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.. |

unless he fasts foward several years its just going to be impossible, from a production point of view, to go a full seven seasons. just the actors themselves will have changed from young or teenagers into full blown adults. i agree books 2 and 3 are full of awesomeness so youre probably right it might get spread out over two seasons then. maybe 4 and 5 will be combined since not a whole lot goes down. i guess we'll see what 6 and 7 holds but im guessing the suits at HBO arent willing to drop the massive amounts of dough to complete the saga all the while waiting for this dude to get off his lazy ass and complete the series

They began tinkering with the ages of young characters before the series even began (Robb/Jon/Sansa all older) so I don't think adjusting to the actors playing Arya and Bran getting older is going to be any major kind of hurdle. Who knows though.
Main thing will be maintaining the ratings. That'll be what ultimately determines how long it runs. |

ROME was a terrific show with a wide viewing base that was slated for 5 seasons. they realized about halfway through season 2 that it just was too expensive. hopefully they dont think that way with this

I wondered about that. If it is that scene I'll be rewinding that one a couple times, in slow motion.

I'm still so pissed over that I can't see straight.

Oh yeah, that makes a lot more sense. How you can keep all those name straight is beyond me.
I'm starting to jumble the chronological order of some events in my mind. Plus I'm looking forward to that scene and not just for skin show.

I just looked it up and I had a bunch of stuff mixed up. I edited the post for clarity.

Still 5 steps ahead of me, thanks for the clarification.
