I really hope they go completely CGI with the direwolves. Using real wolves digitally inserted into scenes limits what they can do.

I've never seen the Twilight series, but I saw a comment that the wolves in that series were fabulous--no idea how they did it, of course, but hey if Twilight can have great wolves, HBO GoT wizards can figure out great wolves, no?

This is shaping up to be an expensive pilot!

ETA: "Game Of Thrones prequel reportedly has the working title Bloodmoon as the stars started filming the new series in recent weeks ahead of season eight finale.
Stars were said to have started filming, in Belfast two weeks ago for the new series which will follow the story of the Children Of The Forest, according to The Sun.
Naomi Watts was confirmed as the leading role in the series set five thousand years before the original HBO show.
A source told the newspaper: 'Thrones fans will be delighted to hear things have started with the prequel. Those working on the set in Belfast are referring to the series as Bloodmoon.
Producers have put together a stellar cast and it will be must-watch telly for anyone who loves Game Of Thrones.'
MailOnline has reached out to HBO representatives for further comment.

Bloodmoon? Never heard that in ASOIAF before. Me neither. I just looked up the significance of a blood moon in mythology and it seems in ancient civilizations it portended all sorts of evil omens from the rise of demons to the death of kings to the anger of the gods. Perhaps that's what the working title refers to--or perhaps we'll see that red comet in the sky throughout the series and the ancient populations of Westeros refer to that as a blood moon.

Thanks!
I wonder if the decision to go ahead with the Long Night prequel had any impact on the decisions regarding the Others in the main show. If this wasn’t going ahead would we have seen more, got more origin, more motivation? We’ll never know the answer for sure but its an interesting question to ponder

A bunch of mythology (Norse, Roman, Native) connect wolves with the moon, so the phenomenon of a Bloodmoon could be connected to the creation of direwolves or causing direwolves to move from the Lands of Always Winter to the North.

Well the quality of writing has fallen to Twilight levels, might as well have a Twilight like name. Bloodmoon, oh god the casual fans won't show up for this. Maybe they can subvert everything before it even starts. Name already changed after the long night disaster. Even HBO doesn't want to be associated with it. The good news is the two morons won't have anything to do with it.

I'm interested to see what a different set of writers and a completely different time period and setting of the world would be like. With no pre-written books or plots to go on, will they do an amazing job coming up with a fresh new story or will it be too loose and only vaguely entertaining? Part of what we all loved about ASoIaF is that GRRM has a unique writing style. It's apparent the GoT show writers have talents of their own but also not quite GRRM's level of interpretation so I wonder what other writers will do with it free of any prior novels at all.
