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.. |

Spoiler!
But I'm still very happy that Dinklage is in that role. He does a magnificent job. Last edited by Frankie; 12-09-2011 at 11:32 AM.. |

They don't make Willow every other year, that's for sure.

At any rate, there is no way any actor, IMO could play Tyrion better than Dinkledge. There is a certain facial characteristic that Dinkledges already has that ties well into the second picture (which is freaking awesome BTW) that might work very well. The only bit of casting I didn't like was Renly. The actor who plays him isn't nearly as charasmatic and commanding as the one in the book. Most of the casting is great though. The kid who plays Joffery even has those "wormy lips" right out of the book. Season 2 Trailer should hit the web tomorrow. |
