Two Game of Thrones items for you today. First is HBO’s new teaser trailer. This has no new footage. Having read Storm of Swords a couple times I don’t really understand why the teaser would draw a parallel to our world, it sort of suggests to casual viewers that there’s some Fringe-like portal being opened up (I suppose it’s simply trying to say what the title cards suggest — that the world of Westeros is returning to our world via the launch of the new season, but you would think the tease would be more S3 specific). Nice use of “The Rains of Castamere”; book fans will get that hint (a lion still has claws, indeed). After the video, we have the writer and director lineup for the third season.
Here’s the teaser:
