Casting also dictated how and when they killed people. Question about scouting locations. They are crediting the Location director in Belfast. Sorry, I didn’t catch name.
They asked about not including women and POC in the writers room. They didn’t have a writers room and there was one woman who wrote a few scenes. They decided up front it was going to be the two of them. David Hill is of Asian descent.
He said that they wouldn’t hire writers unless they were willing to be part of the production team. (Vanessa wrote the Shape of Water.)
She ended up leaving the show to write that. Q re: how do you pitch a show this big and they said it was basically a con job to HBO and how big it would get bc they bet on the HBO execs not reading 5000 pages of ASOIAF. The pitch was impossible to pitch the whole story.
They decided to pitch the pilot, and not the series, in a way that was understandable to folks they were pitching. Then they did a vague overview of the series, with not a lot of details. “There was no good way to summarize the story. So we didn’t.”
There was a question re: kit Harrington that wa unintelligible and neither of them answered. They kept referring to the other one. End of Thread.
Update: First, thanks for all the love and appreciation, and the validation, Fam! Truthfully typing kept me from screaming. Also, thanks for ignoring my spelling grammar, etc., I was typing fast. And as far as the thread -pic.twitter.com/BLbweGB7tb
My mentions have exploded, and @TheMarySue is reporting. I will respond to everyone as I can.
Also, I’m adding answers to folks questions and feedback others may not see bc RTs.https://www.themarysue.com/game-of-thrones-showrunners-austin-film-festival/amp/?__twitter_impression=true …
Many of your comments in replies and rtweets express dismay and anger on their comment about removal or downplaying of the fantasy elements. This article gives context to thoughts about fantasy in 2008 when they were pitching HBO.https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/hbo-conjuring-fantasy-series-122810 …
Dan was more vocal on the issue of fantasy fans. Here’s an article where he comments he hadnt liked that genre since he was 12.pic.twitter.com/n1tAcg9fR7
This is my impression of how they demeaned fantasy fans.https://twitter.com/forarya/status/1188483779515633664?s=21 …
Many of you voiced your incredulity and disappointment, like @SoBanked .
https://twitter.com/sobanked/status/1188511229939245061?s=21 …
They also made comments about their approach to genre and how the series was “only a few steps away from Monty Python.” Please someone explain that?! But this Vanity Fair article reiterates these comments.https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2014/03/game-of-thrones-benioff-weiss-interview …
Lots of comments on how their treatment of the fantasy elements throughout the series contributed to the Finale’s failure particularly Bran/3ER. Here’s one from @wintersdracarys https://twitter.com/wintersdracarys/status/1188214177174736896?s=21 …
This humorous tweet sums up their thought process on trying to appeal to a broader audience.https://twitter.com/leduc65/status/1188286575341256705?s=21 …
My read was that they think of fantasy fans as intelligent, but geeks and nerds. Not “manly.”https://twitter.com/forarya/status/1188223592485531649?s=21 …
An overwhelming number of responses were both about the flagrant white privilege during the interview and their being approved for HBO to do the series.
Like this one from @the_strix.https://twitter.com/the_strix/status/1188489725838970880?s=21 …
Fantasy and privilege.https://twitter.com/reubenzj/status/1188526517275545606?s=21 …
This echoes the frustration of many of the writers in the room.https://twitter.com/kdwilliams/status/1188517004669411328?s=21 …
Here’s my comments on the vibe. I also responded that people were generally polite yet uncomfortable. D&D even commented re: the politeness of the attendee (woman who spoke soft and had an accent) who asked the tough Q about Kit. (They didn’t answer Q.)https://twitter.com/forarya/status/1188213272127967232?s=21 …
Here’s a positive takeaway from @runwithskizzershttps://twitter.com/runwithskizzers/status/1188475259823022085?s=21 …
Some participants have public profiles and attendees should be visble on http://www.austinfilmfestival.com - if you don’t know, this should give you an idea of the number and diversity of writers who have stories that never get told, and not bc of the quality.
Writers typically ask panelists about: Research Pitching Writing process Character dev Research Network/studio involvement and Notes Finding Success Comments to this align with those. A lot of folks were outraged with the writers room, or lack thereof. https://twitter.com/fkaluna_/status/1188225911944032258?s=21 …
Most comments about having a writers room, and how that intertwines with misogyny and privilege, like @entoncesallora.https://twitter.com/entoncesallora/status/1188525786854236160?s=21 …
Here was my comment on another thread.https://twitter.com/forarya/status/1188478449826054144?s=21 …
Obviously, the impact of no, errr, limited diversity on the women and POC characters.https://twitter.com/adragondemands/status/1188233251091079171?s=21 …
Some picked up on HBO asking them to hire more experienced writers and D&D’s arrogance in making it about them. This, all day this.

Preach! If anything comes from Benioff and Weiss wallowing in their privilege at #AFF26 while openly mocking @HBO, @GRRMspeaking, #fantasyfans, dismissing other writers, maybe we collectively ask #HollywoodOpenTheDoor and #hollywoodPayUp. @GameOfThroneshttps://twitter.com/camerouninema/status/1188445733697064962?s=21 …
My further clarification of Benioff and Weiss’ comments about writers below. Alson, they said Vanees helped write a couple of *episodes,* not *scenes* before she left to do “The Shape of Water.”https://twitter.com/forarya/status/1188396099398230017?s=21 …
And it went on for ten years. #HollywoodOpenTheDoor
