Blinkbox Promotes Game of Thrones with Giant Dragon Skull on British Beach

Blinkbox Game of Thrones Dragon Skull

It’s not unusual for explorers to find ancient fossils in the area around Chartmouth on the south coast of England. The village is at the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage Jurassic Coastline, where nearly 185 million years of the Earth’s history is on display in rock formations.

But even the most experienced fossil hunter was forced to do a double take as a dragon skull the size of a bus appeared in the sand. The skull, measuring 40 feet long and over 9 feet tall, is a promotion announcing the arrival of the third season of HBO’ Game of Thrones on TV streaming service Blinkbox.

The promotion was created by London PR company Taylor Herring, and took three sculptors nearly two months to design, construct and paint.
