The production of the highly-anticipated "Game of Thrones" season 6 is well underway with the cast and crew back on set to make some TV magic. As per i09, a scene from the sixth volume of "A Song of Ice and Fire" series by George R.R. Martin is being filmed.
The scene is said to come from the passage in "The Winds of Winter" that was released back in April. In it, Arya Stark disguised as "Mercy" joins the mummer's group in a performance in Braavos that serves as a cover for the assassination of Raff the Sweetling, one of the many individuals she is tasked to kill.
Meanwhile, Finn Jones, who was tapped to play the role of Loras Tyrell in "Game of Thrones" season 6 is now on set. In an interview with Express Online, the actor talked about the upcoming season down to its finale. As he did, he used the word "shocking" more than once, implying Westeros will be much more unpredictable when fans return to it.
"Game of Thrones is always shocking, so it's never going to stop shocking people," the actor said. "The end of season six in particular is very shocking. It's so difficult to remember it because my head is so in season six, so I can't even remember what happened in season five."
He also mentioned that his character undergoes a "transformation" that allows him to "go a little bit deeper and darker." Jones said that he enjoys exploring the depths of Loras' personality, assuring that fans will, too.
As for "The Winds of Winter," Martin has yet to pinpoint a release date. In the interviews he does, though, he drops clues as to what the sixth volume in his bestselling saga will be all about. For instance, he recently confirmed that Stannis is very much alive in the books.
