HBO Green-Lights Martin's Thrones

HBO has given a green light to production on the pilot for a fantasy drama series, Game of Thrones, based on a book series by George R.R. Martin, Variety reported.

The pilot for the long-gestating project was written by feature scribes David Benioff and D.B. Weiss. Former HBO entertainment president Carolyn Strauss will serve as a co-executive producer, along with Guymon Cassidy, Vincent Gerardis and author Martin.

HBO acquired the TV adaptation rights to Martin's Songs of Ice and Fire book series nearly two years ago.

The pilot for the HBO series is described as an exploration of an epic struggle for power set in a vast and violent fantasy kingdom.



Offhand, I wonder how Martin's going to work in being an executive producer on the project, considering he still hasn't even finished the next book in the series, which was apparently supposed to be due in to his publisher months and months ago, and his travels all over the place...

Well, this is still very good news to me. This has the potential to be a really great series. :thumbsup:

And with it being on HBO, they don't have to, ehum, censor a lot of the more adult stuff...
