Casting on the HBO pilot of A GAME OF THRONES continues, but there's not much I can say about it, except in generalities. Another of the supporting roles has been filled, I am told, and offers have been made on several more. Now we're waiting to see if those deals will close, which of course depends on things like schedule, terms, money, and such. If all the pieces fall into place, we'll have some exciting and talented additions to the cast.
No, I have no idea when HBO will make their next cast announcement.
Two major roles and some small ones remain unfilled as I write.
Looks like I will be flying over to Ireland to watch some of the filming. Still trying to figure out the dates. Since I will be over there anyway, it seems like a good opportunity to meet some of my Irish fans, so I will likely be doing a couple of signings while I'm there. One in Belfast, almost certainly, and maybe a second in Dublin. We'll see what arrangements can be made. Details will here and on my Appearances page, once I know 'em.

Sounds like everything is coming together well. Will they let you take pictures on the set?

The casting seems to be going so well...I'm so happy that HBO seems to be trying so hard to do your work justice!
Oh, and I hope I'll be in Ireland for the signings, if there are some... since I've recently offered the first books to my Irish boyfriend and he seems to like them, shouldn't be too difficult to convince him to come with me...
Anyway, good luck with everything !
And how 'bout a complimentary tour of Trinity College and viewing of the Book of Kells from some devout aSoIaf fans to entice ya down from Belfast??? Heh heh ;-)
(Hell, what am i saying? I'll make the trip up to belfast anyway!)
If you don't have Hodor in place, you might as well just cancel the whole thing :(
Assuming that's the case, I wonder if the Drogo search has gone to Bollywood yet. The movie industry in India dwarfs that of Hollywood in terms of sheer numbers of films put out per year. No, not all of them are of high quality, but whatever the case ,there's bound to be at least a few really big guys there with more-or-less the right look (who probably play heavies in their actioners) who could be right for the role.
I know politics isn't your main concern, and I hate to ask, but it'd be great if you could do a signing in Dublin in addition to one in Belfast. My family is split 50-50 when it comes to Irish politics, but you're the whole family's favorite author. It might be a lot to ask, but I'd be personally very grateful if you showed a little love to both sides of the border.
It's an awesome convesntion and probably a great place to do both a signing and publicise other stuff.
I promise you the con is real gem. The people there are friendly beyond belief and it is the home of the original Irish Gaming Charity Auction that has won a Diana Jones award for excellence in gaming for just beyong generous to charity to the point of madness, all in the name of gaming - http://wapedia.mobi/en/Diana_Jones_award
Give it a thought!
please don't die you're so much better
Great news! I hope you have a ball when you come over to Belfast for your set visit. Don't let the dirty Dubs pester you about going to their beautiful city:)! They are spoiled when it comes to the big acts and celebs visiting, so for once I don't think it would hurt them to pop up on the train. Sorry, my southern cousins!

Interestingly, Treme and Boardwalk Empire don't.
hope to see you in Belfast!
And you can consider the resources of Studio NI at your disposal.
:)
Thanks for all the good readin' so far George, you breathed some fresh life into the genre for me. G'luck, T.
I think you would really love the Literary Pub Crawl in Dublin. It's well worth the two hours.

I got my tickets through Viator for about $17.
