The hairy bear Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 (edited) Sounds very, very good!! So, we should limit the casting for the pilot to the charachters appearing in the prologue + the fisrt 8 chapters. This limits it to (in speaking order in the books): 1-Gared 2-Waymar Royce 3-Will 4-Eddard Stark 5-Jon Snow 6-Robb Stark 7-Bran Stark 8-Theon Greyjoy 9-Jory Cassel 10-Hullen 11-Harwin 12-Catelyn Tully 13-Viserys Targaryen 14-Dany Targaryen 15-Magister Illyrio 16-Robert Baratheon 17-Benjen Stark 18-Tyrion Lannister 19-Maester Luwin 20-Septa Mordane 21-Arya Stark 22-Sansa Stark 23-Jeyne Poole 24-Beth Cassel 25-Rodrik Cassel 26-Joffrey Baratheon 27-Cersei Lannister 28-Jaime Lannister Also, there're significant carachters that appear in the chapters without lines: 29-Rickon Stark 30-Sandor Clegane 31-Myrcella Baratheon 32-Tommen Baratheon 33-Jorah Mormont 34-Khal Drogo Finnaly, if you wanted to show flashbacks, you might cast: 35-Rhaegar Targaryen 36-Lyanna Stark Edited December 3, 2008 by The hairy bear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

admiral_atheist Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 This is so amazing... Is it normal that I get so excited every time you write here that I just want to jump and dance with joy? (Rhetorical question: of course it is!) Thanks for the update, and good luck for the busy times and work ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky Pierre Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Actors used in the pilot may not make it to an eventual series. Also-the possibility exists to use new actors from one season to the next. I don't really like it-but it can happen and it can work-esp if the aging is several years. You have this a lot with flashbacks already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halfhand Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 (edited) David & Dan, Thanks so much for answering my questions. You guys seriously are awesome for interacting with the fans in this way. Great to know the opening and closing scenes for the pilot! I guess the only question left is, for casting purposes of course, is Dany going to be in the pilot? Thanks again for the info, and check out [url="http://winter-is-coming.blogspot.com/"]my blog[/url] when you get a chance!

Stark_Naked Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Wow this is pretty exciting!! Just a suggestion for Dan and Dave... I do tech support for an online casting database that has locations in LA,NY,MIAMI, and SF. Since I heard the project was greenlighted for a pilot I've been sort of amusing myself doing searches of the database for actors that meet the description of various characters in the book. I realize you guys will be doing most of the shooting in the UK and may wish to do most of your casting for actors in that region, but maybe you would find the site a useful resource. Anyway the site is called castingnetworks.com. It's a closed database that only provides access to professional casting directors. I don't want to bore everyone on the forum with details but if you think using the site would be helpful I can provide them if you guys are interested. Either way good luck with the casting, and thanks for taking the input of the boards into account, it really means alot to those of us who love these books so much!
