Well, the first two beans, anyway. There will be many more beans to come.
But HBO has signed a director for the GAME OF THRONES pilot, and the first cast member has come aboard as well.
The pilot will be helmed by Tom McCarthy, director of THE VISITOR and THE STATION AGENT.
And playing Tyrion Lannister will be Peter Dinklage, who was almost everyone's "dream casting" for the role (he certainly was mine):
You can read more details in THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER, which broke the news this morning:

I'm thrilled.
Things are starting to move a lot faster now. The rest of the year is going to be exciting!

I'm glad it's a format and channel that will do the source material justice.
Will Peter Dinklage dye his hair blond? He seems great, but the blondness is so tied up with the Lannisterness... it just wouldn't seem quite right if he (and Jamie and Cerci and all) weren't blond...
I just got so excited that I had to Thumper tap on my desk to express it. The image is perfect for Tyrion. It will be a much better image in my head than Hoggle from the Labyrinth (I'm 26ish--I grew up wathcing that movie too much).
Considering how excited I know I am, I cannot even begin to image the joy you are feeling right now. Congrats and Thank You.
