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.

That picture is from the nerd fear article. Here's a link to the list (my favorite nerd fear on the list was that our kids will like the prequel star wars movies better than the original trilogy):

http://www.dorkly.com/article/26731/...rd-fears-today

Here's the quote about GRRM:

If I had to describe George RR Martin, I would say something like “HIV-Positive Santa Claus” or “Gandalf After Getting Kicked Off ‘The Biggest Loser’ For Trying To Eat His Own Beard.” Neither of those things are sterling pictures of good health exactly, but they do more or less accurately describe the overweight, rapidly-aging fantasy author who still has two books left to complete his epic A Song of Ice and Fire saga. Not that he’s going to die tomorrow or anything, but time is not on George’s side here – and that’s the one thing he really needs. Maybe if he didn’t take 5 years apiece to write the previous two books in the series, we could be a little more optimistic. But since the series has expanded from a trilogy to a heptalogy (seven book series), who knows how much more George could stretch it out? He even recently announced he’s not going to even START writing the sixth entry – The Winds of Winter – until January 2012. George RR Martin is 63 years old – if he takes 5 years per book, that would put him at 73 by the end of the series. I don’t want to bring up statistics about the median lifespan of males, but…let’s just say Winter is coming, George. The way things are looking, he may only have time to write “And then everyone died.” for the last book. Hopefully from at least 6 perspectives.

Damn, I saw him doing the google interview and would have placed him in late 50's. Of course that wouldn't have made much difference if he really is going to take 5 years to write each book.

Thanks for posting the link to the list. I think I understood maybe one or two of them. That was for the hardcore players.

They really ought to time the new seasons better. "Winter is coming" just doesn't have the same impact when we're headed into the summer.

Thanks Keg. That's sooner than I thought it would be but I don't doubt you. You know much and more about these kind of things.

And it's actually quite good for HBO. I seem to remember a couple of times where The Sopranos had over a year between seasons.
