San Diego Comic-Con 2016: HBO’s “Game of Thrones” Hall of Faces (#SDCC #GameOfThrones)

San-Diego-Comic-Con-2016-HBO-Exhibit-Game-Of-Thrones-Hall-Of-Faces-FI

This is part of my ongoing coverage of San Diego Comic-Con 2016. This marked the third year in a row (see 2014, 2015) that HBO hosted a Game of Thrones interactive exhibit at the L Street Fine Art Gallery opposite the Omni Hotel. The Hall of Faces experience proved as popular as ever, with fans lined up one to two blocks.  However, this year had far less on display in terms of original props and costumes, with just one piece of wardrobe each for Jaqen H’ghar, Arya and the Waif from Season 6.

This is part of my ongoing coverage of San Diego Comic-Con 2015. 2015 marks the second consecutive year that HBO is hosting a Game of Thrones exhibit.  This year it is called, “Experience The Realm” (you can see my coverage of last year’s “Survive The Realm”).  Again, it was held offsite at the Omni Hotel in the Gaslamp District, a short walk to the Convention Center.  “Experience” is a good moniker, as they evolved more toward having a primary focus on popular and fun experiences.  While there were some costumes on display again, it was a smaller grouping compared with last year.  Also not making a return was the tattoo shop, though they still provided a free t-shirt to participants on the way out.

The Game of Thrones “Survive the Realm” interactive experience and exhibit was held across from the Omni Hotel in the Gaslamp District during Comic-Con this week, and featured a number of original costumes from the popular HBO cable television series based on the George R.R. Martin novels.  Also featured were green screen opportunities to have animated photos taken with one of the dragons (Drogon) was well (see mine here) as a “Climbing the Wall” virtual reality experience and a photo op chance to sit in the Iron Throne.  For the true fan, there were also professional tattoo artists on site giving GOT-inspired tattoos.

George R.R. Martin Reports Autographed “Game Of Thrones” Screenplays Donated for Charity Auction Stolen

Critically acclaimed science fiction, fantasy, and horror writer, George Raymond Richard Martin, has reported on his website that he believed two original and autographed screenplays from the HBO series, Game of Thrones, were stolen in transit.  As the author of the “A Song of Ice and Fire” series of fantasy novels, upon which the Game of Thrones series were based, the production had sent the two shooting scripts (signed by writers David Benioff and D.B. Weiss and director Alan Taylor) to Mr. Martin to use to auction and raise money for charitable causes.  When he received the parcel from the U.S. Postal Service, included was a pre-printed form letter apologizing for damage to the package and both scripts were missing.
