This is the first book/tv show post on this blog. How Fun! The only fantasy series I am a fanatical follower of is George RR Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire. Much to everyone's excitement, HBO has picked up a David Benioff and Dan Weiss produced adaption of the books to begin airing in the spring of 2011. Here is the new teaser trailer released last Sunday:
All I can think of when watching that is the often muttered colloquialism from the series, where messages and news are mostly traded via ravens.
"Dark wings, dark words"
Here is the behind the scenes as well. You catch a brief glance of Aiden Gillen, who was great as Tommy Carcetti in The Wire, as Petyr Baelish, whom he should be able to portray amazingly. Sean Bean and also Peter Dinklage look good as well. Especially Dinklage, whose portrayal of Tyrion Lannister could easily make or break this whole series.
Needless to say, this is the most excited for a TV show I think I have ever been in my life. Should be an amazing ride.
