baleanopteraRumor has it that ASOIAF will be made into a tv-series.
By HBO none the less, and yet I'm strangely hesitant.
True - it could turn out to be a magnificent production, and turn me into even more of a geeky fangirl (with a [insert squee as deemed necessary] function). Lord of the Rings did after all turn out quite nicely.
But - not every director is a Peter Jackson. Also - and this is my biggest "if"- the series isn't finished yet. Is it really so wise to start producing a series were no one as yet knows the outcome?
Now they did start to make the Harry Potter films before the series was finished, but I'm not sold on that as a good thing. The production of the movies did after all run into some serious trouble when Rowling got writers block around book 4 and 5. Not only were they running out of material, but the young cast was growing up to fast. A similar predicament could easily plague an ASOIAF production.
So I guess I'm rather hesitant to the whole project....
...which is not the same as saying that I never play "the casting game" aka which actors would fit what role (and as long as no one says Sawyer from Lost would make a good Jaime then all is good. ;P).
