[quote]Diana Rigg (pictured), who will play Olenna Redwyne, aka Queen of Thorns (because of her sharp-tongue and prickliness), the wily grandmother of Margaery Tyrell in the third season of the highly popular drama series Game Of Thrones, which will start shooting next month.
The actress will be a semi-regular character throughout the third series of the show, which is based on George R.R. Martin’s best-selling novels. Olenna is a powerful, domineering matriarch and queen, who’s a mistress of the art of manipulation.
The drama will be shown on Sky Atlantic[/quote]
Game of Thrones and Doctor Who. Suddenly, she's around again.

Bah, I was praying for Brian Blessed. Though the best role for him would of been King Robert.
Here's the new cast members:
[quote][b]Diana Rigg as Lady Olenna Tyrell[/b]. Also known as “The Queen of Thorns,” Lady Olenna is the grandmother of Margaery and Loras Tyrell and is, in many ways, the true leader of their powerful family.
[b]Mackenzie Crook as Orell[/b]. A wildling raider, Orell is a “warg” or “skinchanger,” with the ability to enter the mind of an animal and control its actions.
[b]Clive Russell as Bryndon “The Blackfish” Tully[/b]. Known far and wide as “The Blackfish,” Brynden is a famous knight and the uncle of Catelyn Stark. He quarreled bitterly with his brother, Lord Hoster Tully, and the two were estranged for many years.
[b]Nathalie Emannuel as Missandei[/b]. Originally from the peaceful island of Naath, Missandei was sold into slavery as a child, along with her brother. She received education in various languages and became a translator to the slave trader Kraznys in Astapor.
[b]Kerry Ingram as Shireen Baratheon[/b], the only child of Stannis Baratheon. An avid reader, she escapes her lonely life through myths and stories – her books are her most treasured possessions.
[b]Paul Kaye as Thoros of Myr[/b]. A key member of the outlaw band known as the Brotherhood Without Banners, he is a Red Priest, in service of the Lord of Light, and originally hails from the Free City of Myr, in Essos.
[b]Thomas Brodie-Sangster as Jojen Reed[/b], a mysterious and enigmatic young man who becomes an important ally to Bran Stark.
[b]Ellie Kendrick as Meera Reed[/b]. The eldest daughter of Howland Reed and a staunch Stark loyalist, Meera and her younger brother Jojen seek out Bran Stark to protect him on his hard journey north.
[b]Richard Dormer as Beric Dondarrion[/b]. Once the lord of Blackhaven and a celebrated warrior, Lord Beric has now become the leader of the Brotherhood Without Banners, a band of vigilante outlaws.
[b]Kristofer Hivju as Tormund Giantsbane[/b]. A famed wildling warrior and chief lieutenant of the “King Beyond the Wall,” Mance Rayder, Tormund is fearsome and strong, with a large build and a beard to match.
[b]Philip McGinley as Anguy[/b], an extremely skilled archer and key member of the outlaw band known as the Brotherhood Without Banners.
[b]Tara Fitzgerald as Selyse Baratheon[/b]. The wife of Stannis Baratheon, Selyse spends much of her life in seclusion, shut away in a gloomy tower.
[b]Tobias Menzies as Edmure Tully[/b]. The younger brother of Catelyn Stark, Edmure has recently become Lord of Riverrun in the wake of his father’s death.
[b]Anton Lesser as Qyburn[/b], a former maester of the Citadel, who was stripped of his chain many years ago.[/quote]
Looks like Mackenzie Crook wasn't Vargo Hoat after all.
Ha, to the person who said he was.
Also no Mance Rayder or DONT CLICK BITCH [sp] Jon Connington[/sp]
Also the Reeds are in, fuck yes.
Still 75% worried about who they cast as Mance. He is my favorite character.
Ah, they've aged Missandei up, as expected.
wait so do we not get hoat or rayder?!? or is casting not done
[editline]13th July 2012[/editline]
also why isnt thoros old
[QUOTE=thrawn2787;36758821]wait so do we not get hoat or rayder?!? or is casting not done[/QUOTE]
I severely doubt it's done.
Rayder's way too important not to be cast.
Richard Dormer looks and sounds like an older Ewan McGregor.
Is Missandei the one that Daenerys has some sweet sweet lesbian sex with?
[QUOTE=H4wkeye;36759029]Is Missandei the one that [sp]Daenerys has some sweet sweet lesbian sex[/sp] with?[/QUOTE]
She'll kinda have to, since her other two handmaidens are dead.
Or they will just cut the scene all together.
ASoS spoiler (nothing huge): [sp]Anyone else think they won't cast Hoster Tully and rather skip straight to his funeral? Would make sense as there's already so many character to introduce.[/sp]
[QUOTE=Webby2020;36759184]Or they will just cut the scene all together.[/QUOTE]
In which case, boo!
[QUOTE=Webby2020;36759184]Or they will just cut the scene all together.[/QUOTE]
Seems more likely, if I remember right Emilia Clarke signed a no nudity clause in her contract.
I have skipped all the way to the last page, just to tell you... I LOVE THE STARKS, & SNOW, & Tryion & HORDOR! <3
i always pronounced jojen as yogen (swedish j i guess on the first j)
sounds better
[QUOTE=myalt22;36759311]Seems more likely, if I remember right Emilia Clarke signed a no nudity clause in her contract.[/QUOTE]
But she was mostly nude all Season 1 :(
[QUOTE=H4wkeye;36760159]But she was mostly nude all Season 1 :([/QUOTE]
And now that she's famous and successful, she no longer needs to go nude to become famous and successful.
[editline]14th July 2012[/editline]
Sad, but the simple truth is there'll be no sex scenes with her, other than fade to blacks.
I'm happy with the new cast other than Beric.
I always pictured him as Stannis 2.0
I'm guessing they are still negotiating with mance
[QUOTE=Doc Diddles;36760573]I'm happy with the new cast other than Beric.

I kept hoping they'd cast [url=http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0365317/]Sean Harris[/url], as he's Nina Gold's (GoT casting director) favorite, but now it's too late :(
