Ah, Vine, Twitter’s microblogging video counterpart that is slowly destroying the way movie studios dole out sneak previews of upcoming films. Well, whether you love it or hate it, HBO is certainly embracing the seven second format with a whole slew of Vine videos teasing the first trailer for the hotly anticipated fourth season of Game of Thrones, which as we learned yesterday returns on April 6th. When all’s said and done, you’ll have 35 seconds of glorious, glorious content, which is also about the lifespan of whomever happens to be your favorite Game of Thrones character at any given moment.
Jon Snow going toe to toe with the Wildlings!
A smoldering pan shot of Daenerys Targaryen and her entourage!
Baratheon bannermen traipsing through the woods!
The probably soon-to-be your new favorite character The Red Viper locked in gladiatorial combat!
Tyrion in chains, which would also be a killer early ’90s alt-rock band name.
There you have it, folks! Are you sufficiently teased? You can see the full Game of Thrones, Season 4 trailer this Sunday at 9 p.m. immediately before the premiere of HBO’s True Detective, which also looks pretty freakin’ awesome.
Are you excited? Let us know in the comments below or tell me in seven second bursts on Twitter.
The third season ends about halfway through the 3rd book of the series if that answers your question.
I’ve read the books, but have only seen seasons 1 & 2. Is there anything here that would be a spoiler for someone who’s read all the books (so far) but hasn’t seen season 3 of the show?
