Mind boggling!

Jack Bender, one of the new directors announced for Season 6, gave an hint of what’s to come to BGR.

Game of Thrones actress Nathalie Emmanuel also discusses her time on the show and what kind of death she wants when and if her time comes.

In BGR (Boy Genius Report), Bender discusses how he will be directing episodes 5 and 6 and also clarified that he has read most of the scripts (not The Winds of Winter) for next season including his own episodes.

He also pointed out how closely David Benioff and Dan Weiss work with author George R.R. Martin when it comes to preparing each season of Game of Thrones.

Dan Weiss and David Benioff are enormously brilliant and unpretentious guys, and I know they communicate closely (with Martin).

He also notes that because of the enormous size of the episodes, you have to commit four-and-a-half to six months at a time to direct.

Bender (along with the cast and crew of Game of Thrones) will leave for Belfast in a few weeks to begin shooting Season 6.

In other news, Nathalie Emmanuel (Missandei) told BANG Showbiz that she has accepted that her character could be killed off at any moment (like that close call in Episode 9, thank you, Tyrion!) She has also said that when/if that time does come, she would like to go out in a blaze of glory:

If I do die I’d want it to be something really cool – something that will make everyone cry. It would have to be something really heroic, like she sacrifices herself to save someone else, or she suddenly learns how to be an amazing swordsman and dies in an epic battle. That could be fun.
