Is the The Game of Thrones prequel is NSFW???
The HBO series, 'Game of Thrones' Prequel 'House of the Dragon' star and a British actor, Matt Smith, 39, revealed the explicit nature of the upcoming series. The story is inspired by the George R. R. Martin's 2018 novel 'Fire & Blood'. He shared,
"You do find yourself asking, 'Do we need another sex scene?' And they're like, 'Yeah, we do.'"
"I guess you have to ask yourself: 'What are you doing? Are you representing the books, or are you diluting the books to represent the time [we're living in]?' And I actually think it's your job to represent the books truthfully and honestly, as they were written."
"Yeah — slightly too much, if you ask me."
The Executive producer Sara Hess explained the sexual contents during a chat with Vanity Fair.
"I'd like to clarify that we do not depict sexual violence in the show, We handle one instance off-screen, and instead show the aftermath and impact on the victim and the mother of the perpetrator."
"We don't shy away from the fact that our female leads in the first half of the show are coerced and manipulated into doing the will of adult men,"
"This is done not necessarily by those we would define as rapists or abusers, but often by generally well-meaning men who are unable to see that what they are doing is traumatic and oppressive, because the system that they all live in normalizes it. It's less obvious than rape but just as insidious, though in a different way."
House of the Dragon premieres Aug. 21 on HBO Max.
