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.

Secondly, I think that if the pilot ends with "The things I do for love" the studio heads will have my exact reaction of "oh shit, this isn't your ordinary story! George isn't fucking around!"
Given that there will probably be pilots from a dozen shows and only 1 or 2 making the cut, I really hope that attention is paid to the parts of the beginning story that captivated most readers.
Bran falling
Discovery of the wolves
Dany's marriage
Coolness of the King coming to visit
Hope this is done well and isn't going to follow the likes of Earthsea or The Seeker. *shudder*
