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.

I'm glad you added this because I was just about to ask what was so "fantasy" about the series!

Thanks. It actually sounds right up my alley. I'll check out the first book and see how it goes.

Sweet. It only took me 2 hours but I found my book packed away in the garage. Already read the Prologue so I'm going to start at chapter one. Holler.

Bought this yesterday. I have another book ahead of it in the line-up. But I should be on it by sometime next week.

I'm looking forward to this.

Be sure to let us know what you think.

I picked up House of Leaves this week, based on your and Buck's discussions. I'm only a few pages in, but it looks promising (and trippy as hell).

Awesome. I hope you like it. Something about that book just scared the bajeezus outta me. Totally creepy.

I'll keep you posted, you keep me posted.

Fantasy has enough sub-genres not to need any more. I believe that, technically, Ice and Fire is considered High Fantasy/Epic Fantasy, but personally I consider it to be Low Fantasy. The world may be entirely fictional, but the actual fantasy elements (i.e. magic) of the tale are very constrained, although they're definitely there. But it's much more rooted in what I would consider "reality" than something like the Wheel of Time.

Yeah, I need to finish that one. First I am going to finish A Game of Thrones, then I'll finish that one.

A'ite.

So I finally jumped into the pool. Just got started (finished the Prologue and 1st 'Bran' Chapter), only 25 pages in. So far I love the mood and the writing style. I'm excited to see where this thing goes.

And as a huge fan of LOST, I sort of love that they are referring to groups as The Others right now. Makes me smile.

Damn, can't get this on CD from the library. Be much quicker for me to catch up on the story if I could listen to it while I'm at work.

Audible has it.

I picked up an account there a couple years back, and it's been worth every cent.

Now, I haven't actually listened to it (this is one I read in print...) so I don't know how good the narrator is, etc. But it's a great book.

The first three books are read by Roy Dotrice and he is amazing. He is also going to be Maester Aemon in the HBO series.

Oh, and there are other means of getting audiobooks online. Less scrupulous to be sure, but its out there.
