《權力的遊戲》最終季定檔上半年！你喜歡嗎？
The final season of Game Of Thrones' is set to debut in the 'first half' of next year, according to Casey Bloys, HBO's programming president.
HBO節目部負責人凱西·布洛斯說，《權力的遊戲》最終季將於明年上半年首播。
Speaking at the Television Critics Association summer event on Wednesday in Beverly Hills, California, he adeptly avoided confirming any more about the highly-anticipated eighth season of the hit fantasy show.
週三，他出席在加州貝弗利山舉行的電視評論家協會夏季活動時，巧妙避開了對這部備受期待的熱門美劇第八季的更多透露。
But, speaking to Deadline, he said of the upcoming prequel, currently using the working title The Long Night, that: 'There are very strong female characters but it's an ensembles, there is men and women.’
但他同《Deadline》網站談到了即將上映的暫定名字爲“長夜”的這部前傳，“有非常強大的女性角色，但這是一個羣戲，男人和女人都是如此。”
Discussing the show further, Bloys added: 'Jane [Goldman, the prequel's scriptwriter] is a very good writer, we don't want to limit her to writing female leads. There are a lot of very complicated leads in [the pilot].’
在進一步討論這個節目時，布洛斯補充道：“簡（高曼，前傳編劇）是一位優秀的編劇，我們不想限制她寫女主角。”在試寫的劇本里有很多非常複雜的主角。”
Of writing the new series, he noted that Goldman 'did not go into that wanting to answer anything about Game of Thrones; it was the story that spoke to her.’
談及撰寫新系列，他指出高曼“並沒有投入於回答《權力的遊戲》的任何問題；是這個故事告訴了她答案。”
Bloys confirmed that the prequel will begin production in 2019, refuting claims that filming would begin in October of this year, as he said: 'When I say we're hoping to go into production in 2019, we have to find a director, we have to cast it.’
布洛斯證實，前傳將於2019年開始製作，這駁斥了今年10月開始拍攝的說法，他說：“在我說我們希望在2019年投入製作的時候，我們必須找到導演，我們必須選好演員。”
HBO have previously described the spin-off as: 'Taking place thousands of years before the events of Game of Thrones, the series chronicles the world's descent from the golden Age of Heroes into its darkest hour.
HBO此前曾將這一衍生劇描述爲：“發生在《權力的遊戲》發生數千年之前，該系列記錄了黃金的英雄紀元時代進入最黑暗時刻的過程。
'And only one thing is for sure: from the horrifying secrets of Westeros's history to the true origin of the white walkers, the mysteries of the East, to the Starks of legend … it's not the story we think we know.'
只有一件事是肯定的：從維斯特洛歷史中恐怖的祕密，到異鬼的真正起源，從神祕的東方大陸到傳奇的史塔克家族……這不是我們自以爲知道的故事。”
