More about the launch party and the A&Q

 

 

 

 

...................As I started walking up to the entrance to check in, I realised that I was next to Charles Dance (Tywin Lannister) and immediately became a little flustered as he is possibly my favourite character in the series.
He broke an awkward silence with a simple “Hello there. How are you?”
Without thinking I immediately blurted out "I’m very good Mr. Dance. Can I just say before we go in, I loved you in Last Action Hero."
With a smile he said “I’m glad somebody did. I though it was very silly", shook my hand and walked on inside.
...................
Following on from the screening, everyone in the room was treated to a short Q&A with four of the show's stars including Michelle Fairley (Catelyn Stark), Isaac Hempstead Wright (Bran Stark), Gwendoline Christie (Brienne of Tarth) and of course Charles Dance.

I keep only Charles parts...
 
M: Charles, what do you think makes Game of Thrones such a different experience?
Charles Dance: I think it’s down to the quality of the writing, the amount of money that HBO is prepared to spend and a pretty wonderful cast.


M: That was a pretty wonderful scene where you tore a strip off your son (Tyrion). How was that to film?
CD: I’ve spent most of my time with Peter Dinklage who is the most adorable man and a wonderful actor and after all of those scenes I apologised to him because I treat him like shit (laughs). I mean I say the most terrible things to him. But Dave and Dan are really wonderful writers and we spend a lot of time as actors trying to make a silk purse out of a pig’s ear because not all scripts are this good. But when you have writing of this quality you can put all your energy into making the character believable.


M: I loved the scenes you had with Arya (Maisie Williams). A beautiful dynamic between two people who shouldn’t get on. Can you tell me a little about that?
CD: Well Maisie was just over 13 when we shot those scenes and I’ve never worked with anybody with such knowledge of the medium, such an ability to concentrate for a very long time and an awareness of herself. She’s phenomenal and if anyone’s going to make it in this business it’s her and of course Isaac.


M: But Charles you haven’t had any sex yet. Are you quite by this?
CD: Yes (said with a big smile).

 Question: If you could be any character from the series, who would you be? 
 CD: Well I want to play Tyrion. He’s just the most wonderful part, he’s fantastic


Audience: Personally who do you think deserves the throne? 
 CD: I do (huge laughs around the room)

Audience: We’re used to seeing HBO shows with an American cast. How does it make you feel that Game of Thrones is primarily an English cast and why do you think that is?
CD: We’re cheap. Cheap-er (laughs).

More about Sacrifice movie project

http://aboutactorcharlesdance.blogspot.fr/2013/03/a-film-project.html
Sacrifice prepares for pre-production as lead cast members are announced.

Connie Nielsen, Charles Dance and Rupert Graves are to star in the Hollywood film adaptation of SACRIFICE, the debut thriller by British author, S J Bolton.
The full cast will include Cary Elwes, James Cosmo and Rachel Oliva.
Peter A Dowling will direct.
 SACRIFICE is the story of consultant surgeon, Tora Hamilton, who moves with her husband, Duncan, to the remote Shetland Islands, 100 miles off the north-east coast of Scotland. Deep in the peat soil around her new home, Tora discovers the body of a young woman with three rune marks carved into her skin and a gaping hole where her heart once beat. Ignoring warnings to leave well alone, Tora uncovers terrifying links to an ancient legend that might never have been confined to the pages of the story-books.


SJ Bolton said, 'I couldn't be more thrilled. Peter Dowling's screenplay is as dark and disturbing as I could have hoped and more than does justice to the book. The casting is perfect.'
SACRIFICE is expected to go into pre-production shortly. It is hoped that filming, mainly in Ireland,Shetland and Manhattan, will commence in late spring.

update : add o youtube finally

from launch of season 3

"I spend a lot of time with Peter Dinklage and he's the most adorable man. After all those scenes, I apologise to him every time," said Dance, speaking at the UK launch of season three.
"I have to treat him like s**t. You've only seen a little snippet of the awfulness in episode one."
Dance claimed that the secret of Game of Thrones' success around the world stems from "great writing" and the "amount of money HBO are willing to spend".
"We spend a lot of time as actors trying to make a silk purse out of a pig's ear because not all scripts as are as good as Game of Thrones," said Dance.
"You don't have to waste time doing that on this show."

Got

Dinklage, who so often lends a lighthearted vibe to the series with his wit and snark, is involved in a poignant scene early on that has his Tyrion practically pleading with Dad (Charles Dance) for love and respect, only to be viciously admonished.
