HOLLYWOOD REPORTER has broken the story, so I’m now free to comment on a juicy little nugget of GAME OF THRONES news that I’ve been sitting on for a week or so:<\/p>\n
Neil Marshall has been signed to direct an episode for our second season.<\/p>\n
For those of you who have been living under a rock for the past ten years or so, Marshall is the director of CENTURION, of DOG SOLDIERS, and — especially — of THE DESCENT, which I think may well be the best horror film of the past twenty years or so. (Do NOT confuse it with the sequel, a much weaker film). GAME OF THRONES will be his first foray into television.<\/p>\n
And my comment? <\/p>\n
That sound you hear is a high-pitched squeal of delight. <\/p>\n
I love Marshall’s work, in case you couldn’t tell. <\/p>\n
And what makes this especially exciting is that the episode he’ll be directing is… mine. Yes. He’s going to directing episode nine, “Blackwater.” The Battle of the Blackwater.<\/p>\n
I still don’t how the hell we can possibly afford to do half of what I put into that script, but if anyone can pull off my budget-busting battle, it’s Marshall. <\/p>\n
