Regina Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Thank you for giving us this confirmation, Parris! I've been squuueeeing all morning, but I was afraid we'd learn the story was a hoax. If writing to HBO will help, I'm very happy to do so. Anyone in particular we should flood with letters? ETA: Email sent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingosatemybaby Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 From HBO's site, in case anyone (else) wants to drop HBO a line: "How can I contact HBO to express my opinions about their programming? You may contact HBO's Consumer Affairs Department at 212-512-1208 Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM until 5:00 PM Eastern Time. You can also write to us using the link below" The link: http://www.hbo.com/apps/submitinfo/contact...iontype=general Not sure if these are the right people to contact, but this was all I could find.

Xray the Enforcer Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 From the little I've seen of Clive Owen, the only thing he has going for him is the cleft in his chin. That chin cleft has more going for it than many other actors, though. I just wanna see annoying people die, I'm not much picky the who or when. And Clive's on the top of that list.

Edd Tollett Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Yeah, a definitive number or address to send our thanks would be helpful. I've sent thanks via their web form, but would like to know it is being heard by the right people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunglerm00se Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Not sure what it says about my life that this news made me giddy. Perhaps I need a hobby. Or a pet. Naah. This is good news. Can't wait to see how it comes along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parris Posted January 17, 2007 Author Share Posted January 17, 2007 In my excitement, I've forgotten to send along my hearty congratulations as well. Thanks X-Ray and everybody, this has been an on-off-on project for many months, and we couldn't say anything to anyone. George's email box is overflowing with notes from people who have read the news this morning. I'm waiting for the first message from somebody he worked with out in Hollywood but hasn't heard from in a decade to inquire if there's a job/script/episode they can work on. Please remember folks, this is just an option. HBO has not 'greenlighted' pre-production, let alone hired directors, paid for the scripts to be written, set a production schedule or put it into their programming. At the least, I don't think we'll see AGoT until 2009, more likely 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stego Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 WRITE to HBO, people. Write twice. Send a postcard. Make a phone call. Then do it again next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werthead Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 On a scale of 1 to 10 on the Awesometer, this ranks at a solid 9.2. I did have a brainwave earlier on today which may have been me subliminally picking up on this news: Ciaran Hinds as Tywin (since my previous choice, Patrick Stewart, was getting on a bit and is probably too expensive now)? Hmm. And congrats to George. I'm guessing he'd want to write either the first or last episode of each season? I know there are going to be compromises in the story (hopefully minor) and it's good to know that these will be done under George's supervision.

niamh Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Rutger Hauer I'm sure I proposed him as Tywin in one of the numerous casting threads I wanna Chris Lee as Jorah Mormont, Monica Bellucci as Melisandre and Chris Walken as Roose And tat's the budget gone after that, no doubt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tenalpia Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 WRITE to HBO, people. Write twice. Send a postcard. Make a phone call. Then do it again next month. Done - had to put in a .com email address on their feedback form for them to accept it but they've got their feedback from a crazy Scot... and they'll keep getting it until i see this in production - dammit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Iceman of the North Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Tywin? I always thought Monica Bellucci would be perfect for that role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. X Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Excellent news! Congrats to all involved. I want Daneil Day Lewis to play Ned. Fine choice. OsRavan as Hodor! And Stego as Varys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajamieson Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Unless Stego has some hidden talents in method acting, I think we'd be in for a very different Varys:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
