With the show's premiere this April 17th, HBO has released a brand new trailer for the extremely expensive and spectacular epic series GAME OF THRONES and some new posters and images. This television adaptation of the famous epic fantasy saga A SONG OF
ICE AND FIRE by George R. R. Martin, chronicling the violent dynastic struggles among noble families for control of the Iron Throne of the land of Westeros, will probably cover one book in one season starring Sean Bean, Jason Momoa, Mark Addy, Lena Headey and many other actors!
Summers span decades. Winters can last a lifetime. And the struggle for the Iron Throne has begun. It will stretch from the south where heat breeds plots, lusts and intrigues; to the vast and savage eastern lands; all the way to the frozen north, where an
800-foot wall of ice protects the kingdom from the dark forces that lie beyond. Kings and queens, knights and renegades, liars, lords and honest men…all will play the GAME OF THRONES.
Here's the official plot of the show: 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 a 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.
And PS don't forget to visit MELISSA'S IMAGINARIUM, the home of my darling Melissa Bradley, one of the knights of Dezmond's round table ;) She's already written tones of books, but her latest work BYZANTINE PROVOCATEUR has just been published this weekend. If you like super sensual tales you will like this erotic and exotic adventure set in the most magical of places, Istanbul! So, head over there and say Hi! to Melissa! And buy her book!

That's amazing. Love it.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, I'm watching too many series already, but it's always good to have something for the future. Smallville is ending anyway.
Oh and don't worry you didn't know about my gender. I like that it's controversial and neutral. It opens up new possibilities.

You mustn't miss out on this one, Nahno, it will be wonderfully epic and fantastic ;)
ReplyDeleteGame of Thrones does interest me. The books would convert easily into a series.
ReplyDeleteit should, Lyndy, they said they will probably cover one book in one season, if the show proves popular enough, which I do not doubt it will.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty excited for Game of Thrones.
ReplyDeleteMy friend read the book and told me it was awesome.
it is awesome, Raw, one of the biggest epic sagas beside LORD OF THE RINGS!
ReplyDeleteBummer we no longer get HBO.
ReplyDeleteI am so honored to be a knight of your round table, Dez. Thank you so much for the promo. Too cool. Big huge hugs to you, my wonderful, sweet friend.
ReplyDeleteGame of Thrones is going to be wicked hot. Sean Bean, Jason Momoa, and sexual intrigues... No need for another word. I'm sold. ;)
An 800 foot wall of ice? Now that's what I call giving your enemies the cold shoulder.

well, lady Bradley, every knight of My Royal Naughtiness deserves a bit of marketing at my court :) Especially if they are the members of my Royal Privy like yourself ;)
@Arlee
I've always liked that expression COLD SHOULDER, you should check out the song with the same name over at YouTube sang by Adelle, I think you would like it.
@Emily
ReplyDeleteI'm always shocked when people from USA tell me they don't have a cable or satellite TV :)
@Mason

@Vics

@LaTasha

This is so effing awesome. I CANNOT WAIT!
ReplyDeleteI listened to the COLD SHOULDER song. I'd never heard of it or of Adele. I liked the song and Adele's jazzy singing voice.

I"m pretty excited to watch Game of Thrones. My brother is a huge George Martin fan, so he's kind of coaxed me into getting into the series.
ReplyDeleteAlso, nice shout out for Melissa!
Game of Thrones looks great. It's a pity I've been waiting for next book in series for so long, I've grown some resentment towards this "franchise". :( Plus, I already know what's going to happen in this TV series. :)
ReplyDeleteStill, I envy the people who haven't read the books so far. This will probably be a great story/experience for them.
I am so excited about this it's not funny! I am also super excited because the next book is going to be released this July!
ReplyDeletethat sounds really cool, Dezzy. We haven't had HBO since the Sopranos went off the air, but it's stuff like this that makes me wish we stil had it~ :o) <3
ReplyDeleteOoh, looks cool. I, like Leigh, don't have HBO, but I will happily wait for this to show up on Netflix :) Thanks for the heads up.

@Arlee
see, I knew you would like it :)She is currently rocking the charts with her latest hit ROLLING INTO DEEP which I played here in my music sidebar for a week or two :)
@Matty
you should give a shoutout to Melissa at your place too :) Knights of Dezmond's table should support each other :)
@Bels
ReplyDeleteI've never read the books, so I'm guessing I will enjoy the show more now? :) I hear HBO will broadcast it later on this April for Central Europe.
@Allyson
ah, yes, I've heard the new book is also coming out :)
@Leigh
maybe it's time to bring HBO back to your home? :)
@ROsie
be welcome, glad you liked it, Rosie ;)
Very good post.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing this one. :D
ReplyDelete@Movies and MPax
ReplyDeleteglad you like it ladies :)
Oh dear, now this is a reason to get cable! Sean Bean AND Nikolaj (who I like a lot in New Amsterdam that was canceled too soon). Gorgeous pictures, Dezzy, you never disappointed me! I especially love the one of Nikolaj with the horse... VERRRRY Aragorn-like :D
ReplyDeleteThis isn't necessarily something I would watch on my own but I must say it sounds and looks pretty interesting! I just might have to watch it in April! : )
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I made some more cupcakes, especially for my lovely followers (to see)!! It's too bad you can't actually have one, I'm sorry. ; )
@Flixy
ReplyDeletethat Nikolaj guy is quite interesting, isn't he? :) He could easily become one of your and mine new obsessions :)
@Nicole
April will be a month of new epic shows with great sets, amazing costumes and fantastic plots, so you might wanna watch GAME OF THRONES, THE BORGIAS or CAMELOT :)
The cupcakes were lovely! :)
He's quite the charmer in New Amsterdam, I was hoping he'd back leading another show after that got canceled.
