Finally. It seems HBO has picked up George R.R. Martin’s fantasy series, A Song of Fire and Ice, and plan to turn it into an ongoing series, one season per book. This is the first thing coming to TV in a long time that has gotten me even close to excited.
You’ve probably heard Nathan or I rave about these books and if you haven’t started reading them then hop on it (if you want to borrow a copy just ask). I’m sure the HBO adaptation will be very well done but nothing can beat the books.
Variety broke the story here and George R.R. Martin has a post on his website here.
A Song of Ice and Fire, to be correct. I’m very proud that I found this information out on Wikipedia and passed it on to you and Nathan. I am very excited for the series. I have enjoyed reading these books almost as much as reading the HP series. HBO shows are very good and usually wins the most awards out of all the networks. Since HBO is cable they are not censored. I think this is the perfect reason for us to get HBO Andrew, even if the show does not start airing for a couple years. :)
Yah, this totally rules. Now for the long and painful wait as these make the transition to the small screen. Here’s hoping for HD.
