Emilia Clarke still insists Game of Thrones is filming multiple endings

Game of Thrones is a big show, and we have seen the leaks come from the show which quite match the size of the show itself. For Season 7, we had about the entire plot leaked months before the season premiered, and when it did premiere, we started getting leaks in the form of entire episodes, before they aired. HBO has been extra careful with Season 8, and we haven’t had any substantial leaks yet. However, what we’ve had is rumours that the production is filming multiple endings to the show to ensure stuff doesn’t get spoiled, and now we have a fresh reminder of the same. Emilia Clarke, who plays the role of Daenerys Targaryen on the show, recently talked about filming multiple endings for Game of Thrones. Read on!

Now, if you don’t know, HBO’s President of Original Programming, Casey Bloys first revealed that the production was filming multiple endings. This was confirmed by Emilia Clarke in an interview shortly thereafter, but Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, who plays Jaime Lannister, had dismissed this on the grounds that there wasn’t enough room for wastefulness in the budget. However in a recent appearance on her press tour on The Hollywood Reporter’s “Awards Chatter”, Emilia Clarke talked about the multiple endings:

“I don’t know that I even [know the ending] now. I’m being serious. I think they’re filming a bunch of stuff and they’re not telling us. I’m being serious. I’m being deadly serious. I think that they don’t even trust us. There’s lots of different endings that could happen; I think we’re doing all of them and we aren’t being told which is actually what’s going to happen.”

This confirms the season 8 filming information that we had shared earlier. Emilia also discussed how she used to be very nervous in her first year on the show, and would carry a copy of the first ASOIAF book like a lucky charm:

“I literally would just wake up and try and survive the day. Like, literally, ‘don’t let them know that they shouldn’t have hired you, cause they shouldn’t have hired you.’”

She also talked about the nudity on the show, and how she felt about doing it playing Daenerys:

“Was it daunting for me, as a 23-year-old, to do it? Yes, 100 percent. Hell, it’s daunting anyway. But I must admit, having done it, I believe people care more for her as a character, because they’ve seen her suffer, so there’s that. But the volume of interest in the fact that I took my clothes off is astonishing to me. Emilia Clarke didn’t go up on stage and go, ‘What up guys? Check out these guys [her breasts]!’ That didn’t happen. I took on a character, and the character had things happen to her.”

Speaking of how it was to have the show end, Emilia said:

“It’s incredibly emotional, this final season that we’re in the middle of right now…I truly get really emotional just even thinking about the end of the show [because] what you’re leaving behind is…everything that has happened to me in my 20s — 10 years of my life was woven within the show. You know, there’s so much that’s happened to all of us, and you’re walking away from all of that…Daenerys is so much a part of who I am, and I am so much a part of who she is, so it’s this incredibly frightening thing to walk away from — but at the same time, unbelievably exciting.”

Well, we’re certainly excited to see how the show ends. What about you? Talk to us in the comments, down below!
