Come On Hbo !! - Science Fiction Fantasy Chronicles: forums

Knight of the Day · 15th November 2007, 07:04 PM

HI EVERYONE.
Been a while but just wanted to ask if anyone has read about HBO dumping ASOIAF?

Apparently they have an option for a King Arthur series.... boooorrrrring ARTHUR AND MERLIN AGAIN.....................

Has anyone thought about putting together a little petition and bombarding HBO with emails on a specific day?????

If we could organise it here we could contact all other ASOIAF sites to join in. PEOPLE POWER STYLE.

LETS SEE WHO's INTERESTED

Heyo KotD....

While yer reading this, hit yer back button on your browser and count down about 7 or 8 threads for the latest thread we have regarding the HBO situation.

There you the latest info we have on this site. Thanks to the inestimable and slightly cognizant Werthead.....

So, a petition to HBO. How geek, Star Trek convention-like.

Well, until the strike of the writer's guild is settled, I guess we might not see much movement on any new series.

Meanwhile I am enjoying the politics, sex and sin of The Tudors.

Whilst the King Arthur series is a potential problem, ASoIaF is a long way from being dead. In fact if HBO wanted to press ahead with a project at the moment (during the writer's strike) they're more likely to pick ASoIaF because the pilot script is complete and there is much more material available for them to start work on.

A representative of a 'rival' fantasy author was going around a few days back telling everyone that ASoIaF had been canned, which turned out to be a load of rubbish.

How many more King Arthur mini-series does the world really need? Geez.

Do tell who this 'rival" fantasy author is. If it's who I think it is, it would only further solidify my opinion of that loser.

Aegon the Unworthy · 23rd November 2007, 10:23 PM

Wait.....George has a rival?

Is this one of those one-sided kinda things....like the Yankees/Red Sox for 60 years? You cant really call it a rivalry if one side is consistently better than the other....

Thats like saying Peanut Butter has a rival for best thing to put on bread....

Behold.

Aegon the Unworthy · 23rd November 2007, 11:44 PM

Damn Wert...why you have to carpsmack that chowderhead so damn effectively.

I will never ever disagree with you with making sure I have a reliable pair of Depends on. I may soil myself.

TK-421 · 26th November 2007, 02:23 PM

It is confirmed then Wert and it's who I thought it was. Good for you.

Like Egg once said:

"Ain't nothing gonna break my stride. Ain't nothing gonan hold me down, Oh no! I got to keep on moving..."

viZion · 26th November 2007, 04:00 PM

Sooo....who is it? I read that entire thread that was Werthead linked to and still couldn't figure it out. Terry Goodkind? Is there some reason the name can't be mentioned?

LuxoDave · 26th November 2007, 05:05 PM

If I read it correctly, then you picked the right name.

chopper · 26th November 2007, 08:04 PM

Dang, werthead, that was some kicking you gave the guy. how long did it take to remove your boot afterwards?

good shooting!

Boaz · 13th February 2008, 10:02 AM

Well, the writer's strike is over. This should allow HBO to get back to work on ASOIAF. I wonder how many current projects they have and how they'll allocate resources to the project.

DeannaBelle · 13th February 2008, 10:12 PM

I am not patient enough to read that whole thread. I just picked on the ame "Jack Whyte," but I see you're pobably talking about Terry Goodind.

Who is he, and is he any good?

Oh, and is this like one of those Red Sox/Yankees disputes where the fan base cannot be mutual? In other words, suppose I read Terry Goodkind ... would I then be excommnnuicated from the GRRM forum?
