Thrashalla:
If you are unfamiliar with the source material, go read these. You can thank me after your fourth re-read for your new addiction. GO!

For the rest of us, it's time for an official thread because there is now enough info and media out there to get the hype machine rolling on here.

First, an official teaser trailer:

Official site for the show: http://www.hbo.com/#/game-of-thrones

Great blog entry from the creators of the show, talking about how they came upon the series:

______________________________

I think everything looks and sounds good, but I really hope that the final product has more use of natural light instead of the washed out/stylized lighting that they use in the trailer.

Also, any bets on whether the 5th book will be out before the show starts? :P

Thrashalla:
Lots of new bits since my last post.

First some behind the scenes featurettes:

I will keep this thread alive until more than just Imrahil and I give a shit! :P

mrbasehart:
I'm very excited for this.  Visually it looks pretty spot on, and Sean Bean is usually pretty awesome in these kinds of roles. 

Bob:
Never heard of the books and I dont really go in for fantasy type stuff (LOTR movies were the exception).   The previews I have seen on HBO look quite good, so I am looking forward to this.   As far as I know going in, looks to be set in medival times and there is a lot of murder and plotting going on......
