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.. |

He was able to do it, but Random House wanted the book and the CD to be released on the same date and didn't give Dotrice enough of a heads up. He had a previous engagement so he couldn't do it. Martin just announced that Dotrice would be doing the audio for Dance, so that's good news. http://www.a-game-of-thrones.net/roy...ns-audio-book/ I'll probably just pass on the audiobook version of Feast and stick w/ the print, lest it screw up my sense of the characters. Hell, I'm almost less concerned with Martin finishing the book at all than I am about him making sure he finishes it before ol' Roy dies on us. I don't imagine Dotrice has more than 3-5 years left; get to writing, George.

Ratings down a bit this week. Not sure if it's reaction to the horse killing/gay scene from the week before, or all the hbogo pushing hitting the rating, or other crap of TV. In any event, still not bad, though, 2.4 million premiere, 3.2 million for the night (@100k less than last week).

I have secret connections in the entertainment industry.
Either that or I google "Game of Thrones ratings" every Tuesday night/Wednesday morning. |

So, what's the excitement level?
Endure web quality to see E7 now, or wait for HD DVRing on Sunday? Getting antsy.
