'Game of Thrones' star posts emotional farewell to hit show
Emilia Clarke paid tribute to HBO's 'Game of Thrones' in an emotional farewell Instagram post. Clarke, who stars as Daenerys Targaryen on the hit show, shared an image of herself from one of the filming locations for the final season.
Just because “Game of Thrones” is ending in 2019, fans of the show won’t have to say goodbye to their beloved Westeros after it’s over.
HBO announced Monday it plans to convert some of the show’s most famous filming locations in Northern Ireland into tourist attractions, Variety reports.
The network is currently planning to open the Game of Thrones Legacy attraction next year, which will allow visitors to explore Winterfell, Castle Black and Kings Landing, along with a studio tour featuring props and materials from the show’s eight seasons.
Additionally, each site will include costumes, props, weapons, set decorations, art files, models and other production materials, along with interactive materials for visitor participation.
"We look forward to opening the gates and sharing the excitement of stepping inside these amazing sets with Game of Thrones fans from around the world.
"The opportunity to celebrate Northern Ireland's pivotal role in the life and legacy of the show and share its culture, beauty and warmth is also a huge inspiration behind these legacy projects," said Jeff Peters, HBO’s VP of licensing and retail, in a statement per Variety.
HBO is working with Tourism NI to develop the attraction, which is said to be “on a scale and scope bigger than anything the public has ever seen,” according to the network.
