Ok, so far everything looks hot - its better be good! I have high hope for this show cause George R.R Martin is an actual Co-executive producer. So it means he might make sure that they don't change his storyline much. They will still change things thou.....WHERE ARE THE STARK's WOLFS?

@Closo2n2 actually this show sticks to the book amazingly well ... the starks do have their dire wolfs so no worry's there. Personal opinion. If you enjoyed the book, you are going to love this show
i can't believe that game of thrones is only on 'sky atlantic' here in the UK. if virgin don't buy this channel before this show starts, i swear i may have to kill somebody!
@Watcher40000 Can't see that happening considering sky have only just released the channel for all of these great shows, end of the day you get what you pay for and you paid for Virgin
Good to know that there are plenty of British actors makes it a lot better. Hope they have the wolves in the show, and they don't gloss over the gritty parts.
Whoop whoop looks amazing :D Northern Ireland was such a good place to shot ;-) a lot of places in this clip I've riddin at and been at :-D can't wait thanks for posting this!!!!!!
Why are people complaining about accents when Britian doesn't exist in the world of A Song of Ice & Fire? To me, if it's too British or of any one "accent", it'll ruin it. So yeah, Dinklage sounds fine. You aren't going to get any one dialect, more like the actors are trying to blend some. Looks great, aside from the nitpicks like Jaimes hair is darker than I visualized. And Sandor isn't as burnt/wrong side (unless they just flipped the direction of the video?). Can't wait to see the wolves!
This looks so awesome! Though I have only read the first book I can not wait for this series! It looks like it will be one of my favioute series! Just awesome. Can't wait to see how they do things, wont give any spoilers but this book did make me squirm at certain points. Hope they wont take them all out though! For reality you must make the aduiance squirm ^.^
I don't want to give spoilers. There's a certain event involving Dany and fire, and a certain relatively minor consequence of that, one which I'm pretty sure they wouldn't want to be the same in the tv show because they wouldnt want to inhibit attractiveness. Does anyone even know what I'm talking about? I'm just wondering if they'll do it like in the book or maybe leave that effect out.
@phooploid Really?! I think Ned and Jaime are two of the best casting decisions in the whole project. Sean Bean is pretty much exactly how I imagined Ned looking.
Furthermore, a lot of people are complaining about Dany's eye colour, in the clips from the series (not the interview) her eyes do look sort of violet.
Initially I had issues with the Jon Snow as well. With that said, HBO tends to make things gritty and realistic, and the Jon shown in the trailer seems to fit the overall mood. I doubt George Martin imagined him as some anime-esque badass. Though Lena Heady isn't as sexy or curvy as the Cersei fan art, she's a phenomenal actress and has the capacity to play the role perfectly. Jamie and Ned are perfectly cast (Nikolaj's facial expression when he draws his sword).
I hope they don't make Tyrion talk like he does against the tree all the time. Just because he's a 'dwarf' doesn't mean he has to talk freakishly.
Danaery's purple eyes are one of her main characteristics, and don't see why they didn't have the actress wear purple contacts. Jon looks chubby / big boned. I don't know whether my mind decided that he was supposed to be quite skinny and somewhat short, or if he was described that way in the book, but the actor looks very wrong to me.
@Dianeva89 Dinklage's voice sounding weird may have to do with him being American, and having to fake an accent. Although, his accent was better in Prince Caspian (though obviously a different one), so maybe there's just something about the way he speaks in this scene that seems weird and we won't notice it in the show. I know Dinklage is a great actor, so I trust him to pull off Tyrion.
Mostly just a fictional setting, no elves, not much magic except the occasional death curse that one of the characters uses to assassinate her enemies.
The only fantasy creatures that feature prominently are dragons and Wights and Others, which are like zombies.
I don´t like jon snow at all!!!!!!!! I really liked the actor with short hair but he is fatter than he should be, isn´t he!?? and kind of rude... in general the cast is awesome!!! so looking forward to see the wolves!!!!!!! can´t wait!!!!
At least from those few sequences I can say It wont be so utterly destroyed as Legend of the Seeker was. But no matter how good it can be, how exact to book or how much im dying right now to see it ;), everyone should definitely read complete series first, as nothing can replace one's imagination. It an eye-orgasm vs mind-orgasm ;)
Some people and pronunciations are a bit different from what I had thought... but overall, this looks like it will easily be the most epic TV show of all time.
@couldcause Lol, I've always thought he was going to be the weakest link in the British accent department. I was also concerned about the guy playing Jaime, but his accent sounds spot on from what little we've heard so far.
OMG, I cant await to see this finally! The characters are all (except Catelyn who looks too old) so well casted - especially Jon Snow and Daenerys (very beautiful).
@Lukske77: Are you trying to say that because I'm not an actor (at all) that i should not be able to have an opinion on someone elses acting? Or that you genuinely think that I could be better than him? :)
The level of detail from HBO is absolutely amazing. If the acting is as good as it looks so far, this will be an epic series. Highly recommend you read the books first for every tiny sneaky detail. This story will knock your socks off with surprises. Awesome!!!
I have afew problems with the cast.. Jon snow being the biggest. This kids a bit too fat. and seems a bit too soft to be Jon. I hope my opinion changes when the show actually airs.
Jamie and Cersei are not nearly attractive enough.
@kalidontx Indeed! but just wondering, is he going to wear his goatee? 'cos in the scenes he doesn't but it seens (although I can't really see it well >.<) that in the scene of Jaime, Ned and LF he has a goatee, hasn't he?
@kirbyy They aged up all the child actors by a couple of years, so for instance Jon and Robb are 17 instead of 14. This is something GRRM's stated he realized he should have done when he was writing the later books.
Jon Snow looks like a total prat. Ned Stark would have looked better with the actor's actual short hair. With the long greasy hair he just looks like Boromir from LoTR
@thewgill Advice to everyone who reads: when you're reading a new book, don't go online to look up anything to do with it until you finish the series as written so far. I swear every time I've done that, I've encountered spoilers unintentionally. Don't even read the back covers of each individual book until you've finished it.
Ned is the central character in the first book. I've always thought so... not in the second book, or any later books (obviously) but definitely the first book is his.
Afterwards I'd say the main characters become Jon, Daeny, and Arya. With occasional temporary additions of Jaime, Brienne, etc.
"Ned Stark is the center character of the series."
Wat. He triggers the main conflict, okay, but story-wise he has no greater importance than the other "viewpoint characters". At least in the books. I don't understand why would they change this narrative method for the tv-series, because let's be honest, Ned has no gravitas or depth, only his personal and traditional values.
@Ghavin86 Well, in the books he seems to be the central character in the beginning too, so maybe they wanted to surprise people with how the story develops.
@paweldembowski Nonetheless, there is no reason to call any of the main characters central in regard of the narrative structure. Even in this preview there are scenes without Ned Stark, and I hardly believe that they would delibaretly degrade the other character arcs into some sort of secondary storylines. It would be a betrayal of the source material. I really hope this was just lapse of the tongue by Martin...
@Ghavin86 He not only triggers it, he's the one we get to see most of the most important conflict through as one of the most important players. That's backed up by that it's Martin himself who says that line. I can't explain on a deep level though as I don't want to be an idiot and risk spoiling things for others.
@TheMockFrog You are perfectly right, but again, the novels didn't really favored any of the characters, their arcs were presented with equal importance, especially in the Game of Thrones. This made the series unique, and I think this could be the key for the tv series' success.
@Ghavin86 I don't disagree with you about the novels at all but I think there's a lot to gain for the tv-series putting Ned in that spot, if you see where I'm leading with that. I do think the various characters will become equally important as they are in the books.
@TheMockFrog Well in that case the real question is: should Ned be the central character? I understand that there is lot to gain with this creatice decision, but in the other hand there lot to lose as well. I hope this issue will be balanced out in the final product, because I don't want the series to be canceled after the first season (which quite likely if they start to cherry pick between the story elements with a bad concept in mind.)
@Ghavin86 I don't think Martin meant that he'll be the central character on screen, just the most important character we get to follow in terms of him being at the center of the intrigues. We'll still have all the storylines on the Wall, in the Eyrie, across the Narrow Sea etc so I don't see any reason why every character wouldn't get fairly equal time to what they get in the book. My thoughts are of course as much speculation as yours but that's what I think.
@Ghavin86 Consider that it's George RR Martin himself saying it, and that the girl playing Daenaerys later mentions how the show will change all assumptions, and you have a classic example of a writer telling those who *haven't* read the books a fakeout.
That is not Brandon the boy, but Brandon Ned's older brother who was killed at the order of King Aerys. Now that does seem to be Sean Bean, so either they decided to use him for that scene (in the books Brandon's description is not very clear, only that he had a wild nature to him), or that is totally a different scene from the books, and I will say no more on that.
Haha One of the 'Skins' actors is the blacksmith's apprentice . funny

Jon Snow looks like a total prat. Ned Stark would have looked better with the actor's actual short hair. With the long greasy hair he just looks like Boromir from LoTR

@thewgill Advice to everyone who reads: when you're reading a new book, don't go online to look up anything to do with it until you finish the series as written so far. I swear every time I've done that, I've encountered spoilers unintentionally. Don't even read the back covers of each individual book until you've finished it.

@Shadowthrone08 Some of us are still reading the books (I'm still on the second book). So, no spoilers please.

Ned is the central character in the first book. I've always thought so... not in the second book, or any later books (obviously) but definitely the first book is his.
Afterwards I'd say the main characters become Jon, Daeny, and Arya. With occasional temporary additions of Jaime, Brienne, etc.

"Ned Stark is the center character of the series."
Wat. He triggers the main conflict, okay, but story-wise he has no greater importance than the other "viewpoint characters". At least in the books. I don't understand why would they change this narrative method for the tv-series, because let's be honest, Ned has no gravitas or depth, only his personal and traditional values.

@Ghavin86 Well, in the books he seems to be the central character in the beginning too, so maybe they wanted to surprise people with how the story develops.

@paweldembowski Nonetheless, there is no reason to call any of the main characters central in regard of the narrative structure. Even in this preview there are scenes without Ned Stark, and I hardly believe that they would delibaretly degrade the other character arcs into some sort of secondary storylines. It would be a betrayal of the source material. I really hope this was just lapse of the tongue by Martin...
Ghavin86 1 year ago
@Ghavin86 He not only triggers it, he's the one we get to see most of the most important conflict through as one of the most important players. That's backed up by that it's Martin himself who says that line. I can't explain on a deep level though as I don't want to be an idiot and risk spoiling things for others.

@TheMockFrog You are perfectly right, but again, the novels didn't really favored any of the characters, their arcs were presented with equal importance, especially in the Game of Thrones. This made the series unique, and I think this could be the key for the tv series' success.
Ghavin86 1 year ago
@Ghavin86 I don't disagree with you about the novels at all but I think there's a lot to gain for the tv-series putting Ned in that spot, if you see where I'm leading with that. I do think the various characters will become equally important as they are in the books.
TheMockFrog 1 year ago
@TheMockFrog Well in that case the real question is: should Ned be the central character? I understand that there is lot to gain with this creatice decision, but in the other hand there lot to lose as well. I hope this issue will be balanced out in the final product, because I don't want the series to be canceled after the first season (which quite likely if they start to cherry pick between the story elements with a bad concept in mind.)
Ghavin86 1 year ago
@Ghavin86 I don't think Martin meant that he'll be the central character on screen, just the most important character we get to follow in terms of him being at the center of the intrigues. We'll still have all the storylines on the Wall, in the Eyrie, across the Narrow Sea etc so I don't see any reason why every character wouldn't get fairly equal time to what they get in the book. My thoughts are of course as much speculation as yours but that's what I think.
TheMockFrog 1 year ago
@Ghavin86 Consider that it's George RR Martin himself saying it, and that the girl playing Daenaerys later mentions how the show will change all assumptions, and you have a classic example of a writer telling those who *haven't* read the books a fakeout.

SPOILER ALERT
That is not Brandon the boy, but Brandon Ned's older brother who was killed at the order of King Aerys. Now that does seem to be Sean Bean, so either they decided to use him for that scene (in the books Brandon's description is not very clear, only that he had a wild nature to him), or that is totally a different scene from the books, and I will say no more on that.
