《权力的游戏》第七季或将推迟上映

《权力的游戏》第六季刚刚结束，真爱粉们就已经迫不及待地盼着第七季了。然而《权》剧的制片方最近却表示，第七季的《权力的游戏》有可能会推迟上映。

该剧的制片人大卫·贝尼奥夫和D.B.韦斯本周接受网络媒体UFC Unfiltered Podcast采访时暗示道，《权力的游戏》第七季有可能将推迟上映。在与UFC终极格斗的粉丝们讨论《权》剧时，当被问到该剧的第七季（也就是整个《权》剧的倒数第二季）大概何时能与观众见面，贝尼奥夫与韦斯表示，虽然往年每一季的《权力的游戏》基本都在四月份登陆有线电视网络，但下一季的上映时间很可能会有所推迟。

至于原因，制片人给出的回答是：天气太好，不利拍摄。

虽然第七季的《权力的游戏》尚无确切的上映日期，不过这两位制片人表示，《权力的游戏》一条贯穿始终的谶语便是“凛冬将至”，大家盼了N年的凛冬迟早得被搬上荧幕，因此下一季的拍摄免不了需要更加“严酷”和寒冷的冬天作为背景。

贝尼奥夫在那段播客上表示：“我们这一季的拍摄开始时间比往年晚了一些，因为在上一季的末尾，‘凛冬将至’变成了‘凛冬已至’，所以阳光灿烂的日子就不适合我们继续拍摄了。因此我们把拍摄时间推迟了一些，等到天气比较严酷并且有风雪的时候再拍，哪怕是在一些阳光比较充足的外景地也是一样。”该剧的一些外景主要在地中海周边地区拍摄，比如克罗地亚、摩洛哥和西班牙等地。

《财富》联系了HBO电视台，请其对贝尼奥夫和韦斯的说法做出回应。HBO的发言人杰夫·卡森在电子邮件中表示，现在猜测第七季《权力的游戏》何时上映还为时过早。

作为一部收视率已经极为火爆的美剧，第六季的《权力的游戏》又将该剧的收视率引爆到一个新的高度。光是该剧第六季的最后一集，便有890万人观看了直播或重播，创下了美剧单集收视率的最高纪录。

有人担心近期的英国脱欧事件或将影响到《权》剧的拍摄，因为英国的北爱尔兰地区正是《权》的外景地之一。对此，HBO于上月对外宣称，英国脱欧并不会对该剧的拍摄产生影响。目前，HBO已经签订了下一季的采购合同，不出意外的话，第八季也就是最后一季的《权力的游戏》也将如约与观众见面（贝尼奥夫和韦斯近日在接受采访时也暗示了剧终的走向。）

与此同时，在本周三的这段播客中，贝尼奥夫和韦斯也没有排除《权》剧出前传的可能性。 （财富中文网）

As if Game of Thrones fans weren’t already on the edge of their seats waiting for the next season premiere, the creators of the HBO series say they may have to wait a little longer.

Showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss hinted at a delayed start to the seventh season this week while appearing on theUFC Unfiltered podcast (first reported by the New York Post). Amid a discussion of the writer-producers’ Ultimate Fighting Championship fandom, Benioff and Weiss were asked when fans can expect Game of Thrones‘s next-to-last season to debut on HBO. While previous seasons have premiered on the premium cable network during the month of April, Benioff and Weiss said the next season could actually be delayed.

The culprit? Good weather.

There is no firm premiere date yet, but the showrunners said it will “probably be a little later” because filming for the upcoming season will require more “grim,” cold weather, After all, the show’s longtime tagline has been “Winter is coming” and that long-promised colder weather had to show up onscreen at some point.

“We’re starting a little bit later, because at the end of this season, you know, ‘Winter is here,'” Benioff said on the podcast. “And, that means that sunny weather doesn’t really serve our purposes anymore, so we kind of pushed everything down the line so we could get some grim, grey weather, even in the sunnier places where we shoot.” Some of the series’ locales includeMediterranean settings such as Croatia, Morocco, and Spain.

Fortune reached out to HBO for a response to the comments from Benioff and Weiss. Network spokesman Jeff Cusson responded in an email that it is “too early to speculate” on when the seventh season of Game of Thrones will premiere.

Game of Thrones‘ explosive sixth season set ratings records for an already hugely popular cable series, and the show set a personal record with its season finale, for which 8.9 million people tuned in live or later the day it aired.

There had been some concern among Game of Thrones fans that the recent Brexit could affect filming in Northern Ireland, butHBO said last month that the U.K.’s decision to leave the European Union would not hurt the show. HBO has renewedthe program for next season, and the network is also widely expected to sign on for an eighth, and final, season (which Benioff and Weiss have also recently teased).

Meanwhile, in the UFC podcast released on Wednesday, Benioff and Weiss also did not rule out the possibility of an eventual prequel series that would be set before the events of the currentGame of Thrones.
