HBO has given the production order.

They will be filming the pilot episode of A GAME OF THRONES.

It’s just the pilot so far. They’ll need to see that before they decide whether to proceed with a full season’s episodes. So let’s all hope the pilot will kick serious ass.

It should. David Benioff and Dan Weiss did a terrific job with the script. And yes, all of you can relax, it’s very faithful. Dan and David will be the executive producers for the pilot and (we hope) the eventual series.

More details when I have ’em. The news is very fresh. HBO just issued their own press release, which should be up on their website soon, if it’s not there already.

Winter is coming to HBO. Hot damn.

He collects Spider-Man and Conan the Barbarian comics.

That’s so cool that I’m willing to forgive him for being a Harry Potter fan.

I bet I have a better Spidey collection than he does, though.

Let’s just hope his spider-sense starts to tingle whenever the country is in danger.
