I am so fucking excited. Who has more pics??

If all goes well, Lombardo said, "Game of Thrones" will be on HBO in spring 2011 -- "March or April."

When I first started work at my current job two years ago, I asked the HBO rep who was visiting if he had any status updates for Fire and Ice and he was like "for what now", I just saw him a month ago and he was as psyched about it as I was.

Sean Bean = perfect Eddard Stark (and appropriate considering Sean Bean's characters' propensity to do a certain something in all his movies, leaving out the spoilers)

Jason Momoa = perfect Khal Drogo, hands down. On one of the director's commentaries for Stargate Atlantis they said that he almost outran the buggy they had the camera mounted on. He's physically fit and he has hair that you can't fake.

I haven't seen many pictures yet because they just started filming like a month ago. Momoa was their last casting choice. Really it's a ridiculously well-picked cast though.

It's still kind of weird to realize it's directed by the guy who played the douche reporter on the last season of The Wire.

Obviously, I'm just ALL THE WAY fucking about this.

This just got greenlighted by HBO.

Here's a few relevant links

Who the fuck is Ros^2?

Looks fantastic. I am exciiiteedddd.

PLEASE GOD tell me that this will be better than the steaming pile of crap that was Legend of the Seeker.

The cast list looks amazing!!

" A new character for the TV show, Ros is a prostitute working in a brothel in King's Landing."

Ugh.

Is it me, or do the actors who plays Robb and Jon look really old for the character's age?

I can't wait until they reveal they cut Hodor for Ros, and riots ensue.

I mean seriously there are 800 characters, why do we need a hooker?

Yeah, this property doesn't exactly need an additional character to pad out the story, so it's an odd creative choice. What I'd really like to know, though, is precisely what the writers found lacking in any of the nine or ten prostitute characters that Martin already wrote into the story. They couldn't just expand one of those roles?

It's an HBO series. Legend of the Seeker was on cable. There's one glaring difference here.

Ha I knew if I put off reading this shit long enough someone would make into something I could watch. Fuck books!

This exactly.

They always do that for any fan art I've seen too, only worse. I'm going to assume that its because SO many of the characters are underage and doing lots and lots of things that we generally frown on underage kids doing. (murder, fucking, more murder....) Something tells me people are going to have issue with some of Arya's scenes....
But they aren't super old, they're still kids, which is good. I would have been pissed if they were in their 20s.

Brad and I have been keeping up with this show's progress for a while, and before they cast anyone, we were like, "Dude, that midget from "Elf" HAS to be Tyrion or it will be an injustice."
Thank god the people casting agreed! He's so perfect. (and Tyrion is one of my 2 fav characters---Arya being my very favorite.)

I just hope they keep all the blood, gore, fucking, cruelty, and fucked up shit in it. These books are the best damn thing to ever happen to fantasy, and made it a lot less gay to be into dragons.
And I hope this makes George RR Martin buckle the fuck up and finish Dance with Dragons already.

I have to say, HBO did a fucking bang-up job on Rome, which was a really, really fucking good show.

If they can do that good with this show, I'll be pleased.

Yeah, I almost wonder if they got Thomas McCarthy to direct it just to make sure they got Peter Dinklage (or maybe he only did it on the condition that he directed). He's the guy who wrote and directed The Station Agent, which was the movie that got Peter noticed and got him higher profile roles like the one in Elf.

He already had a connection to HBO as well: Thomas McCarthy is also an actor, and played the reporter who wins a Pulitzer for making shit up in the last season of The Wire.
