The knights of the vale series#
The theme and background instrumental music to the series were created by the musician and composer Disparition. See also: List of Welcome to Night Vale episodesĮvery episode of the podcast includes a piece of music as "the weather", each by a different independently published artist. The podcast typically airs on the first and fifteenth of every month, and consists of "news, announcements and advertisements" from the desert town, located "somewhere in the Southwestern United States." In an interview with NPR, Joseph Fink said that he "came up with this idea of a town in that desert where all conspiracy theories were real, and we would just go from there with that understood." Cecil Gershwin Palmer-the host, main character, and narrator-is voiced by Cecil Baldwin, while secondary characters are sometimes voiced by guest stars or recurring guests-such as Dylan Marron, who voices Carlos. Published by Night Vale Presents since March 15, 2015, the podcast was previously published by Commonplace Books. The series was created in 2012 by Joseph Fink and Jeffrey Cranor. Just not now.Welcome to Night Vale is a podcast presented as a radio show for the fictional town of Night Vale, reporting on the strange events that occur within it. You will get your Blackfish eventually (assuming we get that second season). But some changes of this sort are necessary whenever a book as big as mine is adapted to television or film. This will upset the purists among you, I know. Brynden’s part in the events of A GAME OF THRONES will be filled in part by Ser Vardis Egen, and in part by Ser Rodrik Cassel. The plan, I am told, is to delay the introduction of the Tullys (Lord Hoster and Ser Edmure as well as Ser Brynden) until the second season. That’s what is happening with the Blackfish. Even with such a huge project as ours, there are budgetary constraints that require some characters to be cut, combined… or deferred to later seasons. But, alas, his appearance has been postponed. Some of you wanted to know if he’d been dropped. Since the release of the HBO fact sheet last week, I’ve gotten several emails wanting to know about a role that was not listed - another knight of the Vale, Ser Brynden “Blackfish” Tully, uncle to both Lady Lysa and her sister Catelyn. Let me assure you that, when doing Mord, Bermingham does not come across at all like the jolly, friendly fellow he looks in his picture here.Ī few last words about a part that has NOT been cast.

Bermingham has done his share of television and film as well, but is best known for his work in theatre at venues all over Ireland. Lady Lysa and her son are protected by the knights of the Vale, chief among them Ser Vardis Egen, who will be played by BRENDAN MCCORMACK, whose credits include THE TUDORS, THE LITTLE FOXES, and I HATE MUSICALS: THE MUSICAL.įinally, in the part of the Eyrie’s brutal gaoler Mord, we have Irish stage veteran CIARAN BERMINGHAM. There was some concern that having two Roberts might be confusing. And yes, the character he is portraying was named Robert in the books, but will be Robin in the show.
The knights of the vale movie#
You can catch him in the recent movie GET HIM TO THE GREEK. Lino is an Austrian citizen who was born in Brazil, lives in London, and speaks fluent Portugese. They’ve hit another home run… wait, this is the UK, maybe I should use a cricket metaphor… they’ve whacked a bloody good wicket, or whatever… anyway, they did well, and Lino should perform admirably in the very difficult role of the sickly and spoiled Lord of the Eyrie. The part of Lysa’s son, Robin Arryn, will be played by LINO FACIOLI:Ĭasting children is always challenging, but Nina Gold and her people have done an incredible job so far, finding Maisie, Sophie, and Isaac for us. But I don’t think Lysa’s girth is critical here, and I expect Dickie to act the hell out of the part, just as she did in the auditions.

Yes, it’s true, Lysa Arryn is, ah, big boned, and Kate Dickie is not. You can get a look at her right now in the Starz miniseries PILLARS OF THE EARTH (based on the Ken Follett novel, a great read), where she plays Agnes. And she’s no stranger to the middle ages. In the recent fact sheet, HBO revealed the names of a number of the actors who will portraying characters from the Vale, so I thought I would introduce you to some of them here.Īs Lysa Arryn, widow of Jon Arryn and Lady of the Eyrie and sister to Catelyn Stark, we were fortunate to get the services of the wonderful Scottish actress KATE DICKIE:ĭickie has been acting professionally since 1994, in theater, television, and film. The Vale of Arryn may have remained aloof from the War of the Five Kings in my novel, but it is still going to be a part of the series of GAME OF THRONES.
