Ahead of the highly anticipated return of the world’s most talked about show, we can confirm that the World Premiere of? Game of Thrones will be held in London for the first time. The star-studded red carpet event will take place at one of Britain’s most recognisable and historic locations, the Tower of London.

The World Premiere, on the evening of 18th March, will welcome a host of Game of Thrones stars, and marks the first time that the world premiere has been held in Europe.

Since launching in 2011, Game of Thrones has become a bona fide TV phenomenon, keeping viewers guessing with a string of headline-making twists and turns and, as is tradition, the producers are keeping tight-lipped about what’s to come. Respecting the impenetrable cloak of secrecy that shrouds the show, there couldn’t be a more fitting venue than the high-security home of the Crown Jewels, one of the world’s most famous fortresses, to showcase the opening episode of Season Five for the first time anywhere.

In addition, we’ll also be offering a chance for 25 lucky fans to win a pair of tickets to the premiere. Details of the competition will be announced soon.

Director of Sky Atlantic in the UK, Zai Bennett said: “Game of Thrones is the must see show of the year and a massive show for Sky Atlantic so I am delighted we will be hosting the World Premiere for this epic show at the Tower of London. I can’t think of a more fitting venue to give what promises to be another unmissable series its big launch.”

Season 5 of Game Of Thrones starts on 13th April at 9pm and Sky TV and NOW TV customers who have missed – or want to revisit – the series to date can catch up with Game of Thrones S1-4 TV Box Sets available On Demand with Sky and NOW TV from 1st March.

The World Premiere of Game of Thrones’ fifth season takes place on Wednesday 18 March, and we’ve got 25 pairs of tickets to give away to this exclusive, invite only event!

She rocketed to fame playing Game of Thrones character Sansa Stark. Ahead of the show’s fifth season, Sophie Turner talks plot spoilers, fashion and the sage advice she got from her Game of Thrones co-star Natalie Dormer

 

Sophie Turner was just 14 years old when she was cast in HBO’s mega-franchise Game Of Thrones as the spectacularly braided, flame-haired Sansa Stark (cool fact: in real life, she’s actually blonde). Despite a pretty unusual adolescence juggling the demands of international fame, the 18-year-old we meet at InStyle’s shoot is an endearingly normal and softly spoken sort, thrilled that she’s getting to try on our rail of eccentric granny-chic-themed Miu Miu, Mary Katrantzou and Peter Pilotto. ‘I would wear all of this in real life – if I was brave enough,’ she laughs.
Warwickshire-raised Sophie – who says her acting talents stem from an am-dram-loving grandpa – has survived all the shock character kill-offs that have become a Game Of Thrones trademark and will return next month in season five of the show. There are some other exciting new projects coming, too, including a part in action-comedy Barely Lethal with Hailee Steinfeld and Samuel L Jackson and a starring role in a new Mary Shelley biopic. Does this mean she’s going to be hanging up her Thrones cloak soon? We know, she’d have to kill us…

 

So, we’ve gone pretty wild with the fashion today… ‘I kind of love it. It’s like I’m a collector of curiosities and I’ve stashed tonnes of it in this quirky, crazy little house. It’s very different to any other shoots I’ve done.’

 

Anything you’ve spotted on the rail that you love? ‘The military-style vintage jacket. I think 
I could get away with that. I probably wouldn’t wear the incredible Miu Miu heels though, as I’m clumsy enough in flats.’

“Game of Thrones” is known for shocking moments, but it appears those are nothing compared to what’s coming next. Speaking with HuffPost Entertainment about the new “Game of Thrones” box set, “Game of Thrones: The Complete Fourth Season,” actress Sophie Turner hinted how Season 5 takes things to a whole new level.

“There’s some massive moments, perhaps even more shocking than the Red Wedding type of thing. There’s like a lot going on this season,” Turner, known in the Realm as Sansa Stark, said. “There’s also, you know, a lot of blood, a lot of death. And a lot of people kind of come far. And there are a few familiar faces around as well.”

In addition to teasing Season 5, Turner also talked about great moments to check out on the “Game of Thrones” Season 4 DVDs, opened up as much as she could about her upcoming traumatic scene and even revealed the surprising name at the top of her “Game of Thrones” death list.

How was it finally watching Joffrey die?
To be honest, for me, it was very bittersweet. It’s like a terribly triumphant moment for everyone else who’s, you know, watching the show, and they wanted the character to die so much. It’s bittersweet for me because, yes, I’m happy for Sansa that he finally dies. But also I think, you know, Jack Gleeson was such a wonderful person to be able to play off and I’m really gonna miss him. But also, I think the viewers are going to miss him. I mean, they all loved to hate him.

If you had a death list like Arya, who would be on it?
Top of the death list … you know what, Daenerys is quite a threat, I feel. I love Daenerys, but for my character’s sake she’s a threat. She’s got dragons, so she has to go. Actually, no, the dragons have to go.

Aw, man. I love the dragons.
I know, who doesn’t? But they’re kind of scary if they’re not with you.

Was it awesome smacking Sweet Robin?
You know what, that was improvised. No, I’m kidding. Yeah, I just wanted to smack the kid. [Laughs] No … I mean that was awesome for me because I’ve been the one slapped around so much on this frickin’ show that I felt like I wanted to do it anyway. So I really wanted to give him a good one. There wasn’t really a huge amount of preparation. I mean just a lot of safety in terms of eyes and [how] to smack, like, a 12-year-old child in the face. But I can certainly find the anger for Sansa. He was such an annoying little kid.

For sure, that was a great snow castle he wrecked. Did you help put it together?
I wish I put that together. That was the most impressive snow castle I think I’ve ever seen in my life. I think they had an actual stone structure underneath, and they just covered it in salt, so it wasn’t actually a real snow castle.

Are you creeped out by what’s going on with Sansa and Little Finger?
I kind of love the storyline. I mean, for some viewers, it’s very creepy, but that’s kind of what it’s supposed to be. It’s supposed to be this very messed up, twisted relationship in which Sansa knows she can manipulate Little Finger to get what she wants, and he can do the same with her. And together they create this amazing kind of tag team. And, you know, to outsiders, it’s very messed up and strange, but to her it’s the only way she can get what she wants, and finally she has that power, so she’s gonna use it.

What was it like filming the kissing scene with Little Finger?
You know what, Aidan [Gillen] is not a bad-looking guy. I’m not going to object to that kind of thing, and I like him. I mean, it’s kind of weird because he has a daughter who’s, like, a year younger than me, so that was pretty strange. But I think it was probably more awkward for him than it was for me. I mean, I’m used to having relationships on the show with older men, so it wasn’t too much of a change […] It was a very strange day on set. It was handled very well. You know, he was very gentle with me about it.

With this new look, is this a new era for Sansa?
This thing about this whole change for her, changing the dark hair and changing the structure and the color of the dress, was a very conscious decision for her to kind of get away from her mother’s Tully roots and really, you know, form something of a House of her own. She wanted to completely change everything everyone has ever known about her. So it’s just like a massive transformation. There’s no Sansa left behind, and I think not just in the way that she appears but in the way that she’s thinking now. How she’s become this, like, massive manipulator in a way.
