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.

Might as well.There is much in both they could cut out IMHO. Would probably make it more interesting.

So how many seasons has HBO officially ordered? Just the second season for now?

As far as I know. I think the expectation is that they'll probably greenlight 3 and 4 shortly after season 2 starts in April, if the numbers are still what they were this year.

(I don't see why they wouldn't be...)

I saw a report that one of the characters that is not killed in the books is going to die on the show in season 2...should be interesting, though I have no idea which character it would be.

Also, congrats to Tyrion for getting GQ Stud of the Year!

I kind of resent the fact that series ruined my mental image of Tyrion from the books. By all accounts, he's supposed to be an extremely ugly creature and Peter Dinklage is almost handsome in HBO's show. I couldn't shake the image of the actor from my mind though as I read the books (after having watched Season 1).

That's the exact reason I'm not watching it until I'm done with book 5. I don't want HBO's version of the characters entering my mind when i'm reading. It already happened with Daenerys.

Did you read the books before or after watching the show? I read them before I saw the series, and I found that while reading ADwD I still had the exact same mental image for all of the characters that I had before.

Yeah, I should have probably done the same. The ones that were the worst offenders (in my opinion only, of course) were Ned Stark, Rob Stark, Jon Snow, Robert Baratheon, Arya Stark, Khal Drogo and, of course, Tyrion (the worst one of them all). Pretty much everyone else I was OK with.

I read AGOT, watched the show and read the rest of them.

Yup. I have thought about that as well.

Not looking forward to that. I am however looking forward to viewing his sister's walk through the middle of town. Over and over.
