Does "feature film to complete the story" necessarily mean something to be shown in theaters? I didn't read it that way, assumed it means a 2-3 hour HBO grand finale, likely involving a massive battle.

No tv episodes will be $200m. This would be a movie. Its unclear whether it would cover the entire last book or second half, or final chapters etc.

they could start the movie with Tony face down on the diner table with his brains blown all over his family.
then end it

Yes, give me 2 and a half hours of Brienne aimlessly wandering around the dreariest places in Westeros on the big screen please!

I can't even remember most of the people from Dorne. I remember the scene with the blood oranges. Nothing that was said mind you, just the plopping of the over-ripe oranges. Reminded me of taking a ####, which is pretty much what the Dorne storyline is.
Guess this confirms thoughts on Jon Snow

He (Sean Bean) also noted, “And that should happen, shouldn’t it? I’ve definitely got some unfinished business that needs to be resolved there. I’m obviously not Jon Snow’s dad. And you need that to be revealed at some point, don’t you? So Bran would kind of be the one having the flashback, and he would see Ned praying, right? And revealing those things? You never know what those guys are going to do with that. It’s got to be something special. But I’m into that. I certainly would be into that. Print that! Give them a nudge. Hopefully I’ll get a call soon.”

Yeah. Brienne meets him on his way to Kings Landing. He then becomes the High Septon in what's basically a coup after Cercei has the reigning High Septon killed. This did not work out well for her.

He didn't. They were going in opposite directions - him to KL and she spending 47 chapters looking for Sansa.

Of all her boneheaded moves, having the previous High Septon killed may have been her worst. In his place, she gets a militant who's got a fanatical following. In exchange for the Faith forgiving the Crown's debts and the High Septon blessing Tommen as king (something I don't think has been done yet, nor do I think will be done), the Faith gets to rearm itself (outlawed centuries before as they got too strong). Then the High Septon lets Cersei basically walk her own dumb ### into prison.
There's an interesting theory floating around that the High Septon is really
Not sure I buy that, but it's intriguing.

I pictured Areo as kind of Middle Eastern looking.

Me too, but it doesn't really matter. I have no idea who this actor is but, if he's good, it'll be fine. The nice thing about alternative worlds is that they don't have to adhere to whatever bull#### ethnicity rules so many do in our own, even if they're false (I'm looking at you, just about every Anglo-American fantasy author ever who describes all of their characters as "fair of skin").
One of the funniest (& saddest) things I've ever read is the reaction to the casting choice for the character of Rue (sp?) in the Hunger Games movie. People went ape#### because the actress was (still is, I guess) non-Anglo when she was described in the books as being dark skinned.

but they were all equally aged up. this girl looks older than joffrey.
Two of the three have serious potential- they'll be fine.I really surprised there is no mention of Arianne. I guess either Trystane or the Sand Snakes will fill her role.
Also, I alwaysfantasizedpictured the Sand Snakes being a lot hotter.

Isn't she the more prominent daughter? They need to get someone extra hot to play her.I really surprised there is no mention of Arianne. I guess either Trystane or the Sand Snakes will fill her role.

Sounds like he is bearing down on finishing the next book finally. Not writing a show episode this season

Cercei's gettin' naked! 
Cersei's Major 'Game Of Thrones' Nude Scene Is Officially Going To HappenThe Huffington Post | By Bill Bradley
Posted: 09/02/2014 2:24 pm EDT Updated: 58 minutes ago
Warning! This post is dark and full of spoilers.
Your prayers have been answered, "Game of Thrones" fans.
After a lot of controversy, Cersei Lannister's big "GoT" scene is going to happen after all, thanks to a compromise with Croatian film commissioners.
Initially, the film commission, which TMZ reports is heavily influenced by the local church, wouldn't create permits for a pivotal scene in which Cersei is stripped and shamed by the High Septon because it would require actress Lena Headey to get naked in an actual church in Dubrovnik, Croatia. The scene was too important to be cut, so the two sides have now reached a compromise.
HBO will be allowed to film Cersei walking naked in the streets as long as she doesn't set foot in the place of worship. In addition, all nude scenes inside the church will now be shot on a fake set instead.
It's a solution that should please the old gods and the new (and Jaime of course).
Leeroy Jenkins
Footballguy
That's going to happen this season? They will be ahead of GRRM by next season then, no?
(HULK)
(Smash)
This is where your mind went after reading that?
I was imagining Lena Headley naked.

several plot lines the show is already caught up or about to pass.
heck season 5 could easily end with danny flying away on the dragon, jon snow getting stabbed and the sersei walk.
Leeroy Jenkins
Footballguy
They'd be eliminating all of the iron born then, right? Which may not be a bad thing unless GRRM has some type of huge role for one of them.

Euron seems pretty central at this point. Though if the Iron Born get cut, maybe not?

Isn't he only there to get Dany back to Westeros? if that's the case for him, they can just give that to the Martell boy....or Tyrion.

He's been set up as a pretty powerful character and he also has the Dragon Horn. Which at least seems to be a real thing.
ETA: actually Victareon's got the horn I guess.

As long as they cast the Dusky Woman I'm happy.

we think they are doing the golden company plot line too right?

I don't think they could get to the end of ADWD.
They would need to cover/skip
Iron Born (Kingsmoot + raiding + going to Slaver's Bay)
Arya's training
Sansa + Littlefinger
Bran + Bloodraven
Tyrion + Jorah's ordeal
Brienne's search
Quentin's ordeal
Myrcella + Arianne + the rest of Dorne
Cersei v. Margaery
Jaime v. Riverlands
Rise of the Church
Bolton's v Stannis
Ser Davos' quest/search
Jon leading the Watch + wildlings + betrayal
Dany's rule + betrayal
Sam + Gilly + Aemon
That is quite a bit to cover/skip in only 10 episodes.
