Making of Game of Thrones
Game of Thrones will premiere this Sunday, April 17, on HBO at 9 pm eastern and pacific time. So who else is eagerly awaiting this adaption?
I am very glad that HBO is doing this series because a theatrical adaption would never have done the story justice. This way the story's violence, profanity, sexuality, and everything can be preserved just as it should be. I believe that is the only way this particular series should be presented. Plus...the entire Song of Ice and Fire series is way too massive to condense into a movie (or number of movies for that matter) so a series was the only logical route to go. From what I heard on the "Making of" special on HBO, each season will comprise the events from one book so we're in this for the long haul!
The casting looks solid. Sean Bean is going to make a great Eddard Stark and I am excited about Peter Dinklage as Tyrion Lannister. I really think that Dinklage is going to bring the sarcasm and wit that really makes Tyrion one of the most interesting and enjoyable characters of the books. Emilia Clarke (while hot) doesn't seem to portray Daenerys as I imagined her. But if GMMR is happy with it, then I guess I shouldn't worry about it. It's still far too early to tell about most but I'm sure we'll all have a better idea after Sunday night.
The setting looks fantastic and probably couldn't have been executed much better. The Wall looks just as massive and foreboding as I'd hoped. I certainly don't think anybody is going to be disappointed in the setting.
Winter is coming.
Discuss!
