GOT Season 8 premiere New York
« on: April 03, 2019, 12:30:15 AM »
Tonight April 3  New York City

Current and former cast members arrive in New York for the Season 8 premiere!
Quote
Although us smallfolk will have to wait 12 more days for the Season 8 premiere of Game of Thrones, the U.S. premiere tomorrow night at Radio City Music Hall in New York City will be attended by celebrities, cast and crew members, and those lucky enough to obtain an invite (including Watchers’ own Petra Halbur!), just to name a few.

The stars have been arriving in New York for days now, and of special interest are the sheer number of former cast members who have made the trip for the last-ever season premiere. News of who’s attending and who’s been spotted has been popping up all over Twitter and Instagram today, which first came to attention this morning with this tweet from @lovelysophiet:

Tonight, the Game of Thrones cast members will step out at the season 8 red carpet premiere in New York City. But before that, they’re all going on talk shows to discuss the final season…or rather avoid discussing the final season. Let’s watch!

Five minutes with Ned Stark: His 'Game of Thrones' predictions and whether he'll return
Fans are hopeful the former Lord of Winterfell could return — dead or alive — for the final season. What does Sean Bean have to say about that?

Stars and spoiler warnings: we take you inside the 'Game of Thrones' final season premiere

Quote
It may be springtime according to the calendar, but a wintery wind descended on Radio City Music Hall last night. The New York landmark served as the launchpad for the eighth and final season of HBO’s blockbuster series, Game of Thrones. Crowds started gathering early to catch a glimpse of the red carpet, where Yahoo Entertainment captured all the comings and goings of cast members like Kit Harington, Emilia Clarke, Sophie Turner and Peter Dinklage.

Other returning favorites included Jason Momoa, Natalie Dormer and, best of all, Sean Bean. That’s right: Ned Stark may be gone, but the North fondly remembers Bean’s service.

Sean Bean
The actor looked as dapper as ever.
Bean plays Eddard Stark in the series.
At the event he wore a charming suit with a patterned tie.

Sean Bean
Because a three-piece suit is always a good idea. Bean has jazzed up a navy suit with ease, simply by adding a patterned tie. Take note.

First Impressions from Game of Thrones’ Season 8 Premiere
Quote
The Old Gods and the New gifted me with a last-minute ticket to the world premiere of the first episode of Game of Thrones’ final season. I put on my fanciest Dothraki gown and headed over to Radio City Music Hall to watch television—and breathe air in the same room as Emilia Clarke herself!—along with a bunch of HBO executives, publicists, media, and some lucky fans.

I can’t tell you much, but I can say it was an emotional event, even before the episode aired.



The crowd inside Radio City was excited, and everyone arrived very dressed up to basically just watch TV. We weren’t anywhere near the red carpet, but we were able to watch the cast arrivals on a closed circuit TV that was broadcasting inside the hall. Between “Best Of” clips of major GoT events, we got to see the pretty famous people showing off their elaborate dresses. People clapped as each actor smiled for the camera. Varys has hair in real life! Gwendoline Christie had the most gorgeous, billowy extra dress you’ve ever seen! Jason Momoa brought back all those great, brief Khal Drogo moments! And then there was George R.R. Martin himself!


Also: Sean Bean. Ned! The crowd went absolutely bonkers and that’s really when I think it hit everyone that this is really, really the last time that so much of the cast will be together in one place.


Once everyone was settled in, it was time for some brief, emotional speeches from HBO’s head of programming, Casey Bloys, and showrunners David Benioff and D. B. Weiss. There was also a cute but very stern audio warning from Maisie Williams and Sophie Turner, doing their best Stark sisters banter, to caution the audience against any cellphone use. The entire cast took a bow on stage—I was in the nosebleed seats and even there you could see how big those Clegane boys are. It was a nice bit of well-deserved self-congratulation for the team at HBO, as well as a heartfelt ‘thank you’ to Martin and his books.

 But let’s be real: Pomp and circumstance is great, but we were all here to see the first episode of the last season of Game of Thrones.

The relatively sedate crowd livened up as soon as the opening credits began with that now-famous score. I felt like I was suddenly back at Barclays Center watching the season four premiere with several thousand die-hard fans (and of course the HBO folks count as die-hard fans, too).

The new season’s credits let you know right away that this is the final season, the situation is dire, and there is only one thing to focus on: the White Walkers and their army of the undead. From the first moments, there’s an immediate sense of urgency to this season. Everything is at stake.

[Warning: The rest of this article contains some non-specific reporting of what to expect in the first episode. No major spoilers, but if you don’t want to know *anything* about the show ahead of time, run away!]



There were also a lot of hotly-anticipated reunions happening in this first episode, much sooner than I would’ve thought. Some happy, some decidedly not. There was confirmation on who survived (and who didn’t) when Viserion, now an ice dragon, destroyed the wall at Eastwatch-by-the-Sea. There was crying, but not all of it was sad. There was kissing, except when certain characters blocked others’ moves to hilarious effect. And there were some great one-liners from Jon, Dany, and Tyrion. Of course, there was a lot of tension. And not a lot of new faces. We don’t have time for new people! Winter. Is. Here.

And, unfortunately, that’s really all that I can say until the press embargo is lifted on April 14th. We’ve been hearing about these super-sized final episodes, but the first episode of season eight definitely didn’t feel much longer than an hour. I was disappointed in the nicest sort of way; I wanted more! And we’ll get it… soon.

In the meantime, the one downside to being among the lucky few to see Game of Thrones early is that now I’ve got even longer to wait until episode two!

A Watcher attends the Game of Thrones season 8 red carpet premiere!

Quote
Tonight I was fortunate enough to attend the season 8 premiere of Game of Thrones in New York City. The experience was unforgettable and, guys … episode 1 is spectacular.

I was invited by HBO and Magic Leap to ride the HBO luxury bus, the Dragon Wagon, from Boston to New York City.

Then, it was time to file into Radio City Music Hall to watch episode 1 of season 8.

After two hours of playing trivia games and rewatching some of Game of Thrones’ most pivotal episodes-

-we stopped at HBO headquarters where food was served and Urban Decay artists offered us Thrones-themed “touch ups.”

We then headed for the red carpet at Rockefeller Center. While not every actor chose to greet fans, the vast majority did, including:

So.

I’m not allowed to disclose plot details or anything even remotely resembling a spoiler. So, I’ll just say this: episode 1 is exactly what I hoped it would be. It wastes no time in giving us those moments we’ve been anticipating but it also artfully incorporates callbacks to earlier seasons, which serve as poignant yet thematically satisfying reminders that this is the beginning of the end.

Inside HBO's star-studded world premiere and after-party for the final season of 'Game of Thrones'
Quote
HBO brought winter to New York City with the eighth and final season premiere of "Game of Thrones" at Radio City Music Hall. INSIDER was there from the very start of the red carpet all the way to the last call at the bar for the official after party (and yet another party after that one).

Sean Bean and Mark Addy sat together to enjoy dinner and the party, giving us a swell of emotions thinking about Ned Stark and Robert Baratheon's lifelong friendship. 

Around midnight, the party wound down and people started returning to their now-pumpkin carriages to whisk them back home.

But most of the cast and crew headed to after-after-party at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel bar overlooking Central Park. INSIDER tagged along for one last round of drinks with the stars.
