“Game of Thrones” star Kit Harington claimed in a recent interview that there is an unreleased pilot of the hit HBO show.
Harington went into the details during an interview with The Guardian, and fans of the show will love it.
He said the following:
Game of Thrones’ first incarnation wasn’t promising, however, and the pilot turned out to be a dud. “They made a lot of mistakes. It didn’t look right, didn’t feel right, had nothing different about it.” In it, the nascent Jon Snow was wearing a wig, was clean-shaven and made use of the baby face Harington hides under his beard. He claims that hardly anyone has seen that pilot, not even him, but that the show’s creators, DB Weiss and David Benioff, have a copy they use to keep him in line. “They say, if I ever piss them off too much, they’ll release it on YouTube. Every now and then, they send me a screengrab, just as a threat.”
I can’t imagine how much money some people would pay for this episode to be released, but I know it’d be a lot. It shouldn’t matter if the initial pilot is complete gold or absolute garbage. Nobody ultimately cares about that.
We just need to see it like a drug addict needs a fix. The internet would come crashing down if the “Game of Thrones” executives just dropped that episode without any kind of warning. People would collectively lose their minds.
Please, for the love of everything that is righteous in this world, release this episode.
