Game of Thrones: The King director ‘COPIED’ Battle of the Bastards in ‘accidental rip-off’

The filmmaker continued: “Weirdly, the only Game of Thrones I’ve seen is the final episode.

“For some reason, I put myself through the abstract exercise of sitting and watching that. It didn’t make me want to go back and watch the rest.

“But I did watch the Battle of the Bastards, try and work out, just with regard to visual effects, how to put the thing together.

“So I can’t claim to have not seen that scene, but it was so completely unintentional.”
