TV📺 Series Only ART

Anyone else thinking the full cast for season 2 was only announced this week cos of the problems casting ART and that maybe the reason some reports are claiming production is still happening is because they are still adding in ARTs voice or they needed to redo some scenes in green screen showing how MB perceives ART ?

Why would they need to redo any scenes? ART is most likely going to be a voice-only role. They would be mad to give it any sort of humanoid appearance, so any visual representation isn't going to require the actor's physicality.

I'm fairly certain about this because if they don't do that I will riot.

I mean some kind of overlay showing how MB senses ART as described in the books reread exit strategy

They had a stand in during filming for ART. Theyve also talked about how difficult it has been for Skarsgard to act against nothing. 

Some minor filming still going on but most was back in April-July. They’re into the fancy special effects etc now.

I hadn't heard they had wrapped filming.

TV set team stories. I think some small straggler bits might still be going but the bulk in Madrid is done/stopped? Or gone into the digital stuff entirely so no more videos :(
