HBO 'Game of Thrones' Season 5 Trailer Leaked Online

GOT Game? No, we are not talking about the Super Bowl. We are talking about the other one, which for some is the only one that matters, Game of Thrones.

The trailer for Season Five was supposed to be seen only in IMAX Theatres this week during showings of the last two episodes of "Game of Thrones" Season Four, shown in limited release on the big screen, but that plan was clearly devised by a mere mortal.

The trailer for "Game of Thrones," Season Five, has now leaked online. And, once you watch the trailer below, complete with a shadow in the lower right-hand corner of the screen, you will understand why there are those who believe that cellular telephones, which should be silenced in theatres, should not be allowed in theatres at all.

And then, of course, there are those who say that the "leaking" of trailers is a game in itself, and that the "leak" just creates more interest in the production. As for keeping it quiet, as of this posting the trailer below already has three-plus million views. The official trailer was released on HBO's Game of Thrones Facebook page soon afterward.

For its part HBO has tried to stay ahead of the curve by releasing a video during Comic Con highlighting the additions to the Season Five cast:

Season Five starts April 12, 2015.

If you are one of the few that has not seen it, here is the leaked peek:
