Woke up to find an email from HBO letting me know that last some more A Game of Thrones goodness is available for us to feast (though I’d rather be dancing personally) upon! As you may know, True Blood returned last night (see our review of the season premiere) for its third season, and HBO took advantage of the spectacle to promote A Game of Thrones (or as I like to say, HBO announced A Game of Thrones promo to bring attention to True Blood!). We got a video teaser and a new image (click to super-size)! This – to my knowledge – is our second official look at the project, following the March release of the first image from the pilot. If it’s A Game of Thrones you have to give us Ned Stark, as portrayed by Sean Bean, and not only that…is that Ice he’s carrying?
For those not in the know, A Game of Thrones is HBO’s small screen adaptation of author George R.R. Martin’s G.O.A.T literature candidate, the first book in the series called ‘A Song of Ice and Fire’ (which along with Steven Erikson’s Malazan Book of the Fallen is my current reading obsessions). We’ve been bringing you the word on casting (though it’s been rather quiet lately), and you can check out all of our updates here, which includes tidbit like you need to learn a whole new language or risk being a poser fan.
This is honestly the only TV series I’m look forward to! I implore people to go get these books and give them a spin, you will not be disappointed no matter what genre you think you you have a preference for, unless you just hate awesome (which admittedly afflicts an awful lot of people, even some BSC co-owners). Keep it tuned, more info as we we get it!
