So is there any more footage or info available about this? While it's surrounded with an air of being something awesome, I'm not sure where the awesome is yet. I see Boromir having an identity crisis.

[MrPink]

wow, that 20 seconds of trees footage has really wet my appetite for something i know nothing about.

[AmIdYfReAk]

Playing hard to get are ya Mr.Pink?

thanks

although in fairness i was sold at 'Sean Bean'.

What I find so interesting about it is the fact its a true fantasy setting with magic. "Medieval" shows on this scale always go for the brutally realistic stories.

This is equivalent on the "Yes!"-o-meter to hearing that Lord of the Rings was being filmed.
I really want this to be fucking awesome.

This is equivalent on the "Gay!"-o-meter to seeing the trailer for Avatar.

This is equivalent on the "Gay!"-o-meter to seeing the trailer for Avatar.

ehh.. not really, the books are fucking awesome (emphasis on the "fucking awesome"). Also the entire premise of the story has bugger all in common with avatard, so I'm not quite getting the point behind your comment. I'd recommend to anyone to read this series of books right now. Of course if you aren't into reading much that's your loss...

If you're commentin on the content/quality of the video, it's a teaser trailer, so of course it ain't showing much.

^ how do you get from "this looks gay" to "i don't read much"? i followed bit's wikipedia link, started reading the synopsis but had to stop after a few paras because the rampant homosex was reaching critical mass. it sounds like the standard FF set-in-a-feudal-world-order where everyone and everything has a horrible concatenation for a name. there are probably wizards and - let me guess - dragons? in there too

also: avatar, because the trailer for that was this gay too (the movie itself was just disturbing)

[vesp]

Guess this thread just isn't for you then!

[Grudge]

the books are great, seremtan you should really check them out - I'm sure you'll love all the incest and midget-sex

seriously, they're very good (and indeed, there is plenty of incest and midget sex)- if you hate the usual fantasy tropes you'll love them because GRRM loves to break them

[seremtan]

hey, i appreciate incest and midget-sex as much as the next red-blooded american

[bitWISE]

New trailer

[seremtan]

i'll probably grab ep 1 when it comes out, just to see if it really is as awful as it looks

[Don Carlos]

hmmmm

[MrPink]

I preferred the 20 seconds of trees trailer.

[bitWISE]

No posts yet? This shit looks to be seriously epic. Lots of stuff going on already in the first episode (and some excellent female casting ). Very interested in seeing what these White Walkers are and wtf their deal is.

[Ryoki]

I shall grab epi 1 and see what it is all about

Here be a rather praising preview thingie on the Guardian: http://www.guardian.co.uk/tv-and-radio/ ... the-gripes

Looks fantastic, but still won't be topping my excitement for the return of Doctor Who this Sat

I watched it last night. Pretty fuckin good so far. They weren't kidding when they said they wouldn't be scared to kill off main characters.

Also, I'm not sure what you mean by "excellent female casting". There's really only one hot chick, which is the girl that was forced to be married. The Kings wife is only meh, IMO...

> first ep
> "killing off main characters"

derp

[xer0s]

Well, I don't know if you can call them main, but characters that you would expect to stick around for a while...

[seremtan]

lol
