Naomi Watts Begins Shooting for Game Of Thrones Prequel

George RR Martin’s epic tale of love, lust and power, Game Of Thrones is undoubtedly one of the best TV series of all times. The show finally ended this year on a bittersweet note and while some fans were left disappointed with the ending, some just called it as an emotional roller coaster. Well, the winter is not over yet folks as the prequel of the show has already kicked-off in Northern Ireland last week.

Apparently, the series will take place thousands of years before the events of Game Of Thrones and “chronicles the world’s descent from the golden age of heroes into its darkest hour”, as per the official description by HBO. "From the horrifying secrets of Westeros' history to the true origin of the White Walkers, the mysteries of the East to the Starks of legend, only one thing is for sure: It's not the story we think we know," the official description read.

Martin previously told Entertainment Weekly that "Westeros is a very different place" in the upcoming prequel, compared to the Westeros fans are familiar with in 'GoT'.

"There's no King's Landing. There's no Iron Throne. There are no Targaryens-- Valyria has hardly begun to rise yet with its dragons and the great empire that it built. We're dealing with a different and older world and hopefully that will be part of the fun of the series," he said. While HBO is yet to reveal an official title for the upcoming series, the author said that last year that it will be called 'The Long Night'. The show boasts an ensemble cast led by Naomi Watts  along with Naomi Ackie, Denise Gough, Miranda Richardson, Josh Whitehouse, Jamie Campbell Bower, Sheila Atim, Ivanno Jeremiah, Alex Sharp, and Toby Regbo.
