Update from WotW
Game of Thrones pre-production news is thinner on the ground this year, as the show has pushed filming back until September of 2016. But casting has continued, we’ve heard. As reported back in June, GoT began casting for season 7, looking for a pair of Northern young people for a “a high-stakes scene.”
We’ve heard rumblings over the last couple weeks from our sources that the castings have continued but no major roles have been secured or leaked at this point.
More than just two young performers are being cast, we’ve heard there will be several, but the exact parts are still unknown.
As you can see, mentions of the ongoing auditions are beginning to surface on social media with this posting from the Yorkshire Academy of Film and Television Acting, regarding two of their teenage students:

We’ll keep our eyes and ears open, and share details as they come in!

Even though we're talking about it in the gen thread, I figured I'd leave the recent castings here for quicker reference watchersonthewall.com/variety-new-roles-cast-game-of-thrones-season-7/#more-71967General, in the age range 40 – 55. He’s a senior military officer, and they’re looking for a white actor who uses the British RP accent. The actor is needed for the week of September 6th. Priest, in his 60’s. He’s a venerable priest with moral authority and gravitas. The show is seeking a white actor, using an RP accent, with characterful face for this part. He’s scheduled to shoot one week, from September 22nd. Warrior, in the 35 – 45 age range. The character is a tough-looking bruiser with the attack skills of a pit bull, and the actor needs to be great at fighting. He has a “considerable” amount of dialogue as well. It’s described as an “excellent part for a top-end actor.” Helpful clues in the description? We know it’s not a Dothraki character as the actor for the role is required to be white, and they’re asking for a neutral and non-posh English accent. This role is currently scheduled to shoot across October. Gate Guard, in his 20’s. The character is described as a “Confident, characterful, straight-talking Northern lad with a great face to play across a very excellent series of scenes.” They’re looking someone with wit, timing, and charisma. He’s currently scheduled to film between mid-October and mid-November. City Guard, in his 30’s. The show is casting for a city guard who intercepts a suspicious-looking person on his nightly patrol. They require an RP accent for this one. He’s set to shoot for a week in mid-October. Merchant, in his 40’s. The merchant appears at an inn during a busy evening. They’re seeking a character actor, for a non-combatant role. His appearance is more open, including ethnicity/race. That suggests a character appearing somewhere in Essos- or a place we’ve never been before, since Daenerys is now on the move. This part is scheduled to shoot the first week of November. Lovely Lady. Ah yes, what would Game of Thrones be without its courtesans and nudity. The show is casting for an attractive young courtesan who is sure of her own mind. It’s described as a “good speaking part” and casting notes that full nudity is required for the role. Similar to the merchant, the lovely lady’s physical appearance is open, indicating this role is for somewhere on Essos, or at a new location. She’s scheduled to shoot for one week in early October. Young Lord in his late 20’s. He’s a tall, handsome young lord, and the show is looking for a white actor who uses the RP accent. He’s scheduled to shoot in the week commencing September 20th. Lieutenant, in his 20’s. The character is described as an athletic, physically fit, and disciplined warrior. Appearance-wise, they’re looking for someone not white, with Middle Eastern descent mentioned. This bears the hallmarks of a Dothraki character description. He’s set to shoot several days across three weeks, between mid-September and mid-November. |

More Extras casting - watchersonthewall.com/game-thrones-casting-malpartida-brings-fresh-news/#more-72711"ModExpor International stated in their initial casting call that only 2400 men and 600 women will make the cut in the first day and receive an invitation for further screening. Today, ModExpor is continuing their screenings for men, according to their Facebook. Ultimately, only 450 people from the Cáceres region will have the opportunity to become extras in the new season." Speculation is that it's for a large battle that both the Unsullied and Dothraki take part in |

Fierce Warrior - He’s described as a fierce warrior, 30 to 45 age range, ideally with mixed ethnicity or Middle Eastern heritage. They’re looking for a charismatic actor, at least 6 feet tall with an intimidating, muscular physique. Apparently the character is seen “significantly” over several episodes but doesn’t have much dialogue, only a couple lines. He’s going to be fitted for a long-haired wig (presuming the actor doesn’t have it naturally), so that combined with the ethnicity requirements points toward this being another Dothraki character. The character will be filming in late September, plus over three weeks beginning October 21st, and possibly more after November 22nd. watchersonthewall.com/filming-resumes-emmys-plus-season-7-return/#more-72975
