HBO confirmed: "Game of Thrones" will indeed premiere next spring.

game of thrones 288x288One executive at the TCA press tour said that he thought it will premiere March 3rd, though another corrected him and just said "spring."

"It's a genre we've approached somewhat cautiously," said Michael Lombardo, HBO's programming president. "We have two writers ... who are so smart and so talented. Neither of us are particularly fans of the genre. It was such enormously compelling reading. It wasn't the genre we responded to it was the storytelling."

"It's really about power," added Richard Plepler, co-president. "And that's a theme which has resonated throughout history. You'll forget where you are very quickly and will find yourself immersed in the storytelling."

Both executives noted that the show's intense online fandom is helpful for growing an audience ... yet also adds pressure.

"It's a ravenous audience," Lombardo said. "You have to get it right. Those fans are waiting. They've set a bar that, if you do it, you have to do it right.

The casting that would make or break the show was always Tyrion- I breathed a sigh of relief when I found out they'd gotten Peter Dinklage.

Oh hey, here's an article on who's cast as who.

I think there's a clause in his contract where his characters must die in 90% of all his projects.

I love the books and I only hope GRRM can keep up his writing "schedule" before the show is forced to deviate too far from the fiction due to lack of printed work.

What's sad is I LIKE him as a good guy and so does Sean Bean. He's stated many times in interviews he likes playing protagonists but that the only work that usually comes his way is villains or characters that croak early in the film lol

Heh...I am waiting for it, but by the sounds of it, we might get one more out of him, and maybe 100 pages of a sixth.
