LOST'S ADEWALE AKINNUOYE-AGBAJE JOINS GAME OF THRONES
Mr. Eko is Heading to Westeros.
16 OCT 2014 BY RACHEL HAAS
Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, of Lost and Thor: The Dark World fame, has signed on to a role in the upcoming fifth season of Game of Thrones.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, not much has been revealed about the actor's place on the HBO show, but it is said that the actor's character isn't in the books and goes by the name of Malko.
While Akinnuoye-Agbaje will be taking on an unfamiliar character, season five will see the return of our favorite Game of Thrones names--including some surprises--in new exotic Westeros lands, such as Prince Oberyn "The Red Viper" Martell's birthplace of Dorne. GoT showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss have said that they "see no reason why the coming season shouldn’t be the strongest yet."
Akinnuoye-Agbaje will also join Bryan Cranston, Helen Mirren, and Diane Lane in Trumbo, and stars in Annie, opposite Jamie Fox and Quvenzhane Wallis, which opens this holiday season.
Season five of Game of Thrones is set to air spring 2015.

I'm cool with that. I don't mind a new experience with the show. I wonder if his character is gonna stay true to form though. That will be interesting to see.

Call me Dad
fam you are 
with the info
i think they are working on ways to extend this past the books.. GM has said he told them exactly how it'll end. as long as they nail that, they can mix up the last two books if he doesn't finish in time
they say if he doesn't finish, they'll just stop it right there.. this is their blockbuster, i don't see them just saying "oh fukk it" and letting it cut off suddenly after the next 2/3 seasons

Game of Thrones Cast Sign On for 7th (and Final?) Season
The main cast of HBO's Game of Thrones have renegotiated their contracts to include the option for a Season 7, which could be the show's last.
30 OCT 2014 BY MATT FOWLER
HBO has now signed all of its principal Game of Thrones stars through a potential seventh season.
The main cast had only been signed through Season 6, but all that's now been renegotiated to include an option for a seventh season, should that renewal occur (which it totally will, of course).
THR reports that "HBO has ponied up huge raises for seasons 5, 6 and the potential season 7 that will make the cast members among the highest paid on cable TV."
According to THR sources, stars are compensated using a tiered system, with the higher-paid "A Tier" including stars Kit Harington, Peter Dinklage, Lena Headey,Emilia Clarke and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau.
And the "B Tier" supposedly including Natalie Dormer, Sophie Turner, Maisie Williamsand others. With all tiers getting large compensations regardless.
Keep in mind too, that none of this means that these characters are guaranteed to last through Season 7. Staying alive is not part of the contract. But these contracts cover all bases in case HBO does need them (seeing as how Season 5 will actually employ flashbacks).
It's long been rumored too that Season 7 might be the final season for the show, and that this final negotiation with the entire cast for that one extra seventh huge-payday season might foreshadow that fact.

It was confirmed a while ago that we wouldn't be seeing any Hodor in Season 5
Entertainment Weekly ran a story saying Gawdbody Bran was cut too
Producer David Benioff confirmed it today....no Bran
#StarkSet loses its leader and the #1 player in the Game of Thrones Power Rankings
Storyline is basically caught up to the books other than some meandering, so rather than jump ahead and fukk up the timelines they have just decided to leave him out until next season when the other characters are caught up
This is after we got no Rickon the young killa in Season 4.
Wouldn't be surprised if he was also gone from Season 5 and eventually recast since NONE of the casual viewers will even remember he existed
#Starkset we still out here though :lawdreversed::stark:

At least it gives me Plenty more time & reasons to read the books. In the past y'all were saying that Season 5 would finish up Books 4 & 5. Now it looks their gonna be plenty of content from Books 4 & 5 not covered or changed in Season 5.

Its both breh, caught up AND uncovered
It will completely catch up to the books, but it will also not cover a lot of the books because entire MAJOR story arcs and characters being cut completely
At least 4 major POV book characters cut. At least 2 more major non-POV characters cut. At least 2 entire major plotlines cut. At least 3 entire regions (out of 7 kingdoms, nearly 50%) of Westeros and all the characters in them that wont resemble the books
