Coverage of HBO’s upcoming TCA press event

I got AGOT audio book for my Birthday on Dec 21 and appearently there is a recall on all of the Audio books because they’re going through some sort of super secret reboot for the show.

(A Manger said that they were adding voices and sound affects.) not sure if that is true but it’s what I was told.

So they gave me the codes to download the old version on my Itunes and I’ll be getting the tie in CD’s in March.

So I thought I might put that out there for anyone interested.

*Whispers* I think that Martin might be announcing that some of the actors did some readings for the Audio Books. (Lena Headey, Sean Bean, The Dinkledge …)

though I could be wrong about that.

A full summary of the 15-min sneak peek.

HBO had hoped to show the pilot here at the winter TCA press tour, but it isn’t quite ready yet. So they put together 15 minutes of clips from what looks to be the first three episodes. And it is, in a word, amazing

Thoughts on the 'Game of Thrones' Sneak Peek Unveiled by HBO

Third favorite moments: Conversations between King Robert Baratheon and his old friend, Ned Stark. As King Robert Baratheon, Mark Addy is everything you'd hope for -- forceful, blunt, lively and powerful. And of course Sean Bean brings the necessary iron and gravity to the role of Ned Stark. They do appear to have the chemistry and history of old friends.

Fifth favorite moments: Ned Stark and Jaime Lannister face off. There were some delicious confrontations between the proud Jaime and the tough Ned.

Thanks for the pics, patch.  Ned was the first one I noticed in that last photo.

I do happen I happen to enjoy playing those kind of roles with riding horses and swinging swords and having fights and wearing wigs and growing beards, even though I don't first thing in the morning when it takes you about three hours to get ready," Bean smiled. "I do have affinity to that kind of role, and I think the good thing about Game of Thrones is that there is such score for it. Whereas Lord of the Rings, admittedly, there was three films and, you know, they thoroughly researched it, and it was very well replicated on screen. But with what George has created, it's a very different world. Goes on much, much further and much longer, and there's many more twists and turns, but I certainly enjoy this genre."

And how did Bean's foray into TV compare to big budget movies? "Everything was so detailed, so vast, and you know, it was a lot of work it was like working on a big feature film every week," Bean said of the production. "You think there's ten of these to start with, but each of those ten, to me, felt like a pretty hefty feature film. I think we really established a grand size, and there's also the fact it's been done by HBO, so you're in good standing. You got good people behind you, and it's an edgy as I said, an edgy, sexy, violent, dark, brutal piece where nobody's safe."

Some interviews are beginning to show up. Below is a link for a video interview for access hollywood. Sean looks good but the camera work is bad.

Sean Bean Interview GAME OF THRONES

Do you feel any additional pressure, knowing that the fans of this book basically hung their hopes and dreams for this series on you doing this role?

BEAN: Yeah, that’s quite a responsibility. Obviously, I was delighted when I first met (executive producers) David [Benioff] and Dan [Weiss]. I read the book and found it very exciting, very luxuriant, very dangerous, very edgy and very sexy. That’s very flattering. I’m very flattered that I was chosen to play this part.

He's good in what he does.

Bean: What a gracious person under fire. I agree that the interviewer, not matter what her master plan (I say with some incredulity), was irksome. He seemed to handle it well, though. I would have shown annoyance and regretted it. He proved his class and maturity here. As for professionalism, c’mon, the guy is going to be great. He’s Sean Bean. Okay, I’m biased. I’ve seen his films and I always liked him. I completely missed the *spoiler.*

Producer: HBO’s ‘Game Of Thrones’ Is ‘Beyond [Rated] R’

Sounds like that will be one of my favourite movie apart from the fact that Sean's inside there is a lot of........

While “Game” is a story of kings, queens and an ambitious set of twins with an unseated royal line, the story isn’t full of courtly romance. Instead, the series focuses on power struggles, hidden histories, brutality and battles.

“A lot of people get killed. George’s world is a violent world — there’s a lot of killing and bloodshed and evisceration’s and decapitations and there’s a lot of sex,” Benioff explained. “It’s one of the things that I loved about these books.”

Yep sounds good.

[Blue Jay]

Why do I have the feeling that it's the bloodshed, the eviscerations and the decapitations you're most excited about?
