    Not new, but exciting.

    HBO Greenlights Fantasy Television Pilot for George R.R. Martin’s A Game of Thrones



    In a brilliant stroke of casting, Peter Dinklage will play "The Imp", Tyrion Lannister.



    And indeed there will be time To wonder, "Do I dare?" and, "Do I dare?". t s eliot

      I wish I had a name like "Dinklage"
      To us, it is the BEAST.

              And yet another loser of a TV program/movie to be prostituted from a decent fantasy novel.

                  Name me a single TV program or movie from a fantasy novel (sword and sorcery types not Harry Potter) that isnt a POS. Dont bother with LOTR, I could barely watch that travesty.

                    ? LOTR was really, really good.

                    Dinklage is a great actor. Never heard of the book before, but I'll keep an eye out for this.

                      True that. He was terrific in the short-lived network series Threshold.
                      The book is actually book 1 from the 'A Song of Ice and Fire' series.

                          So if hasn't been good before never try? I can see that people come to you for innovation.

                            Not for me. There were too many pointless changes from the book and I think their portrayal of Frodo was an abomination.

                            Dinklage is a great actor. Never heard of the book before, but I'll keep an eye out for this.
                            I'm not sure he's great, but he certainly is good.

                            The book series is very worth reading.

                              OK I was a bit negative. I'm still traumatized from watching Conan The Barbarian 27 years ago.
