Game of Thrones Prequel

Watchers on the Wall reports that the prequel is looking to cast real twins to play a set of twin sisters in their 20’s. Another role is looking for a man in his 70’s who is a “genuine Scandinavian, Eastern European or German actor,” which Watchers speculates could be a Wildling-esque character, given Game of Thrones previous casting decision for the tribes beyond the Wall (which err, wouldn’t be built by the time of this prequel anyway).
