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 hear you, but keep reading, the rest of the book finishes strong.

I went through the exact same thing as you man. Just didn't feel like there was a point to it all anymore. I'm 200 into A Feast For Crows now.

I concur. Not the last time, but that is part of what makes the series as great as it it, and also part of what makes the story frustrating as well. Stick with it.

Part of the greatness is the "reality" of it. Bad things happen to good people. But that's hard for some people to deal with, especially if they're into more traditional rainbow and unicorn style fantasy where the good guys wear white and always win. I'm glad the TV show has helped the books finally become as big as they always should have been, in any case.

Yep. Wheel of Time this is not. (I liked WOT, don't get me wrong)

Hey - you never know. There's still one book left - maybe Rand loses in the end!

Hell, that's part of what makes this series so great. Trust me, you don't want to give up on it just yet, not that we really thought you would.

Definitely not Wheel of Time. I just started that series again (Last time I only got four or five books in before stopping), going to try to finish it by the time the next Song of Ice and Fire book comes out (which could be awhile).

When that's your house sigil, you ****ing deserve it.

Did anyone catch the little bit of history in ASOS when someone (I forget who) mentions how the Boltons used to flay Starks in ancient times? I thought that was interesting.
