HBO Exec Jay Roewe is helping drive television’s Golden Age—and strengthening the COM-LA connection
About an hour’s drive north of Belfast, Ireland, two rows of ancient beech trees have formed a gnarled tunnel above a country road. The Dark Hedges, as the picturesque formation is known, took two centuries to form—but just a few seconds to become world-famous. In the second season of Game of Thrones, Arya Stark, a key figure in the series, flees her home. Seated on the back of a horse-drawn carriage, she travels down the misty lane as the camera pulls back, dramatically revealing the trees. It’s a haunting, surreal setting that fits right into the fantasy series’ imagined world of Westeros.
