Game of Thrones scripts self-destruct after we’ve shot the episode, says Nikolaj Coster-Waldau

Scripts for the final season of Game of Thrones are designed to self-destruct after the actors have finished filming the scenes.

Game of Thrones star Nikolaj Coster-Waldau has said filming the final season of the popular fantasy show is akin to featuring in a Mission: Impossible film as the scripts of the series tend to “self-destruct” after the actors are through with the scenes.

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau plays Jaime Lannister on Game of Thrones.

The 47-year-old actor, best known for playing Jamie Lannister in the HBO show, said being the last installment, the makers are “strict” this time and the artistes receive their lines in a digital format.

“They’re very, very strict. It’s reached a crazy level this year. We actually get the scripts, and then when we’ve shot the scene - and we only have it digitally - and then when you’ve done the scene, it just vanishes. It’s like Mission: Impossible. This will self-destruct,” Coster-Waldau told Elite Daily.

GOT is known for its unpredictable plots and some of them involve the killing of popular characters at frequent intervals.
