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.. |

Why would they do that? That's not how it happened in the book. |

90 Universal acclaim based on 22 Critics Critic score distribution: Positive: 21 out of 22 Mixed: 1 out of 22 Negative: 0 He's the only critic that gave it below 80. All these reviews are based on the first four episodes, from what I understand. |

I wonder how much GRRM has told the writers about where he's going with the series. There was one scene that, possibly, confirmed some of the speculation out there:
Spoiler!

I can't believe how fast the episodes go. It felt like it was just started and then they fade away from Arya and Gendry and I was like..huh? It is over!?!
