As more and more information begins to surface surrounding season four of Game of Thrones, we have learned information about the penultimate episode thanks to a recent interview from Neil Marshall, director of season four’s ninth episode, with the Irish Film & Television Network.

Marshall gave some insight about the upcoming season and the always incredible penultimate episode in an interview that you will want to read from top to bottom.

Here are some of the highlights from Marshall’s recent interview, via WinterIsComing.net:

The episode focuses on the battle for Castle Black and there are “three different battles going on at the same time in different places.”

Approximately 200 extras were needed, plus a very large stunt crew, “including this amazing bunch of Hungarian stunt guys,” Marshall notes.

In addition to the preexisting Castle Black set at Magheramorne Quarry, GoT partially built another within the Paint Hall for the top of the Wall, taking up the entire studio. They needed to use the largest backdrop in Europe for the set.

Expect to see “a few beheadings in there,” according to the director. “And yeah, we got to blow some people up, set people on fire and do quite a few high falls.”

Are you excited for Game of Thrones season 4? We still have to wait a few months until the show returns to our televisions, but it appears that the wait will be well worth it.
