In 2011, HBO embarked on a mega-prospect to adapt George R.R. Martin’s fantasy novels into live-action. A production that started off with grounded ambition soon took flight to become one of the world’s most recognizable and acclaimed series of such genre, at least for most of it. Starring the likes of Emilia Clarke, Kit Harington, Lena Headey, and Peter Dinklage, Game of Thrones went on to rule global charts. However, the process of creating this behemoth did not come easy and did involve certain challenges, forcing changes.
