Controversial Poster for Second Season of Game of Thones Rears Head

Mar 16, 2012

A new yet controversial promotional poster for the HBO series Game of Thrones is to be revealed at WonderCon in Anaheim, CA this March 16-19. While eyebrows are being raised for some, others are losing their heads. Literally…

The poster depicts actor Sean Bean’s head on a pike and some people aren’t comfortable with the image. I can’t say it’s anything more graphic than I’ve seen on movie posters through the years so I’d certainly be one to line up at the HBO booth at the convention to have my own head visually depicted on the spear. Or at least that’s the game plan for the cable giant as it looks to promote the second season of the George R. R. Martin fantasy series; visitors to WonderCon can have their own head on the poster and take it home.

Season two of Game of Thrones begins April 1st – No foolin’!
