Yep, that’s Notre Dame, not Westeros. And it’s far from the only familiar landmark in the video, which includes oddly modern skyscrapers.
I’d love to see a series set in a fantasy world that has evolved to the same technological stage as ours, but that isn’t what’s happening here. Just an artsy metaphor again.
The way it ends is cool, though (if slightly spoiled by the title and selected still of the clip). Check it out after the jump.

About The Author

Thompson has been writing professionally about movies and pop-culture since 1999, and has also been an actor in some extremely cheap culty and horror movies you will probably never hear much about (he is nonetheless mostly proud of them, as he met his wife on one). As editor of The Robot's Voice since 2012, he can take the blame for the majority of the site's content, all of which he creates because he loves you very, very much. (Although he loves nachos more. Sorry.) Prior to TRV, Luke wrote for publications that include the New Times LA, Los Angeles CityBeat, E! Online, OC Weekly, Geekweek, GeekChicDaily, The L.A. Times, The Village Voice, LA Weekly, and Nerdist
