A Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire, Book 1) by George R.R. Martin
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 Song 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.
Fantastic news.
George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice And Fire series is brilliant. Right up there with Tolkein’s Lord of the Rings.
I, like a good majority of fantasy fans, are eagerly awaiting Martin’s next book in the series!
