AceShowbiz - Some new pictures from the set of "Game of Thrones" season 5 have leaked online, one of which reveals the first look at Jonathan Pryce as High Sparrow. He looks dirty and wears a dull outfit as he walks with an actress in costume.
Other photos show King Tommen on the steps with his guards. He is stopped by the Faith Militant who won't let him through as "his holiness is praying," according to Winter Is Coming. "The Goldcloak leader encourages a battle but king Tommen defuses the situation and leaves with his guards. As he is leaving, the crowd beneath the steps yells, 'Bastard, abomination.' "
High Sparrow is a devout and pious man who comes to King's Landing to serve the poor. His fellow believers have swarmed over the city, ministering to the lowest and decrying the corruption of the highest. He's responsible for Cersei's "Walk of Shame" which has been filmed in Croatia.
TMZ reports that the filming of Cersei's nude scene cost the show $50,000/day to make sure it's kept under wraps. More than 200 security guards were reportedly hired during the 4-day shoot and producers paid local shop owners to shut down and leave the area. Cell phones were banned on the set and everyone signed confidentiality agreements that threatened $250,000 lawsuits for violators.
"Game of Thrones" season 5 is scheduled to premiere in 2015. Other new faces in the next installment include Alexander Siddig as Doran Martell and Nell Tiger Free as Myrcella Baratheon.
