HBO, which last fall filmed a pilot for a TV series based on George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Fire and Ice fantasy novels, announced today that they are moving ahead with the project, called A Game of Thrones, after the first book in the series.
The cast includes Mark Addy, Sean Bean, Peter Dinklage, Jennifer Ehle, Iain Glen, and Lena Headey.
Nine more episodes will be filmed in Belfast starting in June, but a broadcast date for the series has not been announced.
Below is an image from the pilot.

Thanks God is on HBO.
This is utterly fantastic. Even if it only runs for one season, I’ll be happy. Very excited for the upcoming casting announcements for the rest of the season (Littlefinger especially!)
