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.. |

Yeah, I am still wondering if/when he will try to bed a certain someone that I won't mention for people still on the early books. If so, I someone, or no one, guts his ass.

They should just leave out the "You win" part. Nobody wins.

just watched the Targaryen feature.
Spoiler!
so far, all of the knights look very cool and well designed. I love the design of the hound's helmet, the knight of flowers has very intricate armor, and the Mountain that rides has very plain bulky Plate. all of it looks like the descriptions in the book.

The series looks cool, and I'll definitely watch, but I'm far more excited about the new book. I already know what's going to happen in the show.

Apparently this aired last night. I dvr'd it, but not knowing it was actually 14 minutes from the show, I didn't record it in HD...

That was pretty much everything exactly the way I pictured it to that point. |
