Full scene of Elia, Oberyn and Lewyn conspiring together at the start of Act II of the play 🌞
(Elia’s prison cell. Oberyn and Lewyn enter. Oberyn embraces Elia and they bring their foreheads together for a moment)
Oberyn: I will cut the king's throat for this.
Lewyn: Hold your tongue, nephew. My oath permits no treason.
Oberyn: Fuck your oath! You are sworn to madness. Your king has chained a Dornish princess, your own blood. Where is your pride, your passion? You should take up your sword!
Lewyn: Donning this cloak has done more for Dorne than your passion ever could, and the only sword you've mastered is that betwixt your legs.
Elia: Come, Oberyn, the king must live. Else, in Rhaegar's absence, his young brother Viserys shall be crowned, and my children's claim naught as an axe above their necks. I see no insult in my imprisonment; 'tis purely political.
Lewyn: I'll petition the king to let you take them home to Dorne.
Elia: No, there may yet be some advantage.
Oberyn: Sister, you are bound in chains!
Elia: Yet within reach of the Iron Throne.
Lewyn: Elia, I have risked all in bringing your brother here. I fear for Dorne itself should we be caught conspiring against the king.
Elia: (laughs) Uncle, his spider will already know you are here, hoping for some clue of Rhaegar's location. Which is why Oberyn must ride north at once, and spare not your horse. Let the dust rise high in your stead. Speak in every tavern on the Kingsroad of your humiliated sister, betrayed by her one true love, near dead from a broken heart.
Oberyn: Is that where Rhaegar will be found? In the North?
Elia: I doubt it, but let Varys' little birds sing that song while we loose Arthur's ravens. Have Ashara place a scroll with every Dornish bird in the Keep’s rookery. Arthur need not know the full weight of his sister's woes. Her child, conceived in the happy innocence of Harrenhal, was born without breath, the very hour its father, Brandon Stark, breathed his last. Have her simply write, please! Arthur need only see the tremor in her hand to pull at his heart.
Lewyn: You believe Arthur will have stayed within raven’s reach of his sister?
Oberyn: I would. When we next meet, mayhaps you shall be queen. (Takes Elia’s hand) Unbowed…
Lewyn: (adds his hand to Elia and Oberyn’s joint ones) …Unbent…
Elia: …Unbroken.

Sir Ian McKellen dice que interpretará a Gandalf durante todo el tiempo que pueda: ‘No voy a dejar que nadie más se ponga el sombrero puntiagudo y la barba’.
🚨 Sir Ian McKellen dice que a sus 86 años ya se está preparando para el final. 😢
“He tenido que aceptar que no soy inmortal. Cuando eres joven la mu*rte es algo asombroso y fascinante. Pero es inevitable cuando envejeces.
¿Arrepentimientos? He tenido unos cuantos. Nunca es agradable cuando alguien fallece. Pero me reconforta saber que cuando la gente con la que he sido mas cercano fallece, parece que están preparados, como si la recibieran bien.” — Sir Ian McKellen
Ian McKellen acaba de decir que es consciente de que está en el último tramo de su vida, que todos sus amigos están falleciendo, que quiere volver a interpretar a Gandalf y que no le teme a la mu*rte.
El actor llegó a decir que no creía que viviría para ver otra oportunidad de ser Gandalf de nuevo, pero Warner Bros ha dado luz verde al proyecto con Peter Jackson involucrado y han hecho posible que cumpla su sueño una última vez. En 2027 volverá a ponerse el traje de mago una vez más. 🥹
“Seguiré actuando mientras las piernas, los pulmones y la mente me sigan funcionando y no permitiré que otro me quite el sombrero de mago.” - sir Ian McKellen
Te queremos mucho Ian, ojalá nos dures muchos años más. 🥹🥹🥹
