Game of Thrones Season 8 will usher in an epic battle of large scale and long duration

The "Battle of the Bastards" in the sixth season of Game of Thrones was called a masterpiece by the audience. The production team filmed the battle in 25 days and with a budget of over 10 million US dollars. The upcoming eighth season of Game of Thrones will break this record.

In April this year, foreign media reported that the crew worked for 55 consecutive nights for this battle. According to the latest news from Entertainment Weekly, 55 days was just the length of time for filming the exterior of Winterfell. After that, the entire crew moved to the studio and spent several weeks continuing the battle. "Little Devil" Peter Dinklage said in an interview that compared with this battle, the Battle of the Bastards looked like a theme park.

However, this battle is different from the previous ones because it interweaves the stories of multiple characters. David Benioff, the producer of the series, said that the largest battle actually sounds boring, and the challenge they face is to keep it attractive. The crew has been working in this direction since the beginning, but if the war between the living and the dead is shown continuously for 12 minutes, this goal is unlikely to be achieved.
