You curse you, elusive amphibian! *scratches head*

You got me, I'm baffled. My first guess was that this is a hint on Brienne and/or Melissandre, but...

I'm sure someone more clever than I will figure this out, and I eagerly await their comments!

Sophie Marceau? She played Isabelle, "the she-wolf of France," in Braveheart, directed by Aussie ex-pat Mel Gibson.

Sophie Marceau?

Hmmm, Sophie Marceau played Isabella of France.
And she was working with an Aussie on Braveheart.
Can't rhyme it with the bunny, though...

She was in a movie 'Blue', played Isabella of France, and is starring at the Barbican with Aussie Cate Blanchett, who is playing an alice in wonderland type role. Not sure who she'll play though, maybe Melissandre

It's Gwendoline Christie! She fits the clues.

Sophie Marceau as Melisandre would be amazing! Too bad it probably wont happen :(

Others seem to think it's Gwendolyn Christie as Brienne though. And I concur, now that the facts line up.

The WiC folks got it. It's Gwendolyn Christie as Brienne. They'll need to uglify her quite a bit though...

Gwendoline Christie as Brienne. Photographed as a Playboy Bunny by an Australian photographer, and appeared in the music video for a song whose B-side was 'Queen Isabella'.

Kudos to those who got it on WiC and Westeros.org. That was tough. But Gendoline had been on people's radar for a while.

On a side-note, looks like Gemma Whelan will be playing Asha Greyjoy, except 'Asha' may be been renamed for the series:

Yes, absolutely. I was just coming here to say that.

I think you're right - wow, you guys are good. :)

Gwendoline Christie sure is a tall one, perfect! They'll have some work to do uglying her up though.

Interesting news about Asha too, if the name change is correct. Cheers!

There's a trope for this...

It's called Hollywood Homely. Sure, they'll unpretty her well, but not too well. I have to say if this is the correct one, she certainly works. She's got the height, though I would have preferred they pick someone with a little more meat on her frame.

Still, if this is the one to play The Maid of Tarth, it's a good call. Can't wait to see who they get to play Stannis.

Is Asha being renamed because it sounds too close to Osha?

Linda came across the fact that Gwendoline Christie -- gosh, it seems many months ago that I first saw her tweeting about how she'd love to be Brienne -- has been photoed as a bunny by an Australian artist, has performed at the Barbican, and has sung or been part of Patrik Wolf's B-side "Queen Isabella". And apparently some of WiC's folk have hit on it as well.

Please say it's a score!

Shaking and crying at the thought of Gwendoline getting Brienne. Please let it be so! Don't toy with me, man, I've got a weak heart. >_> Of all the character castings, this is the one most important to me.

Totally agreed. Brienne is the character I want to be perfectly-cast the most. And I loved Gwendoline since I saw her. Way too pretty, but I think they won't uglyfy her much. Look at Tyrion: Dinklage's face is still attractive. I guess they'll leave Gwendoline without make up as she is.

I love her huge blue eyes. I wanted the big blue-eyes spot on. Only her lips would need to be bigger, but so far, she's very much like the character... And that 1,91 height is a deal-sealer.

Weak heart? Give yourself more credit. ASoIaF fans are probably the most strong-willed, ruthless people in all of fandom.

Is it Michael Douglas?

Is it Michael Douglas? Maybe I missed it completely but . . . It's worth a try.

I only had 5 minutes to spend on it so i almost definitely screwed up.

MTV has Christie as the dream Brienne

FWIW, MTV's movie blog did a little dream casting for season 2 and Christie was their pick for Brienne.

BTW, who is the casting director for the Series. She/he/they are genius.
