In directing news, Alan Taylor (Terminator Genisys, Thor: The Dark World) took to zaptoit to convey that he wants to return to the world of Westeros.

Taylor directed the infamous season 1 penultimate episode “Baelor” as well as the following Season 1 finale, Season 2 premiere, and Season 2 finale. Taylor says:

I want to. I keep telling them I want to. We actually had a conversation — David and Dan and I — about next season. It’s just making it happen for real.

Due to scheduling conflicts, Taylor was unavailable to return to Season 6 and commented:

It was Season 6 that we were talking about, and it wasn’t going to happen. I wanted it to happen, but it’s just a schedule thing. I’ll keep pinning my hopes on the next season.

We will too! Hope to see you soon, Alan! Head on over to zaptoit for the full interview!
