Empiezan las preparaciones en Dubrovnik, Croacia. En aproximadamente 10 días comenzará el rodaje en dicho país, y ya están montando escenarios.
Game of Thrones, HBO’s hit fantasy drama, will film partly in Croatia for its second season. The first series was based in Northern Ireland and also filmed in Morocco and Malta. For season two it’s keeping Northern Ireland as its production base, but Croatia will be replacing Malta.
Hrvoje Hribar is Chief Executive of The Croatian Audiovisual Centre: “It’s great to see HBO people working on Croatian locations together with Croatian professionals. From the very beginning our idea was to attract quality projects to our country – in addition to its high budget and popularity, Game of Thrones is an accomplished work of television craft.”

Filming in Croatia will be serviced by Embassy Films. The shoot will focus on historic parts of Dubrovnik and the island of Lokrum for just over three weeks between 18th September and 13th October. The Minčeta, Bokar and Lovrijenac fortresses will be used, along with the Old Town entrance gates. The city’s Dubac quarry and graveyard will be used for set-building. The island of Lokrum is renowned for its rural Mediterranean vegetation.
Croatia doesn’t yet have a filming incentive scheme, although there are plans in place to launch a 20% tax rebate on 1st January 2012. The rebate will be available for features, TV dramas, documentaries and animation.
Although a veil of secrecy has been surrounding the upcoming filming of the HBO blockbuster serial “Game of Thrones” in Dubrovnik snippets of information are slowly leaking out. One of the locations is in the process of being constructed in the suburbs of Dubrovnik in Župa. The chosen location is the site of the future cemetery “Dubac” on cliffs over the Adriatic Sea. The set is currently in the construction process and is under constant protection by a team of security guards.
Other possible locations include sites on the city walls, the island of Lokrum and a few of the palaces in the historic old city. All information regarding the actual shooting and the arrival of the actors are being kept confidential, however it is believed that shooting will begin in mid November. All local extras hired to perform will have to sign a letter of confidentiality to protect any further details coming out before the second series is shown in the spring. The majority of the costumes to be used, both by the extras and the main actors, have already arrived in the city and are in guarded storage in Dubrovnik.
