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 don't know about anybody else, but I want Daenerys to come to Westeros, kick some ass, kill some Lannisters (sans Tyrion), destroy some white walker zombies with her dragons, and take the throne for herself.

That's what I love about people encountering this for the first time. Imagine two years from now, when they're watching and thinking back of the good ol' days, Game of Thrones, season 1, the happy days.

So if we're getting one season every year....and there are six more seasons (hopefully they do all 7 books)...does that mean Martin is gonna finish the last two books in six years or are we ****ed waiting even longer for the last season?

There was a particularly difficult problem he had to work though for Dance of Dragons (he calls it the Meereenese Knot) that I hope bodes for quicker progress now that he's apparently resolved it to a degree. |
