HBO greenlights ‘Game of Thrones’ to series

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

Winter is, indeed, coming.

HBO has greenlighted highly anticipated fantasy series “Game of Thrones.”

The premium network has picked up the project for a first season debut next spring (below is the first released photo from the series). Nine episodes plus the pilot have been ordered. Production will begin in Belfast this June.

From the moment the project was first announced in development, the series based on the George R.R. Martin novels has generated enormous, perhaps unprecedented, online interest for a series at such an early stage.

The sprawling tale set in the mythical land of Westeros tells the story of the noble Stark family who become caught up in high court intrigue when patriarch Eddard (played by Sean Bean) becomes the king’s new right-hand man. The four-and-counting books in the series would each be used as one season of the series.

Unlike many fantasy novels, the “Thrones” series largely avoids relying on magical elements and instead goes for brutal realism — think “Sopranos” with swords. Martin, a former TV writer (“Beauty and the Beast”), writes each chapter as a cliffhanger, which should lend itself well to series translation.

(For those who are confused, Lena Headey has been cast as one of the leading ladies!)

Game of Thrones Co-Star Chats About Working with Lena Headey

Thursday, November 26th, 2009

54171_Lena_Headey_by_Andrew_Orth_2_122_399loIn a recent interview with Danish television news site TvTid, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau talked about, among other things, the Game of Thrones pilot (original Danish version). More specifically, he spoke of working with Lena Headey, riding a horse and, of course, his nose.

How was it to work closely with an international star like Lena Headey?

- It was a really good experience. She is super sweet and talented – and she’s very fun. She was also pregnant during filming, but not so far along that you could see it clearly. Yet she was forced to have a stand-in in a nude scene with me.

A nude scene? Don’t you play brother and sister?

- Yes, it is true… but nevertheless she is completely naked. I can not dwell on why. You may see in the series.

YAYY!!! Congrats to Lena & her hubby!

ST. TRINIAN’S arrives January 46

Wednesday, November 18th, 2009

2009_st_trinians_007Sony Pictures Home Entertainment have announced the U.S. release of the comic strip-based British comedy ‘St. Trinian’s‘ on DVD January 26, 2010.

The film star Rupert Everett, Colin Firth, Lena Headey, Russell Brand and Mischa Barton. The DVD will have special features such as a making-of featurette, bloopers, deleted scenes and a music video performed by U.K. pop sensation Girls Aloud, who also make a cameo in the film.

St. Trinian’s‘ will be available for the suggested price of $24.96.

St. Trinian’s‘, the infamous school for ‘young ladies,’ is in trouble. Despite being an old flame of its Headmistress (in a top-of-his-class comic performance by Ruper Everett), the new Education Minister is shaking things up and the school is facing financial ruin. But the students of St. Trinian’s aren’t going to give up without a fight. After all, they excel at chaos and attitude not chemistry and algebra…and that’s exactly what it’s going to take to beat the authorities before they close down their beloved school for good. Starring Colin Firth, Lena Headey, Russell Brand and Caterina Murino. Also starring Mischa Barton, Talulah Riley and Gemma Arterton, with a cameo appearance by U.K. sensation Girls Aloud. Based on the popular drawings of ‘The Girls of St. Trinian’s‘ by Ronald Searle, and following the hit film series of the 1950’s and 60’s.

The film is directed and produced by Oliver Parker and Barnaby Thompson, and is written by Piers Ashworth and Nick Moorcroft.

“Game Of Thrones” Pilot Goes into Production

Wednesday, October 14th, 2009
Nice Fan Poster :)

Nice Fan Poster :)

Lena Headey’s new pilot “GAME OF THRONES” is about to go into production. Here are some details about it:

HBO says the official start date of production on the pilot of “Game of Thrones,” one of the network’s most hotly anticipated projects, is Oct. 24.

Principal photography begins in earnest the following week in Northern Ireland. Other filming locations reportedly include Scotland and Morocco (HBO has not confirmed those locations, but George R.R. Martin, the author of the book series on which “Thrones” is based, has said he plans to go to Morocco for the filming of part of the pilot).

The network also confirmed that Isaac Hempstead-Wright has been cast in the key role of Bran Stark, the son of Eddard Stark, a powerful lord. Bran is a child as the epic “Thrones” book series begins, but his role becomes increasingly important to the story as it progresses.

HBO’s “Thrones” pilot, which has not yet been picked up as a series, is based on the first book of Martin’s “A Song of Ice and Fire” series of novels.

I reported in September that Lena Headey has been cast as Cersei Lannister, a member of a powerful family in the “Thrones” saga. Other cast members include Peter Dinklage as Cersei’s brother Tyrion, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau as Cersei’s twin, Jaime, Sean Bean as the aristocrat Ned Stark, Jennifer Ehle as his wife Catelyn Stark and Mark Addy as King Robert.

An HBO representative said that the role of Khal Drogo, another key role in the book series, has not yet been cast.

The Twitter page of actor Jamie Campbell Bower (“Twilight New Moon,” AMC’s “The Prisoner”) says that he’s headed to Belfast, and fan speculation has him cast as “Thrones’” Waymar Royce, but that has not yet been officially confirmed by HBO (if I get confirmation, I’ll update this post).
