A Tiny Church Is Keeping You From the Sight of Cersei's Breasts

This report, complete with hilariously lurid Photoshop illustration, comes from TMZ. (So adjust your belief-o-meter accordingly.) The online outlet announces in a leering tone:

The scene calls for Cersei — played by Lena Headey — to walk out of a church and onto the streets of King’s Landing in the buff. The scene is supposed to be shot in Dubrovnik, Croatia, where the church has a lot of power and a rigid policy against public displays of sexuality.

We’re told the local film commission will not give producers a permit to shoot the scene because they take their cue from the church — in this case the Church of St. Nicholas.

It seems a little much to expect a church to hand over its front stoop so the producers of a show famous for its sex and violence can film a topless woman strolling outdoors. But this is a headache because, according to “sources,” they’re having trouble finding a workaround and the scene is “crucial to the story line and it’s an iconic moment from the book.”

Feels like a bit of divine justice, given that the show boasts more bare breasts than Bourbon Street but just keeps cock-teasing those of us who’re attracted to gents.
