The first behind the scenes of shooting Game of Thrones season 2 have been released over the last few days and weeks (the top one was just released today!). Richard is only featured in the first video (at 1:46-1:48) but the others are great to watch nonetheless.

HBO is really pushing their new online streaming service HBO Go, which is available only to HBO subscribers. We have already noted that they have added a bunch of cool special features for Game of Thrones episodes. And now HBO has announced that they will stream episode seven of Thrones on HBO Go a week before it airs. The Hollywood Reporter has the story:
The executive [HBO co-president Eric Kessler] on Tuesday also said that HBO Go will exclusively make available the following week’s episode of new HBO hit Game of Thrones right after the May 22 episode, which ends with a cliffhanger that Kessler said will entice fans to immediately see what happens next. The move is part of a plan to offer exclusive content windows on HBO Go to “encourage registration” of users for the service, he said.
A new Game of Thrones trailer has been released containing never before seen footage plus critics praise. You can watch it below.
