Screen Rant recently spoke to Kit Harrington who plays Jon Snow on “Game of Thrones.” They talked to him about his new movie “Testament of Youth” and the now infamous White Walker scene from “Game of Thrones” episode “Hardhome.”
It’s a great interview where Kit explains that it took three weeks to film that 23 minute scene. You can check out a quote below:
“Hardhome” just hit here in the States, so Game of Thrones fans here are losing their minds about it. What was it like to shoot that sprawling final sequence?
It was intense. To give you an idea: I shot this film (Testament of Youth), this entire film in three weeks. And that’s how long it took to shoot that twenty-minute sequence (on Game of Thrones). So it was one of the most intense pieces of filming, I’ve ever done. It was great. I loved it.
I saw it the other night and–you just never know how you’re going to feel about it. And it’s important to me that it worked. I really felt it did. I was very happy with it. It upped the stakes for Thrones, which was good. It was a marker point in Thrones that should have been hit, and needed to be hit. And I was happy with it.
He goes on to say that the White Walkers look the same on the set as they do on the screen due to the fact that they’re created using a lot of prosthetics. You can check out the full interview HERE.
