EVE BEST TALKING ABOUT FILMING THE ROOK'S REST SEQUENCE IN EPISODE 4.
THE ROOK'S REST SEQUENCE IS SO COMPLEX: YOU ATTACK AEGON, YOU'RE BEING ATTACKED BY AEMOND, YOU'RE LEAVING, YOU'RE TURNING AROUND, YOU'RE FLIPPING AND FLYING.
WHAT WENT INTO FILMING IT? WAS IT ALL ONE DAY, OR DID YOU SPLIT THE DIFFERENT SEGMENTS OF THE FIGHT UP?
"My God, one day, are you kidding me? It took two weeks." [Laughs]
"I was on that buck for two solid weeks — just me, because everyone’s doing their bits individually."
"The boys had maybe five days each."
"For me, it was this big block of time because Rhaenys has to span the whole sequence."
"She had to be hanging upside down at one point and then doing spins and rolls; they had to plot each separate move, each little tiny one."
"So I was on that thing for two weeks, and I was in agony."
"I kept asking for more cushions, because I was feeling like my bum wasn’t padded enough."
"It’s a real workout on your thighs and on your core, and I felt very ill-equipped."
"The boys, especially Ewan, love it."
"I remember meeting Ewan the first time in season one, and he’d just done his buck work, and he was sitting outside his trailer and we bumped into each other."
"He was sitting there just kind of glowing, like he’d just taken drugs."
And he said, “Are you gonna do the buck soon?”
And I said, “Yeah, what’s it like?”
And he said, “Oh my God. It’s life-changing." [Laughs]
"And I thought, Oh my God."
