Awesome!

Now, when's the next fucking book going to be released!!!

 

It is pretty cool. I thought it was interesting that they are scouting locations in Spain and the Czech Rep.

As far as the next book is concerned, I am hoping that it is released by the end of the year. However, I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't hit shelves until next year.

 

Dunno if slydevl even reads here anymore, but Dinklage is inked to be Tyrion.

More casting news:

Sean Bean = Eddard Stark (LMAO he gets to eat it again, Boromir part 2)



Mark Addy - King Robert Baratheon

And this kid is gonna be Jon Snow:



Kit Harrington - Ive never heard of him.

 

So when is this fucker coming out? Is he gonna even finish writing "A Dance with Dragons" or any other sequels before he dies? Doesn't seem like there's much point in having a series of it's not gonna have an end.

Also, Tyrion doesn't look nearly deformed enough from what I imagined him to look like. I hope they're planning on some more makeup.

 

I'm sure he'll be ugly as hell once makeup gets through with him.

and that Addy guy isn't enough of a bad ass to play Robert - although in these books he's just a fat ass drunk so I guess he'll do.

started reading the books again thinking maybe by the time I get through #4 the next one would be out but the damn books are so good I'll be done with the series in a couple weeks.

 

Sweet. Called it two and a half years ago. Now if they actually make the series, they are going to run out of source material because they are going to catch up to Martin before he finishes writing the series.
