"It will go into the story."
The world has never been so happy to welcome the winter.
Oh yes, the long wait without new episodes of Game of Thrones is almost over because the war for Westeros is about to begin.
Since we've seen the terrifying power of the Night King in Hardhome, all of Game of Thrones' complexion has been overthrown and, after this epic finale of season seven, the dead will be parading in the North.
Suddenly, the war for the iron throne seems tiny compared to the threat beyond The Wall.
As Jon Snow has said, "there is only one war that counts, the Great War, and it is here".
As the narrative issue grows, it goes without saying that the action plays go hand in hand and that, in this sense, Game of Thrones has always increased the bet each year.
Remember the first season and the "big" moment of action that was a sword fight between Ned Stark and Jaime Lannister. How things have changed
In terms of season eight, the Battle of Winterfell is about to break records because this will be not only the longest episode of the series' history, with 82 minutes, but also the most great battle of the history of television and film.
In terms of production and scale, the cast and crew spent 55 consecutive nights filming the battle sequence, with the episode directed by Miguel Sapochnik.
This time more than doubled the time it took to film their previous large-scale action scenes – Blackwater, The Battle of the Bastards, Beyond the Wall, et al.

As we saw in the caravan, Gray Worm (Jacob Anderson) and Gendry (Joe Dempsie) are two men who will get dirty against the army of the dead.
JOE had the chance to chat with both actors at the premiere of the eighth season in Belfast. If you like the action, get ready, because the next sequences are about to make history and the leader of the Unsullied group was in the center of the stage.
"It was sometimes miserable, but as a general rule, it was amazing, I have never done anything like that, and I may never do it again," said Jacob Anderson.
"Some of the sets are the most impressive things you can see, or have been seen, the fact is that everything was real, there were real tactile things you could interact with.
"There was a day when a lot of weapons were distributed to people – it was really scary – people overtook you and knocked you out with shields and swords," he added. .
After spending all this time rowing, Gendry came back last season and he showed us that he was very useful in combat. We will always love this scene when he lodges the hammer of war in the skull of a Lannister soldier. undead beyond the wall – but Joe Dempsie said that the scale of the coming battle is different from anything that has ever been seen.
In fact, there were times when he could not even spot a camera – that was the impressive number of extras.
"It's sometimes happened to me to look around and not to see a camera or to prove that everything was filmed," he recalls.
"It's so big, some nights were tough, but there was so much where you could turn to the actor next to you and say – without hyperbole – that we are writing the history of television and that we let's be part of it. "
After the king of the night has destroyed part of the wall at Eastwatch-By-The-Sea, it is clear that the night guards are under severe threat.
Bad news for their 999th Lord Commander, Dolorous Edd.
When Jon Snow left Castle Black, he asked Edd, jokingly, not to shoot The Wall and when JOE met with actor Ben Crompton during the season premiere, we had to ask him questions about this line.
"He told me that and I held my end of the bargain, on the other side, of poor quality!" Joked Jon Snow's close friend.
On a more serious note, when it comes to a satisfactory final, the Mancunian said the cast and crew were feeling the pressure to stay on the podium. However, he badured fans that the next six episodes "will enter the history of television".
"It was great to shoot because you know it's the last one and you're not going to start again," Crompton said.
"There was a kind of strange atmosphere on the set, almost like an end-of-school atmosphere – you know, a little dizzy and sad.
"We also knew that what we were doing was spectacular, it will be one of the most talked about TV events and it will remain etched in the history of television."
While Dolorous Edd has extremely important issues to settle at Castle Black, Jon Snow has someone else on whom he can rely for sound advice; Ser Davos Seaworth.
After being defeated at the Battle of Blackwater, Ser Davos' military reputation was redeemed when he helped Jon Snow regain control of the North during the bastards battle.
However, as we saw in the trailer, the beloved character of Liam Cunningham will be in Winterfell when the army of the dead will arrive.
So how does the next battle compare to others?
"Someone asked me to describe the last season in a nutshell and I would say it's epic." HBO was aware that she was really falling behind this season and she he did, "said Cunningham.
"When they are behind something, they really are, they basically said," What do you want? "For the last season and the spectators are responsible enough that HBO has allowed it to be huge.
From Season 1 to Season 6, it took six months to shoot 10 episodes. This season, it took us a year to shoot six episodes.
"Obviously, this represents a huge amount of money, logistics and production," he added.
The winter is here.
Sky Atlantic will broadcast Game of Thrones Season 8 at 3pm on April 15th with a rehearsal at 9pm the same day. You can also watch it on Now TV.
