Game of Thrones: The Last Watch shows viewers the herculean effort that went into bringing the world of Westeros to life in studios, fields, and the car-parks of Northern Ireland. With unprecedented access, the film will follow the crew and cast as they deal with extreme weather, looming deadlines and a “fandom hungry for spoilers.”
Get ready for an emotional, funny and heartbreaking story of creating a world and having to say goodbye to it. Game of Thrones: The Last Watch is Finlay’s eighth feature film and is produced by series creators David Benioff, D.B, Weiss and many others.
