LATEST UPDATE: There are frequent humorous passages in Geo Martin's 'Game of Thrones', after reading his most recent journal entry, the reason is obvious...
>Quarry Query: Jun. 25th, 2010 at 12:16 PM
The LARNE TIMES broke the story a "massive castle" being built in an old quarry near Magheramorne for HBO's GAME OF THRONES. The quarry is about forty minutes north of Belfast, near the town of Larne. I can confirm that, more or less. The set being built at Magheramorne will be our Castle Black. Not actually THAT massive a castle -- much of Castle Black will be created in post with CGI -- but it will come complete with a fully operable winch elevator, David and Dan tell me.
Google tells me that "the gobbinsite at Magheramorne quarry is found as a rare filling of vugs and vesicles." I have no idea what that means, but hey, it sounds like it came straight out of someone's fantasy novel. Gobbins, vugs, and vesicles all in one place. I hope they don't attack the castle. Those gobbins are mean sonsobitches.
Let me caution anyone reading this, however -- please DO NOT go rushing off to visit Magheramorne. Quarries can be dangerous places, and construction sites doubly so. We don't want any fans getting hurt. Besides, why spoil the illusion? Castle Black will be best viewed on screen, in all its glory.
(And no, HBO will not actually be building a 700 foot high wall of ice. We tried, but the cubes kept melting).

Very nice picture and thank you for noticing this scoop! I remember reading that Richard came at the latest Bafta´s just after filming Spooks with painted tattoos on his wrists. So no need to panic :)
What a lovely pic. I can't believe we have to wait until September to hear the interview :(
Violet, I was referring to the bumper crop of chest hair visible in Heather's recent photo. Apparently it hasn't been waxed at this point for Spooks9, OR is that the regrowth since the first episode??...pleasant past time to focus on the possibilities, isn't it.
of course, the waxman might've cometh the next day for all we know:) Lucas is supposed to reunite with an old love...hopefully it's a 'warm',,even hot encounter;)
Yes, Musa, the powers that be love to torture us, don't they? Heather must've realized, from all the enthusiastic Twitter questions for Richard, that the embargo would get a bummer reaction from fans.
Did you see GRRM's latest post - he has a crazy sense of humor...love it! All he really needs is a makeover by the designer he recently hired for GOT - and a daily workout routine. Needs to bring his physical appearance more in sync w/his sexy brain;)
Now tell me again. Who is that ugly man in the photo? :-p
Not a good picture to find right before bedtime. I think I know what I will dream abot.
Hope you had sweet dreams, Katarina - If so, we'll get the drool mops & buckets at the ready for your moment by moment description;)
