‘Game of Thrones Season 6' Spoilers: Scenes To Get Bloodier; Pilot Episode's Drastic Death Part Cut?

John Standing just recently revealed that a dramatic death scene between Queen Cersei and Jon Arryn has been cut from the upcoming pilot episode of "Game of Thrones Season 6."

The British actor, who appears as Jon Arryn's corpse in the TV series, just recently explained to a Spanish fan-site Los Siete Reinos that the removed death scene was dramatically filmed.

"The scene was lunatic and inevitably cut to nothing, but Lena Headey, who plays Queen Cersei, was adorable, just the best," Standing said.

Apparently, the actor was instructed on that scene by Tim Van Patten, director of the pilot episode.

There, the filmmaker said: "I want you to get out of your bed and crawl across the room and put your hand up and take the bottle of ink as if you're going to write something. The bottle will come crashing down and there will be ink all over you and the queen will come in and she'll stamp on your hand and you'll die."

"Game of Thrones" fans said that it takes a cast-iron stomach to sit through some of the scenes of the series, as it shows violence and cruelty.

As recalled, many critics questioned the scene where Sansa was raped by Ramsay Bolton on her wedding night, as where the makers of the series were accused of relying to excessive sexual violence as a plot device for its female characters.

After the controversy, Jeremy Podeswa, director of the episode in which Sansa was raped, told Vanity Fair, that the show was taken aback by the intensity of the response.

"We were aware ahead of time that it was going to be disturbing but we did not expect there would be people in Congress talking about it.I welcomed the discussion about the depiction of violence on television and how it could be used as a narrative tool sometimes and the questionable nature of that," Podeswa said.

Despite of the controversial scenes of the TV series , fans can't wait for the upcoming "Game of Thrones Season 6," which they believe will become even more dramatically brutal.

"Game of Thrones Season 6" will air this coming April.
