HBO to make George R.R. Martin' SoI&F into a series...

The children may be a problem, I agree.

I could not be happier (unless my lottery ticket came in). Wow. Wow. Wow.

Now to convince the wife we actually do need cable (which we've lived without for 12 years).

I had to check the date, thought this was April Fool's or something. This is awesome news....as long as George does a little more writing, and a little less touring.

We've already got Robert Jordan, who possibly may never be able to finish his last book, after we've waited so long...

So is this a good reason to start reading the series? I always prefer to read the books before seeing a movie and I've heard good things about this series.

 

[Kestrel]

Well I freaked and posted it in the wrong area. Doh!

I wonder who they will cast for Tyrion?

 

[Agamon]

Pick something. Anything. Got it? Okay, that is a good enough reason to read the books.

But seriously, you'll want to read them before this comes out.

And one last thing: GLEEE!

It's HBO. If we recognize any of the actors, I'll be surprised.

There's two naturals, I think:

Warwick Davis

Peter Dinklage

Both are decent actors, I think. In Threshold, Dinklage proved he can do cynical really, really well...

 

[Kestrel]

Good point, although they tend to get popular afterwards.

I wouldn't worry too much about the children, if HBO's track record with cancelling shows shows anything, it probably won't get past Clash of Kings. But I will still be happy with whatever appears.

(Sorry, I'm bitter over the recent announcement about Rome. (And Deadwood, and Carnivale))

Yeah, they could do it pretty well. I would love to see Michael J. Anderson get the work, but he's not really what I had in mind for Tyrion.

I knew Rome was only going to be 2 seasons soon after I began watching it. It's too bad, but it wasn't really cancelled.
