Amazing news. You just have to keep your expectations low enough; there hasn't ever been a movie/series adaptation of any literary work that was actually better than the book. Then again, HBO is more than known for good adaptations and amazing series. GRRM-approved? Hell yeah.
players do games, press mens do their things. and fans do make good cheers.

If it is anything close to the production value of Rome, I will enjoy it immensely. I don't really care if it is as good as the books. The books are the best thing ever, how can the show be THAT?

Maybe with all the money in the world, each chapter being a full-length movie, and Martin
playing with toy knights by the stage during the shooting. Can't be done otherwise. Still,
I dare you, HBO.

bump, they casted Eddard, it's Sean Bean, aka Boromir from LoTR

imo this is great news, he's a recognizable name from another successful fantasy book-screen adaptation, and should bring in viewers that were unfamiliar with the series originally. this means, higher chance for pilot to be picked up!

that is a pretty good cast I think. They better dye his hair black though and make him a bit more pale

FUck I really hope they do a good job with this. A big test imo is how they do the armor. Martin takes so much care to describe this incredible ornate armor.. if HBO makes these characters look that amazing I will be kinda surprised. Sadly I (pessimistically) expect simple leather vests and shit so the real focus can be on the drama

ah, whoops i should have posted in this thread not in the other one

reposting it here for pics and links
IT IS OFFICIAL NOW!

Sean Bean is cast for the role of Lord Eddard 'Ned' Stark

[image loading]

The rumors were true.. this is great news! He's a great choice and I'm thrilled at the thought of seeing him as Ned. And not only that but with such a big name as the lead, and the weight and fans he carries with him, this can only help boost the ratings and solidify the series' future. I suppose the fans are being listened to!


Other roles have been cast as well:

Mark Addy will play King Robert Baratheon.

[image loading]

From Parris, George R.R. Martin's wife, wrote:

I can tell you we have seen Addy's audition tape (Robert and Ned at Winterfell), and he was excellent. Although it was a quick reading, he had a catch in his throat when he referred to L, and his physical presence is that of a man who was once very fit and powerful, gone to seed thru too much good food, good drink, and too little joy in the life he finds himself living now. We liked him immediately.


the rest of the cast listings are basically unknowns, which is expected of several of the other roles as well:

Harry Lloyd will play Viserys
[image loading]


Kit Harrington will play Jon Snow

Jack Gleeson is cast for Joffrey, but the only photo is 4 years old when he looks like a little kid, from Batman Begins.

No disrespect but could GRRM please focus on finishing the goddamn series, rather than running around goofing off with comic books and HBO adaptations? Sorry, I'm still pissed off at how Robert Jordan died after making me slog through 15,000 pages of his world and DIDN'T FINISH. Then you look at GRRM who is anything but in the bloom of his health and you have to wonder if that guy's not going to just kick the bucket too.

He's 61, and no health problems yet as far as I know.

Awesome that they're getting some nice actors on it. How long does filming a pilot normally take?

At the pace he's writing, it's going to take him 6-7 years per book. And the older he gets, the slower he gets... So you're looking at what, 2025 the series will finish? That would make him 75 yrs old. Yeah, there are some definite concerns there.

And sers, the wait is getting ridiculous. It's been almost ten years since I've read any new material about most of the characters I like. Feast for Crows had everyone I didn't like, except for Tyrion.

Yeah really, I read this long ago enough that I don't even remember how the two storylines converge, if they actually do, and only some character names. Still great series, I'll have to remember to bring to uni with me after this job-term so I can reread.
