Meanwhile, filming for Game of Thrones Season 5 is about to start, if Maisie Williams' Twitter account is anything to go by, reports The New Zealand Herald. The young actress, who plays Arya Stark in the popular series, posted a tweet hinting that she was preparing to film the next installment of the fantasy show.

"The modern adornments would certainly look out of place in the show's rustic setting in the fictional realm of Westeros, where Williams' character dresses more like a tomboy who is ready for battle at a moment's notice," states the NZ Herald report.

Game of Thrones Season 5 is expected to air in April 2015, on HBO.
