Interview with George R.R. Martin - mostly about his new book, but some information about Game of Thrones:

Quote
There has been confirmation that The Song of Ice & Fire will be turned into a TV series by HBO. Is true that you keep the right to write the script for one chapter a year?

Yes, it is true; I will write one script per year for the TV series. 

Quote
Is not weird that they will start the filming of the TV series, but still nobody knows the final for the Song of Ice & Fire (apart from you)? When they start to shoot the beginning, they do not even know how it ends…

Yeah, sure they donīt. I am going to be wasting them! Well, they are going to do 7 seasons and I am doing 7 books. They are going to do a season a year, but it is taking me 2-3 years or sometimes more to wreck these books, so I donīt know, hopefully I can finish the 7 books before they get to the seventh season! Hehehe… 

Seven Seasons...

Please... please let Bean be so enthralled by the series that he wants to do Benjen Stark...

I was following this story a bit while away. great that he's got a leading part in something -as a goodie-that might just kick start his career again-if he lets it. Great for Northern Ireland and Lady Jane! Shame about the ending though....

Jennifer Ehle has been cast as Catelyn Stark - that's what GRRM's sooper sekrit was.

I'm not familiar with Jennifer Ehle.  I looked her up and I don't think that I've seen any of her movies.  She is lovely and I see that she is 10 years younger than Sean.

I just started this book. I'm in the first few chapters. I Don't really see her as Catelyn, but that may change once I get to see the film.

Ohh Jennifer Ehle, good choice. She played Elizabeth Bennet opposite Colin Firth as the delish Mr Darcy in BBCs Pride and Prejudice

She actually reminds me of Mel, but whoever she reminds us of, the  :bride: probably hates it, because the first scene in the book where they are both together in the book is a post-coital one and they are both naked.

There was no nudity, on Ned's part, in the script that was leaked. But perhaps now that Sean's been  (!) cast, they will add some, keep us all happy and exploit his most attractive ass(et).

Ned gets out of the bed, post-coital, sweaty.  He goes and stands in front of the open window and thinks about how much he likes the sharpe cold air and goosebumps come up on his skin.    Catelyn tells him to come away from the window before he catches cold.  If he's not naked in the book you have, then its been heavily censored. BJ just finished reading that part and he's naked in her Dutch version also.
