BREAKING BAD And ARROW Directors Tapped For Season Five Of GAME OF THRONES
HBO have revealed the five directors who will be working on season five of Game of Thrones, and while there are some notable omissions, we will see those who have worked on everything from Breaking Bad to Boardwalk Empire and The Flash helming two each.
Thanks to Entertainment Weekly, we now know who will be directing each episode of the fifth season of Game of Thrones. They will each helm two episodes in a row, and the return of the series next year will kick off with Michael Slovis (Breaking Bad). He will then be followed by Mark Mylod (Shameless), Jeremy Podeswa (Boardwalk Empire), Miguel Sapochnik (Fringe) and David Nutter (Arrow). With the exception of the latter - who also helmed The Flash's pilot episode and the now infamous "Red Wedding" episode of Game of Thrones - each of the directors here are new additions to the show. Conspicuous by their absence are Alex Graves, Neil Marshall, and showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss, who previously directed an episode each. What do you think?
