I've read from sources that the premiere of GOT is getting raves. They're deviating from the books apparently and to great effect. Hope this isn't just a false bird throwing around bad information.

Bear in mind that hugely popular shows like this can be overrated. It should still be good though.
Luckily, FukunaGOD jumped off knowing the mess the show would become without good actors and without him to instead focus on his movie Beasts of No Nation - Netflix' first theatrical release which is going to get awards season treatment!
They asked him what his experience was working on Knights of Cups, and he literally said that Malick doesn't know what the *beep* he is doing. He films a bunch of scenes and only afterwards he decides about what his film is going to be about.
Kinnaman said he worked on a 17 page monologue he worked 3 weeks on, and when he arrived on set Malick said "If y'all have something to say... it's not important what y'all say, but I just want a slice of life."
Kinnaman also said the script was utterly worthless. He hired 3 acting coaches just to decipher it. The dialogue was made for someone out of the 1940's, and that nobody uses such language anymore. There was also no background information at all and you just had to figure it all out yourself.
He wasn't too fond about Christian Bale either. He said Bale just pissed off when Kinnaman was about to do his dialogue with him, and that he embarrassed him in front of 200 extras. He never felt so embarrassed in his whole life he says.
He completely had it after a while when he was filming a scene, and Malick was 30 metres away from him filming a pink dog instead he says. That's when Kinnaman said '*beep* this *beep* - and that's the last they heard of him on the set of Knight of Cups.
Kinnaman says he probably won't be in the movie, and he's happy about it, otherwise he would've taken part on the most pretentious piece of *beep* ever. Kinnaman had something positive to say about Malick though: "He made good movies like The Tree of Life and Badlands, but it's better he takes a 10 year pause between every movie"
