A Game of Thrones

- Is going to be a wicked ass television show based off of the Best Selling books in the series "A Song of Ice and Fire" it's being made by HBO and they are putting more money towards the first season of it than they have towards any seasons of any of their series yet. Even if you haven't read the books the show will still be awesome.
(Best 4 Books I've ever read, with 3 more coming) (If you have the slightest interest in books you should check out the first one called "A Game of Thrones" on either audiobook which is really cool or just on hardback)

Summary:
Seven noble families fight for control of the mythical land of Westeros. Political and sexual intrigue abound. The primary families are the Stark, Lannister, and Baratheon families. Robert Baratheon, King of Westeros, asks his old friend Eddard Stark to serve as his chief advisor. Eddard, suspecting that his predecessor had been murdered, accepts so that he can investigate further. It turns out more than one family is plotting to take the throne. The Queen's family, the Lannisters, may be hatching an incestuous plot to take control. Across the sea, the last surviving members of the previously deposed ruling family, the Targaryens, are also plotting a return to power. The conflict between these families and others, including the Greyjoys, the Tullys, the Arryns, and the Tyrells, leads to war. Meanwhile, in the north, an ancient evil awakens. Amidst war and the political confusion, a brotherhood of misfits, The Night's Watch, is all that stands between the realms of men and the horrors beyond.

- George RR Martin the author: Is not afraid to show the violent and vile sides of human nature, he will kill your favorite characters off without a moments hesitation
Murder, Deceit, Torture, Rape, Gore, nothing is off limits for Martin which makes these books so surreal...let's just say they aren't your hero wins the day/girl type of thing...only the strong survive

Peter Dinklage (Who has played in the movie Elf is a dwarf that plays the part of a dwarf named Tyrion Lannister, brother to Jamie and Cersie.)
He's a genius in the books and provided some comic relief. He was probably one of my favorite characters lol.



Iain Glen (Who played the bad guy off of Tomb Raider 1 will be Ser Jorah Mormont, A middle aged and reliable knight in service to Daenerys Targaryen, one of the two last surviving members of house Targaryen which held the Iron Throne for centuries until about 20 years ago when their whole house was murded off in a civil war, children, women, and all.



Natalia Tena (IMDB shows that she has played in some Harry Potters movies lol, oh well she's super hot and plays one of my favorite characters Osha Greyjoy, equal parts sexy and deadly.
