News in Brief

'Game Of Thrones' Running Out Of Unkempt Old Men To Cast

May 14, 2012 | ISSUE 48•20

LOS ANGELES—According to insider sources, the future of HBO's Game Of Thrones is currently in doubt, with the hit fantasy series facing a dire shortage of weather-beaten, bedraggled old men to cast. "A lot of the big crowd scenes in season two really depleted the available pool of greasy-haired bearded actors over 70, and for the sake of continuity we can't really reuse them," executive producer D.B. Weiss said Monday, stressing the importance of having a minimum of one new elderly and disheveled male character in every episode of the epic drama. "I honestly don't know what we're going to do. In the third season, we have at least a dozen war room meetings to film, and you can't shoot a war room meeting without having at least two or three poorly groomed old guys with big, tangly beards hanging around." The Game Of Thrones crisis is the latest in a series of casting woes to beleaguer HBO, which in March announced it had already used up its annual allocation of Steve Buscemi.

Surely that was a joke article as they could just use makeup and special effects to make a younger actor look old if needed.
 
HBO release their shows on DVD just before the next season airs (season one only came out March this year.) So it probably won't be until March 2013.
 
Sucks, don't it? How about the Rolling Stones or the Who? They got to be about 70. What about Bob Dylan?
