It's supposed to look like the rock of Gibraltar iirc. And the castle is entirely carved into a mountain. I dont think they can replicate that easily.

Plus no gold in the mines. I do hope we see it and Storms End since they are ancient era castles over 10,000 years old.

This ridiculously inverse for me. I think we will see Casterly Rock in the show and not in the books. I think we will see Storm's End in the books but not in the show. I'm guessing Tyrion captures Casterly Rock this season, but I don't see where Tyrion will have the time in the books, provided the Prince of Whales manages to live that long.

Storm's End though I'm guessing will be Aegon's base to conquering King's Landing, which is why we'll get further details on it. I don't see any reason why the show would go there, and same reason I don't see why the books would go to Casterly Rock.
