'Game of Thrones' Season 7 wants a world record for setting people on fire
In news that can best be described as peak Game of Thrones, the creative minds behind HBO's juggernaut series have revealed that they tried to break a fittingly destructive record in Season 7 -- by setting fire to 20 stuntmen.
“In one battle scene we set more stuntmen on fire than have ever been simultaneously set on fire,” showrunner David Benioff told Entertaiment Weekly. “Our stunt coordinator really wanted to get in the Guinness Book of World Records for this.”

“One sequence has 73 fire burns and that itself is a record,” Irlam said. “No film or TV show has ever done that in a whole show, let alone in one sequence. We also set 20 people on fire at one time, which is also a record. I think in Saving Private Ryanthey had 13 on a beach, and on Braveheartthey had 18 partial burns. Because of the nature of our attacking animals, we had the liberty to expand on that.”
We all know that "attacking animals" is Thronescode for gigantic effing dragons, and as the Season 7 trailer demonstrates, there are plenty of potential targets for Daenerys' rowdy kids to flambé next season -- although the most likely casualties are Lannister soldiers, as HBO sneakily revealed in a preview photo.

(It would be nice to think the dragons are toasting some White Walkers, right?)
We'll find out when Game of Thrones returns for Season 7 on July 16.
