Grad Film alum Alan Taylor has signed on to direct upcoming episodes of Game of Thrones season 7. Taylor has previously directed several episodes of the popular series, including the shocking "Baelor" (episode 9 of season 1).
The season 6 finale of Game of Thrones set record high ratings for the show, and left fans eager to know what happens next. Though there is now a year to go until its return, we already have our first big piece of information on season 7 - the list of directors for the upcoming season have been released.
Traditionally, each season of Thrones has had five directors run two episodes each. The list of directors released for season 7 includes four directors, suggesting that this new season will be shorter than those before it (as Game of Thrones' showrunners had already indicated would be the case).
Once again, David Benioff and D.B. Weiss are on board to direct episodes, as will David Nutter and Miguel Sapochnik. Benioff and Weiss are also writing a number of the final hours, along with Bryan Cogman and Dave Hill.
Further south, Cersei Lannister is clinging to her title of Queen of the Seven Kingdoms and has ordered a mercenary army to fight for her claim, unbeknownst to the rest of the nobles. In other words, although Jon, Ser Davos Seaworth, Tyrion and Jaime Lannister and dear old Bronn are important members of the Great Game, the major power of this world rests in the hands of women.

For Game of Thrones Taylor has directed episodes 9 and 10 of the first season and was the only Season 1 director to return for Season 2, where he directed episodes 1, 2, 8 and 10. He also joined the production team as a co-executive producer for the second season.
Taylor's availability for the third season of Thrones was reduced after it was announced that he would be directing the movie Thor: The Dark World for Marvel Studios in 2012. It was initially hoped that he would still be able to direct one episode of the season,[1] but it was later revealed that the Thor: The Dark World schedule would not allow this.[2] Taylor is also directing the fifth installment of Terminator film series Terminator Genisys.
HBO said Thursday that David Benioff, D.B. Weiss, David Nutter and Miguel Sapochnik will direct and Benioff and Weiss along with Bryan Cogman and Dave Hill will write the episodes. They will collaborate on the six-episode, eighth and last season.

When the Game of Thrones season four finale came out in June, the massively popular HBO program was downloaded roughly 1.5 million times in the 12 hours after the show went to air, according to TorrentFreak.
The ABC also quotes Erin Turner from Choice (an Australian consumer advocacy group) who says Foxtel "has an outdated business model" and can only blame itself. She points out "There are few choices. If you want to watch Game of Thrones for example, Foxtel is the only place to go."
This is probably why "only around a quarter of Australian homes, 25 to 27 per cent, subscribe to pay TV, with Showtime included in a more expensive premium drama bundle" according to the mUmbrella media site.
We believe there is significant, credible evidence emerging that online piracy is primarily an availability and pricing problem. Google takes many steps to work with copyright owners to protect the rights of copyright owners online. We would encourage the Government to promote new business models and a free marketplace for legal purchasing of content.
Just recently, I've seen an article indicating that HBO could pocket up to $600 million more a year if the network figures out how to put its content online. This is according to a report from Barclays Capital released in July 2014.
An online subscription service where I can pick and choose my premium content? I'd love to see this happen - and so would the people who set up Take My Money HBO along with online comic The Oatmeal, who tried to pay to watch Game of Thrones and with particularly hilarious (and somewhat NFSW) results.
It would be an interesting test case for HBO to stream direct to Australia - cutting out Foxtel - to see what happens. Would HBO make more money from cheaper subscription downloads than it would from a fat Foxtel contract? We're unlikely to find out anytime soon - the current business model evidently works very well so why undercut it and annoy your business partners? For now.
An international collaboration has been established to critically examine the growing cultural phenomenon of piracy, from the seas off Somalia to Australians illegally downloading music and programs such as the hit HBO show Game of Thrones.
'Most piracy research focuses on the loss of revenue for distributors, yet often ignores the fact companies themselves take advantage of piracy data to gain insights into consumer behaviour and the way informal economies emerge,' says Professor Arvanitakis.
'For example, shoe manufacturers are known to keep tabs on the popularity of counterfeit sneakers to gauge demand for new products, and when their designs are not replicated corporate representatives have been known to visit warehouses for insights into their products.'
'Microsoft Founder Bill Gates even took advantage of piracy by turning a blind eye to the counterfeit production of Microsoft products in China in the 1990s to ensure Windows became the platform of choice.'
'Internet piracy has led to an industry backlash while also driving innovations, such as legal movie downloads and new television episodes delivered direct from the US to Australia,' says Professor Arvanitakis.
'There's even evidence that illegally downloaded content may have an impact on short term sales, but drives people to become long term consumers who change their behaviour to ultimately pay for content.'
The launch of Piracy Lab is accompanied by a new book coedited by Professor Arvanitakis and accomplished Swedish academic, Dr Martin Fredriksson entitled Piracy: Leakages from Modernity (opens in a new window).
