Thank you.
Hopefully early summer break I will release Film X. I just need a break from work to gather my thoughts.
Yay! I’ve been waiting so long for this.
Thank you for your kind replies, PM’s and patience. Here is an update:
Update for Film X
Finally I’ve made some major progress. The main achilles heel of Film X was a very VFX-demanding scene I had to pull off to sell the emotional whiplash of the ending - and the one big scene that kind of shifts the entire story narrative as the audience are originally used to it unfolding. In other words; If i didn’t pull of this scene to preferable quality, the entire ending would fall flat and just be another “slightly tweaked” GoT ending that just doesn’t work for me nor the ending I’m going for.
I know I’m always very coy when it comes to these updates, but that is because I want to have some surprises, and a last gut-punch for the audience in good, old GoT-fashion. Hopefully, now with the heavy (and expensive!!) VFX work out of the way, I can go on and finetune the audio mix and some ending parts and hopefully release rather soon.
Also:
I’ve finally found the time to add the series to the IFDB, and I know a lot of you have wanted this for a long time. Please feel free to leave a review. 😃

I legit saw your IFDB listing a few days ago and it made me wonder if it was a sign that the last film was almost done. Then I see this update and now I’m more hyped for this final film. Looking forward to when it comes out!
Any Updates?
Just got done watching it. Great edit overall. I did notice some subtitles missing like at 2:37:10. One thing that has been on my mind is, do you know what the slow piano music is at 59:30. I swear I’ve heard this in your GOT edits before,but couldn’t find it on ytp anywhere.
Cheers, my friend. I’m glad you enjoyed it. I’ll look into the subtitles.
was this HotD film I or II? 😃
Hotd 2. Do you know where on ytp that song is?
It was fate of the kingdoms. Found it.

House of the Dragon - Film II - The Wars To Come
is released, with subtitles.
Major changes from the main story/season:
- Alicent and Rhaenyra doesn’t keep meeting up in secret.
- Rhaenyra complains a lot less.
- Jahaerys and Baela are turned into more active players.
- Corlys have a lot of his scenes re-arranged to feel more included and important to the overall plot.
- Daemon’s story at Harrenhall is re-structured and have more urgency added to it.
- Daemon changes his allegiance back to Rhaenyra from PTSD and guilt, not from White Walker preminition.
- White Walker Weirwood dream is altered and takes place earlier in the story, and is left more up to the imagination than the original season allows it to.
- Fast Travel is restructured so that there is none.
- The pacing is very strict.
Besides from this, the season has been turned into a very intense and paced-up film narrative with a lot of montages to keep the story going and engaging at all times.
Gonna hop on this. Any update on the finale of got?
I think I’ve sent PMs to all whom have requested. Please re-request if not.
Thank you all. ❤️
HotD - Film II is in the works, and with the quality of Season 2 thus far (and the cinematic structure of it) this edit is slowly becoming one of my favourites as I can edit it into something of a “The Dark Knight” of the Game of Thrones Film Edits.
Film X is also closing in on something of a finished edit, although I will have to rewatch and tinkle with the ending for at least another two weeks - many a time - to see how well it works or doesn’t work.
Looking forward to it. You got me all excited to see how it ends.
Update - House of the Dragon
House of the Dragon - The Heir of Despair - Film I
is released and inside the GoT folder.
This has been in the works for over eight months and streamlines the almost 11 hours of HotD into 3 and a half hours with a strong, focused narrative that also removes the weaker part of the series as well as balance the timelines into something cohesive and more understandable.
Please enjoy, and thank you to my girlfriend who has had to endure four different cuts of the film. We settled on this one because it best told the story of Act I without sacrificing one timeline for the other.
I’ll give it a watch tonight after work. Looking forward to this while waiting for the finale!
Cheers, my friend. ❤️
Update
Film X, although not in the nearest of nears, is finally coming slightly together (mainly the ending / The dark ending). It’s important for me to bring a feeling of closure combined with a last gutpunch in good GoT fashion to bring the series out, and after counless attempts and several months I’ve finally structured an ending I’m pleased with and that I find to hit the right, emotional beats.
Therefore I can now continue work on the structure of the rest of the film, before I revisit the ending once more and then finish the audiomix.
That’s great to hear! Looking forward to how it all ends.
News came out that the Jon Snow show isn’t in development anymore. Is this affecting your development of the final film?
Subtitles are now done for Film I and Film II, with rest to follow suit.
@applecore88; IX and X are on a laptop that is being repaired right now, so I’m waiting for it to return so I can transfer everything over to my new computer. Thereafter I think IX will be a few days from release (as I was very close before the laptop issue arose).
Any update on this?
I just got down watching the first seven films (I’m moving over to the GOT Redeemed edit to finish the series while waiting for the final films to come out)
As someone who has never watched the series due to just feeling like how much episodes there are in the series and not enough time to really want to digest it all, this is a good way to watch it. I feel like I didn’t miss too much while being able understand most of the story. I will say that Film 7 (I think 6 too in some parts) had some jarring cuts here and there that I noticed like character teleporting a few feet or being cut off. Something I do like that did turn me off from the series, was the amount of sex and explicit scenes that were in the series. I’ve heard from others that they were there sometimes more unnecessarily than what was for the plot. While they still are here, I find them more tasteful than just put in there for the sake of shock of a checkbox for horny women lol.
My only gripe is the lack of subtitles after the first film. I really wish subtitles were made to help distinguish who was who. With so many characters it took me by film 6 to finally get their names.
Looking forward to the last of the films in the series coming.
