when did filming for game of thrones start
Game of Thrones The first and second drafts of the pilot script by Benioff and Weiss were submitted in August 2007[39] and June 2008,[40] respectively. Although HBO liked both drafts,[40][41] a pilot was not ordered until November 2008;[42] the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike may have delayed the process.[41] The pilot episode, "Winter Is Coming", was first shot in 2009; after a poor reception in a private viewing, HBO demanded an extensive re-shoot (about 90 percent of the episode, with cast and directorial changes).[35][43]
