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

[crazy canuck]

My mental image of Danys is different but I will wait to see what wardrobe and makeup does.

Good choices for Stark's girls.  Close to what I had pictured in my mind.  Jaimie Lanister could be good as well.

Jaime Lannister:



Kind of a Harrison Ford look, but doesn't seem like enough of a pretty-boy for Jaime.

Loras is the pretty-boy. I see Jaime as a more dangerous type, especially after the last couple of books. A lion if you will.

I agree, this is the impression I get even in the first book.

I see Jaime as a pretty boy who turns out to be a complete bad ass. Brad Pitt would be perfect, for example.

Although, seems the movie will be out long before any more books.

A year per book, so at least 3 years to finish the next one, 4 if Feast for Crows is considered a whole book.  The show will probably be canceled by then anyway.

Sansa looks very much like one of the Harry Potter films girl.

[DisturbedPervert]

Looks a lot like Luna Lovegood

Looks a lot like Luna Lovegood

Yeah that's it. Pity it isn't her (as I orginally thought), could have diverted some of the enormous HP fan base toward the series

Those actors/actresses look the parts, mainly especially the females. Jaime may be ok, and Mormont I guess though I kind of forget, but I recall the name.

Mormont is the exile who is in Dany's camp. He's loyal because he's in love with her. He has a history of bad relationship choices.

Looking good in armor? If he knows swordplay, which is a real stage skill, that's part of it.

Plus he's a spy for the Baratheons that's why he starts following her, then he falls in love and confesses his betrayal.

Who's playing Ned?

Why would that be a good thing?

Sean Bean

[crazy canuck]

Why would that be a good thing?

Normally people think that financial success is a good thing.

[Siege]

Well, yeah.

Needs to be very popular to avoid being canceled.  This is gonna be an expensive series.
