www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/television/news/e3ie9098baec9eb95cdf64383a225032180HBO has given a pilot order to the fantasy TV series Game of Thrones, based on George R. R. Martin's epic series "A Song of Fire and Ice". It will be written and executive produced by David Benioff (25th Hour, Troy) and D. B. Weiss. Also on board as producers are Carolyn Strauss, Guymon Cassidy, Vincent Gerardis and author George R. R. Martin. According to Martin, the BBC will come on board as a partner if the series goes ahead. He also assures fans that the final script is extremely faithful to "A Game of Thrones". HBO acquired the rights to the books back in January 2007. It the show is successful, the plan is to adapt each novel into one season of television. The pilot is expected to be shot in Europe or New Zealand. nice

from George R. R. Martin's "Not a Blog"... blog:
HBO has given the production order.
They will be filming the pilot episode of A GAME OF THRONES.
It's just the pilot so far. They'll need to see that before they decide whether to proceed with a full season's episodes. So let's all hope the pilot will kick serious ass.
It should. David Benioff and Dan Weiss did a terrific job with the script. And yes, all of you can relax, it's very faithful. Dan and David will be the executive producers for the pilot and (we hope) the eventual series.
More details when I have 'em. The news is very fresh. HBO just issued their own press release, which should be up on their website soon, if it's not there already.
Winter is coming to HBO. Hot damn.
