Will We See Ellaria Sand Again
This interview contains plot revelations from Game of Thrones flavour 7, episode three, "The Queen'south Justice"…
Ellaria Sand is not dead. She might go along to survive for months or even years … unfortunately for her. All the same we won't see Ellaria on Game of Thrones again, confirms extra Indira Varma, who played doomed Prince Oberyn's hot-headed lover.
Ellaria and her Sand Snake daughter Tyene were tortured by Cersei in Sunday's aptly titled episode, "The Queen'due south Justice." The agonizing scene showed Cersei poison Tyene (Rosabell Laurenti Sellers) with a laced kiss (just as Ellaria fatally poisoned Cersei's own daughter Mycella last season). Then Cersei verbally tormented a bound and gagged Ellaria, who was left helpless and unable to practice annihilation except watch her daughter slowly perish. The fate of Ellaria Sand is one of the darkest character endings on Thrones notwithstanding and will be ane that's largely left to our imagination.
Beneath Varma (Rome, Exodus: Gods and Kings) spoke to EW near her riveting performance in her character's final scene:
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: How did you lot find out nearly Ellaria Sand's fate?
[Showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss] called me, but I kind of knew already. Obviously in that location's lots of trimming going on. It'due south all coming to a caput and yous have to go rid of less important characters that the audience hasn't had the take a chance to invest in as much. So I was expecting it. I wasn't heartbroken. And I was like, "As long as I die on screen…" and they were similar "Yep!" But of course I don't die on screen. I stay live, I'm simply not going to reappear. I recollect it'southward really clever.
It's more haunting, I think, doing information technology this way…
It's really dark. What I dearest about this scene is you're reading information technology and from one sentence to the next you lot don't know what'south going to happen — how Cersei is going to treat her victim. I just thought the delivery of that data was so clever. Especially since the kiss comes before the information.
What was it like shooting that scene?
It was hard work. A lot of blood snot and sweat and tears. Myself and Rosabell had to be shackled. They very kindly put some felt inside the handcuffs so we didn't get bruised and dilapidated — though we concluded up doing that anyway considering your interim takes over. The shackles kept coming off and so they had to tighten them and so nosotros couldn't become them off at all. At the end of the day I was like, "I'm stuck! I need somebody to help me!" and they had to cut me out of them. All in a mean solar day's work.
It probably helps getting into Ellaria's mindset past having something to pull against.
Definitely, whatever human being that is trapped by somebody else — not but trapped just her girl is trapped too. Every bit a parent, all I need to practise is recollect about that and yous get [into that mindset] equally an actor pretty quickly. But the older I go the more I only leave myself alone in my piece of work. I don't demand to crush myself up before a have. I just go there in my thoughts. I don't have to think most my expressionless true cat or anything. I similar that sense of play.

1 of the great things nearly the scene is it plays with audience expectations and allegiances. Because, I think, we're naturally inclined to feel sorry for Ellaria and Tyene, the victims. Merely your character, as Cersei rightly points out, did murder her innocent young daughter, and your daughter is a killer too.
I hope people feel that. Ellaria hasn't had quite the screen time so people are inevitably more than invested in Cersei. But people were and then in honey with Oberyn [Pedro Pascal] and there's a scrap of that residue carrying on, and obviously, nobody wants to encounter somebody's child killed in forepart of them — that'south every parent's worst nightmare, beyond worst nightmare. It's quite a claiming from an acting perspective to exist interesting with no lines. It was fun trying to play anger resentment and impotence in that situation, only still wanting to fight. At what point do you surrender wanting to fight? It's a human being paternal instinct where you merely desire to keep fighting for your kid.
What was your favorite scene?
Information technology'southward really difficult to reduce it to one moment and the line is blurred between what happened on phase and off. I loved all the work I did with Pedro, but I also loved working with the girls. I loved Pedro's big fight in flavor 4, information technology was wonderful to sentinel how brilliantly they make a fight and how each stage of information technology is covered. Nosotros were playing Scrabble behind the scenes, it was great fun. And I loved doing the kickoff scene, the brothel scene, it was simply and then decadent — my life isn't similar that. The filming in Alcazar Palace [in Espana, the setting of Prince Doran Martell's Water Gardens] was amazing, only pretending to be this powerful woman in this crazy family is astonishing. And the scene with the three girls with the character with the scorpion on his head when he was buried up to his cervix — I simply remember they wanted to do this extra shot of his caput in the foreground with the scorpions all over him and I was and then anxious about the scorpions I kept forgetting my lines.

Did you become to keep anything from the bear witness?
I have kept Ellaria's leather wristband. It's getting harder for them to give actors stuff because everybody wants something from the prove. I was and then lucky to be part of this incredible beast and I'm still marveling at how generous and professional and yet totally united nationsprofessional information technology is — considering they're always having a skilful time. David and Dan are and so generous and clever in their storytelling, it's so masterful; they run this crazy massive fleet with such good humor. It'southward an ensemble piece that's constantly creative and fun. I recollect that why it's lasted so long
What'south next for y'all?
I just shot a one-off drama from Channel four called The Truth. I remember it's actually good actually. Director-writer David Nath was originally a journalist and information technology's about a mother who is divorced and has a new boyfriend who'due south younger. And she has a nearly 12-twelvemonth-old daughter and a ten-year-old male child and after she drops the kids off at school she gets an anonymous text message maxim, "I'g concerned about your young man's relationship with your daughter." And it'southward what happens over the next 48 hours. Once somebody is defendant of that, even if unfounded, information technology's an accusation that can taint somebody for the remainder of their lives. It's basically an emotional journey of what happens to this adult female as she becomes more and more paranoid. That was astonishing. And then I'm probably doing Melrose for Heaven Atlantic, which Benedict Cumberbatch is producing, based on the novel and as well a film, just that hasn't been signed off yet. Then I'm busy-busy, which is great.
