A Song of Ice and Fire...the TV Series?

[Speedball]

HBO is turning George R.R. Martin’s series of “A Song of Ice and Fire” fantasy novels

into a TV series. The plan is to adapt one novel each season, starting with 1996’s “A Game of Thrones.”
Writing the HBO version are Martin himself (who previously wrote on CBS' "Beauty and the Beast") and feature writers David Benioff (“The 25th Hour,” “Troy”) and D.B. Weiss (who authored a screenplay for the proposed “Halo” movie).
These are apparently very long, grown-up fantasy novels, with thousands of characters – the major ones quite flawed and complex - and lots of sex, violence and political intrigue.

I hope this is true. I'm reading the first novel right now (the one pictured), and it's amazing.
Guess I'm gonna need to get HBO

And at the rate Martin is going, it will take about 6 years for the last 2 books to come out, the 7th book coming out just in time to be adapted into the last season.

Bump!
I finished the first two books, and I'm deeply into the third.
I can't wait to see the Battle of King's Landing. It's gonna be bigger and more intense than any battle in Lord of the Rings.

Good Lord!
I'm done with the third book, and it's crazy.
It'll make for a great third season.
