polishgenius Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Exciting news, if they get this right it'll be both good and potentially important television. But I also worry, because despite the author's involvement it's going to be a very hard book to adapt, and also, because the themes, and heck the on-screen happenings, are going to need incredibly sensitive handling. Fingers crossed. It's a phenomenal novel, so I hope it goes well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorral Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Maybe not as now the author, black and female, has been erased from the heads-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, that's surely a bit unfortunate. It's still a very good sign that this novel will get the HBO treatment, regardless of GRRM being involved.

I don't know, to me it just looks like a very hasty crop to get the image to fit. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and say that they might have still cropped it that way if the author were a white male. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or HER image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I know, they're putting the focus on GRRM for the clicks, because he's way more famous and they want their money. Publications do the same thing with J.J. Abrams whenever he attaches his name to a TV show, even when he has little to do with it. I'm not saying it's not a dick move to leave out the author's name and image in favor of GRRM. I just won't jump to the conclusion that it's race or sex related. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
