"Game of Thrones" Season 7 shooting has begun in Northern Ireland where the cast and crew are ready with weapons to shoot the battle scenes.
Following their return from the Emmys, GoT actors are back to work for the sequel of the HBO fiction series. The characters were spotted in the Northern Ireland shooting for one of the biggest battle plots in the scripts.
Jon Snow (Kit Harrington) left his makeup room wearing a loose-fitting grey top with his special long tresses tied back. He accompanied his top attire with a black draw-string neck and baggy trousers. The Daily Mail stated that Snow looked ready to work for his next character. On the other hand, Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner) was seen in a dark green dress with her red hair tied up.
The show, according to Independent, requires almost 3,000 new cast to film the battle scenes, which is being considered quite costly seeing the number of horses also to be included in them. The production has already begun, but reports are claiming the high expenses is becoming a major concern for the channel. As a result, there are speculations of the channel harsh decisions to be taken keeping in mind the cost of the series.
"Game of Thrones" is one of the most popular shows worldwide and hence the expectations of people relating to the show are huge. In that scenario, it looks like HBO's consideration of cost cutting in the show must be rumors and nothing else at this stage.

The show received three awards on the televised version while grabbed others off air.
