Game of Thrones (Igra prijestolja)

Evo kako sam već prije najavljivao seriju, vrijeme je da dobije i svoju temu kako curi sve više informacija o njoj.

HBO's 'Game of Thrones' full cast with photos

Has any recent TV show generated more online excitement -- when its not even a TV show yet?

HBO starts shooting its adaptation of George R.R. Martin's "Game of Thrones" as a pilot next week in Northern Ireland, with additional locations in other countries. Though HBO has plenty of competing projects in development, this is the sort of sprawling and expensive production networks don't typically like to pilot unless they're pretty confident they're also going to series.

Here's the spot-on-looking cast (save one key role that has yet to be announced), with photos:



Also cast, as Drogo, Jason Momoa... .

And by and by: For those who haven't read these books ... they are fantastic. Really. Just started a a couple months ago, can't put them down. "Sopranos" with swords. Page turners that break the "rules" of fantasy fiction, a genre I normally don't like. Whereas adapting "Lord of the Rings" seemed downright impossible, putting "Thrones" onto HBO seems like a matter of using cut-and-paste. The dialog is already contemporary, tight and gripping, and you can even guess where each episode will break since so many chapters cliff-hang.

I've never been so excited for a project I know so little about. HBO picked up the rights to the fantasy novel series A Song of Ice and Fire three years ago, and pasty basement-dwellers like myself have been hitting refresh on our browsers ever since, just waiting for news on the project's status. The sprawling fantasy series from author George R. R. Martin is one of science-fiction/fantasy's most cherished.

And today, HBO (and thank God it was HBO) gave the official greenlight to Game of Thrones, based on A Song of Ice and Fire's first novel of almost the same name (the book is adds the article "A").

Expectations for the television adaptation are freakishly high, as the books go far beyond sword-and-sorcery-slay-the-dragon-save-the-princess fare. Rumor has it that the series will be dark and grisly (most common description: The Sopranos in Middle-Earth), with less emphasis on the hardcore fantasy elements (spells, dragons) and more emphasis on hacking people's arms off.

The series only drew more interest when its cast was announced. Though largely comprised of British actors unknown to American audiences, there are some familiar faces. Sean Bean (The Lord of the Rings) will play Eddard Stark, Lena Headey (Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles) will play Queen Cersei, and Peter Dinklage (The Station Agent) will play Tyrion Lannister. Thomas McCarthy (director of The Visitor, The Station Agent, co-writer of Up, and actor in Season Five of The Wire—homeboy is talented) will direct.

Production on the 10-episode season (the first still photo from the pilot is below) is due to begin in June, with a premiere date set for spring 2011.

I've yet to attack the books, but I haven't heard a bad thing about them. This should be good.

Behold! The first photo from the series:

Pročitao sam sve knjige do sad objavljene i baš se veselim seriji. George R.R. Martin je po meni jedan od najboljih pisaca fantasy-a, barem među ovima koje sam imao prilike pročitat.
