A Game of Thrones on HBO - I guess this is really going to happen.

Apparently, they've actually begin casting.

According to Martins webiste, they have Sean Bean as Ned (Boromir for those who are utterly clueless). The fat guy from Knights Tale as Robert Baratheon, and some kid I've never seen before as Jon.

I gotta say...Bean as Ned is a score, I think.

Yeah, but it will be incredibly annoying when the series catches up to the books and then stops.

They'll probably run out money by the end of the third season.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I guess I should get around to finally reading these books.

if they are casting Bean as Ned it would be great if they could cast Daragh O'Malley as Yoren or something. They could have a scene together for all the Sharpe fans.

Nice, there's certainly lots of story in the books to provide content for a movie. Now, too bad that the author can't seem to complete the next book. Lots of story lines have been left hanging!   :(

which is good, 'cause the series switches gears then into uncompleteness.

they can do a  second series in 10-15 years, after GRRM dies. the good news is that they will be able to make up their own ending.

That would be great.

Bean was terrific in that series.

The cylon chick from Battlestar Galactica is rumoured to be cast as Cersei. I think she is a great pick.

I dunno, Bean always seems to have something sinister lurking under the surface, don't think I'd have picked him for a goody-goody like Eddard Stark. He'd make a better Sandor in my opinion.

Grace Park is pretty hot, but I don't think she'd make a good Cersei.

She would be a awesome Cersei.

Also, Piter Dinklage is Tyrion. Not sure I remember him from anything though, but he does look familiar.

I have been watching the second season of Tudors, btw. It seems better than the first one - but maybe I just got over the historical accuracy and just enjoying it for its soapy goodness.

I wonder if its success will detract or help Game of Thrones, since it is in many ways similar.
