It can be argued that some of the nudity in "Game of Thrones" veers closer to gratuitous than necessary. However, there is one pivotal nude scene from the books that is critical to the story and a church is working to get it axed from the Season 5 script.

Book readers know the scene as Cersei's Walk of Shame, in which she (spoiler alert) is punished for her sins by the High Septon, a new character in Season 5 who will be played by Jonathan Pryce. She will be shaved, stripped down and forced to walk through the streets naked. According to TMZ however, the Church of St. Nicholas in Dubrovnik, Croatia is trying to stop the "Game of Thrones" producers from shooting the scene.

The church, which has power over the city's film commission, has strict policies against "public displays of sexuality" and although "GoT" has shot in Dubrovnik in previous seasons as a substitute for King's Landing, the church isn't thrilled with this scene. Vulture previously reported that an unnamed scene in Šibenik, Croatia was being sabotaged by Bishop Anthony IV. It's unclear if it is the same Walk of Shame scene since that is now planning to be shot in Dubrovnik.

The producers don't want to cut the scene, however, and a source told TMZ that it is too crucial to the plot. We doubt that George R.R. Martin would be too happy about removing it either after his response to Season 4's controversial and disputed rape scene. After the critical backlash, the "Song of Ice and Fire" author said that cutting the Cersei-Jaime scene would have been "fundamentally false and dishonest" and would undermine the themes of the books, which are partially based on history. If the production can't get the okay to shoot, it looks like they may have to resort to green-screen, which Vanity Fair says would be a tough feat to accomplish for the large-scale scene in question.

在下一季《权力的游戏》当中，将会出现一个「高潮」场景，那就是【剧透瞎眼】瑟曦太后在失势后将被处以裸体游街的惩罚。然而小说毕竟是小说，最近剧组拍摄所在地地克罗地亚当地的教会势力表示他们将禁止这一场面发生。剧组表示他们已经收到禁令，绝不允许Lena Headey光着身子走出圣尼古拉大教堂。

显然比起艾美铩羽而归，剧组更着急的是如何满足数百万观众贪婪的眼睛和原著粉丝日益挑剔的目光。由于教会方面态度十分强硬，剧组内部正在紧急磋商对策。
