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.. |

For those that watch the series and don't read the book in advance, it will be filled with surprises. With that said, I imagine there will be lots of people pooping in their britches in the final episode. The whole book was filled with holy shit moments, the moments at the end were more like holy f**king f**k moments.

And also of note...Daenarys looks to be the hottest one I've seen much of in the clips...which is a little creepy to me since I keep thinking of her as a 13 YO from the books. |

I just really, really hope that they don't cut Beric Dondarrion from the TV show, but I have a feeling that he and Thoros will be cast aside.

We'll get a better idea if they get any screen time during the Hand's tourney.

There was a website that really disected the screencaps from the previews and someone thought they spied Thoros in one of the shots. If they show any part of the melee, they obviously have to show Thoros. |

This is a great reference site to refresh your memory: http://www.towerofthehand.com/
You can expand/focus the scope of each entry by book so you don't spoil anything, but if you haven't finished the first one it could potentially spoil the first book's big moments. |

Figure it is about time for another one of those updates saying he is working on it and it should hopefully arrive within the next year.
