden and Home Frey of the Twins as additional examples. With that stated, the Baratheons are one of the foundational homes in Sport of Thrones, and it is onerous to think about their line washing away utterly. The home's future rests solely on Gendry, then, as he is the final Baratheon standing, even when...He is a Baratheon bastard, which brings the household full circle: Orys Baratheon is the founder of the home, a bastard who fought on Aegon the Conqueror's behalf to defeat the final Storm King, Argilac of Home Durrandon, the unique rulers of the Storm Lands. After killing Argilac the Smug, Orys took the lifeless man's stag banner and home phrases — "Ours is the fury" — for his personal, forging Home Baratheon. In different phrases, this nice home that led to the first non-Targaryen King of Westeros was based by a bastard. If just for story symmetry, it is sensible for one more Baratheon bastard to push the household even additional, maybe with a distinct surname of his selecting.He is a greatest buddy in ready. Whether or not that is for Arya Stark (Maisie Williams), who traveled with Gendry as soon as upon a time, how merciless would it not be for these two previous buddies to each be in Westeros with out not less than one remaining encounter? What's extra, Gendry and Jon Snow have turn out to be quick buddies as a consequence of their fathers' shared historical past — each of Jon's fathers, actually. In the days of Aegon the Conqueror, Orys turned the first ever Hand of the King. What are the odds that Gendry might serve an analogous capability for Jon Snow, ought to the King in the North turn out to be the King of Westeros as his birthright? In any case, there's an excessive amount of wealthy historical past below Gendry's belt to disregard utterly, actually an excessive amount of to chop off outright after solely two episodes again on Sport of Thrones. With few exceptions, Gendry is the most secure character amongst the Eastwatch elite — well-known final phrases earlier than the blacksmith will get brutally butchered past the Wall, of course.Comply with THR.com/GameOfThrones all season lengthy for information, interviews, theories and extra.
