Game of Thrones script signed by cast member expected to raise $ 9000 in auction
Game of Thrones has had such a dream run that anything and everything associated with it had a huge impact. It has even helped change lives. As reported earlier, the signed copies of stamps were auctioned for charity and on one occasion it even helped in the treatment of a fan. Now, as per Birmingham Mail, the signed script of the show is up for an auction and is expected a fetch a fortune! Read on.
Little did Angela Raybould know that the autographed script that she managed to win in 2015 will change her life five years later. In 2015, Jerome Flynn who played the role of Bronn, donated a copy of the script for “The Children,” the Game of Thrones Season 4 finale, to a charity auction. Raybould had then bought the script for £1,170 (about $1,524.98) at the local pub in England. It was sold to raise money for the Global White Lion Protection Trust.
Now that the script value has increased by leaps and bounds, Raybould has decided to auction the script yet again, this time under Hansons Auctioneers. As per the sources, it is expected to bring in anywhere from £5,000 to £7,000, or $6,517 to $9,123.80.
While talking about her decision to auction the script, Raybould said:
“I’m a huge Game of Thrones fan. I have all the episodes on DVD and my husband bought me Season 8 for Christmas, But because of its value, it has to stay locked away in a safe. It’s time for someone else to enjoy it.”
The script was also personally signed by Jerome Flynn, “To Angela, Thanks for your generosity, Big Love, Jerome Flynn”.
Wow! Talk about having a treasure and then making the most of it!
Hansons Auctioneers were going to auction it on 21st January, however, the exact amount for which the script went has not been disclosed as yet.

Game of Thrones had plenty of social messages hidden in plain sight. Though it may not be too obvious, it was a representation of our own society. According to recent research, the fantasy show is very similar to real-world human interactions. That’s the reason why the show was such a big hit, people could relate to the characters. The series was a big platform to showcase the Domestic Abuse women face behind closed doors. Mother of Dragons, Emilia Clarke (Daenerys Targaryen), has come forward in support of them.

Emilia posted a picture on her Instagram with a heart symbol drawn on her hand. She captioned, “This is something I care deeply about, and a problem that is everywhere, but behind closed doors.
For far too many home isn’t a safe place for those living with domestic abuse. I want to reach out and connect to anyone reading this who may feel scared in their own homes during this time.
At home should not mean at risk – we support you. #YouAreNotAlone.
If you or anyone you know is at risk of, or experiencing domestic abuse, you can leave your home to seek refuge. The police will respond to your calls and support services remain available.
Call 999 if you are in immediate danger. If you can’t speak and are calling from a mobile, listen to the operator and, when prompted, dial 55 to be connected to the police who will help.
If you suspect a neighbour or someone you know is currently experiencing domestic abuse please do call 999 and let them take the situation forward.”

Even though the year 2020 has ruined so many holidays for us, we can’t let go of the festive mood. Christmas is around the corner, and it’s time for cakes, cookies and presents! Festivals are one of the few occasions that strengthen the bonds of a family. It seems like singer Joe Jonas is already a step ahead, gifting his wife Sophie Turner an early Christmas present. The Game of Thrones star was really happy about it and proudly showed it off on Instagram.
Joe gifted her a T-shirt covered in throwback photos of singer and actress Miley Cyrus. The top is emblazoned with the words ‘Hannah Montana’. It features photos of Cyrus both in character as the Disney icon Hannah, who she played between 2006 and 2011, and as herself after she had shed her Disney image.
“Thanks to the Hubbs of the year for my early Christmas gift,” Turner wrote alongside a photo of herself posing in her new item of clothing.
They welcomed their baby daughter Willa in July this year. Sophie has got a tattoo tribute to her daughter. She has the letter W inked on her wrist below the J she already had for her husband.
Send your best wishes to Sophie and her cute little family in the comments below! Merry Christmas to all of you!
Game of Thrones ended more than a year ago. The fans of the fantasy series miss the show dearly. The cast of the show has moved on to newer projects. Kit Harington (Jon Snow) is busy shooting for Modern Love (And preparing for fatherhood as well). Iain Glenn (Ser Jorah Mormont) has completed the shooting of his upcoming movie The Racer.
Directed by Kieron J Walsh, the movie circles around a series of scandals that took place at the 1998 Tour de France. The film was the opening film for the Cork International Film Festival. Though fictional, The Racer shows the dangerous lengths teams will go to for a competitive edge. Iain Glen plays the team’s Mr Fixit with the syringes and vials, Sonny McElhone.
Vertigo Releasing will be releasing The Racer in UK cinemas and on streaming platforms from 18 December. The Racer was due to premiere at SXSW back in March before it was cancelled due to COVID-19.
Empire.com has shared an exclusive clip from the movie along with a poster. Below are some snaps from the clip. Let’s check them out!
