After months of waiting and wondering, fans of George R.R. Martin’s epic fantasy series “A Song of Fire and Ice” will be happy to hear our next story.
HBO has given the green light to a full season of “A Game of Thrones.” The first season will run 10 episodes–the pilot and nine other episodes. It will cover the first novel in the series, “A Game of Thrones” and features an all-star cast. Production will begin on the show later this year and the cable outlet is targeting next spring for its debut.
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.
The sprawling tale set in the mythical land of Westeros tells the story of the noble Stark family who become caught up in high court intrigue when patriarch Eddard (played by Sean Bean) becomes the king’s new right-hand man. The four-and-counting books in the series would each be used as one season of the series.
We will keep you up on details as they become available.
Finally something happens in Hollywood that makes SENSE.
This is the most awesome awesome that ever awesomed!
