HBO greenlights A Game of Thrones pilot! (spoilers)
EDIT: Changed the original header to mark this as the thread where spoilers are allowed (but not necessarily recommended...). Created a new, spoiler-free thread for Ice and Fire virgins...
This is awesome... Huge, Huge News Nov. 11th, 2008 at 10:29 PM HBO has given the production order. They will be filming the pilot episode of A GAME OF THRONES. It's just the pilot so far. They'll need to see that before they decide whether to proceed with a full season's episodes. So let's all hope the pilot will kick serious ass. It should. David Benioff and Dan Weiss did a terrific job with the script. And yes, all of you can relax, it's very faithful. Dan and David will be the executive producers for the pilot and (we hope) the eventual series. More details when I have 'em. The news is very fresh. HBO just issued their own press release, which should be up on their website soon, if it's not there already. Winter is coming to HBO. Hot damn. Last edited by keg in kc; 04-25-2011 at 03:58 PM.. |

I'm seriously looking forward to the DVD release. I can't wait to see what kind of behind-the-scenes bonus features they have.

I have not read GRRM's other books, but I agree, it is unique for me to see so much speculation theorizing on a book series. I guess it may have something to do with the fact that it took 6 years for the 5th book to come out, so enthusiasts had ntohing to do but speculate and discuss on message boards and blogs while waiting for the story to continue. And the story has so many characters and subplots that there is much to speculate about, and GRRM has a talent for inserting clues but leaving things ambiguous.
I have read that the Dunk and Egg tales by GRRM are worth a read also. They deal with Westeros, but they take place before Robert's rebellion and the events of ASOIF, so I guess it's a prequel of sorts though the central characters are not the same. I will likely read them after the 5th book comes out and I finish it. |

Ok book readers. Should I finish the first book or just start on the 2nd?
I think that everyone is going to say finish the first book, but I just wanted to check. |
