Game of Thrones: Season 7’s Big Events Will Happen Faster
Game of Thrones: Season 7 will have a much faster pace than previous seasons and promises to be quite the intense ride.
Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime Lannister) revealed to Entertainment Weekly he was shocked when he read the scripts for the new season and felt like he was lulled into a completely different pace. “I’m like, ‘Already? Now?! What," Coster-Waldau said. “Everything happened quicker than I’m used to … a lot of things that normally take a season now take one episode.”
Kit Harington (Jon Snow) agreed, reiterating that Season 7 is "quite exciting" and will be "really different than any other season because it’s accelerating toward the end."

Uncharted: Every Director the Movie Has Lost and Why
Most fans of the Uncharted franchise are probably taking a "I'll believe it when I see it" approach to the long-gestating film adaptation. First announced way back in 2009, the Uncharted movie has been trapped in development hell ever since, frequently gaining and losing writers, directors and actors over the years.
The good news is that there's been some recent progress on the Uncharted front. Sony has even established a new in-house development studio called Playstation Productions, one tasked with turning various Playstation franchises into blockbuster films. The bad news is that Uncharted's revolving door of directors keeps spinning. Travis Knight is the latest director to drop out of this decade-old adaptation.
