Thanks, Wert. I don't know that I'd want it filmed anywhere else.

Edit: We get HBO first and the Brits get books first... hardly seems fair to me.

I hope that means it'll air on a British channel too, even if its just a couple of months behind the States...

Some news about the pilot episode!

No locations or casting director has been finalized, but they have mentioned the first and last lines of the pilot episode....

"We should start back."

and...

"The things I do for love."

New info from the producers

Also, Johnny from Tower of the Hand posted his idea of what the first epidsode might include(his idea only, not from HBO), for those that are interested...

First, Last Lines of Pilot

Culhwch · 3rd December 2008, 10:23 PM

That's seems like a neat start finish point. Particularly the end - a nice cliffhanger to make executives want to know more, hopefully...

Wiggum · 3rd December 2008, 10:24 PM

That is just effing schweet.

Thanks for the info.

Like the holiday av Culhwch, and LoW. (did you guys decide to dress the same this morning?)

It was entirely accidental, I asure you. Now I'm off to stand on the opposite side of the forum to Lady...

ratsy · 3rd December 2008, 11:38 PM

Yeah, and it in no way inspired me to put a santa hat on the Fool's Sceptre (which apparantly doenst show up after all) it works on my profile???? hmmm

Bazza · 4th December 2008, 05:29 AM

Quite exciting thanks for the info! I was reading what possible elements on westeros.org that would be included in the pilot, where they start it, end it etc. I'm glad to see they're going to include the intro fight with the wights north of the Wall. I wasn't sure if they'd exclude any kind of Other material in the interest of keeping things simple.

And I can see the Santa Hat Ratsy.

I think its a great end point for the pilot episode. Should be quite a shocker for those who haven't read the story!

Boaz · 4th December 2008, 07:32 PM

Wiggum in a Santa Hat?!?! No way, he's too much of a Scrooge.

By the way Lady, good scoop on the pilot update. I found it this morning and posted on the Winter is Coming thread... late again.

Stephen Aryan · 5th December 2008, 10:06 AM

I'm looking forward to this a lot and if they do it well I hope it leads on to a long running series, although they will have to chop some bits as HBO is usually 13 episodes a season from the shows I've watched. Seven run anyone?

Wiggum · 5th December 2008, 02:34 PM

I love it LoW!

Can you pm/email me the jpeg?

That's awesome!

Whatever Boaz, I know your heart is two sizes too small.

Werthead · 9th December 2008, 09:57 PM

An anonymous poster on the Winter is Coming blog claims to have seen a copy of the script. According to him the pilot starts and ends as promised and includes not just the prologue and all the moments up to Bran's tumble (including Jon and Tyrion's moment outside the feast hall, Robert and Ned in the crypts etc) but also Dany's first two chapters, more or less in their entirety (including us meeting Jorah Mormont and Viserys), ending on her wedding night to Khal Drogo.

This has led to some speculation that Dany's storyline is going to be handled by condensing her chapters into several chunks and giving her substantial parts of some episodes, whilst skipping other episodes entirely. This makes sense, as otherwise you'd have a five-minute Dany scene that doesn't really go anywhere in every episode. Having say 15-20 minutes of Dany every three or four episodes may be a better approach. It reminds me of how they handle some of the secondary characters in Rome, Lost and Heroes.

Charming Serpent · 9th December 2008, 10:23 PM

Word. Now all I have to do it get cast as Oberyn and we're all set. :P
