Game of Thrones, by George R.R. Martin, is one of those series I’ve been meaning to pick up since forever but have never made time for. Seems like I’ll need to make the time now.
James Hibberd at The Live Feed reports:
The premium network has picked up the project for a first season debut next spring (below is the first released photo from the series). Nine episodes plus the pilot have been ordered. Production will begin in Belfast this June.
From the moment the project was first announced in development, the series based on the George R.R. Martin novels has generated enormous, perhaps unprecedented, online interest for a series at such an early stage.
Goes on to describe the series as “‘The Sopranos’ with swords.” Awesome. Can’t wait to see Sean Bean and Lena Headey in this.

Wondering whether the Game of Thrones HBO series will get me to read the books (yes, I tried, no I didn’t get far)…
Énorme. HBO a enfin donné le feu ve à l’adaptation de “A Game of Thrones” en série. The Sopranos avec des épées ? Ça peut que être épique.
