HBO has just exercised its option, and purchased the television rights to A GAME OF THRONES.
What they have NOT done is greenlight the project. A GAME OF THRONES remains in development. They're still budgeting, still looking at locations (Spain and the Czech Republic at present, I hear). No decision has been reached, so any celebration would be premature. In Hollywood it is always best not to assume something is going to happen until it actually happens.
Even so... this is a very encouraging sign, and one that suggests a continued high level of enthusiasm and commitment for A GAME OF THRONES at HBO.
So keep your fingers crossed.
Т.о. есть неплохие шансы, что HBO таки будет экранизировать "Игру престолов" Мартина в формате сериала.
Если кто запамятовал - то на счету у HBO бесконечно прекрасный "Deadwood" и широко расхваленный "Рим".
Уж эти-то снимут!
UPD. На самом деле новость - старая и работа над сериалом уже полным ходом идет.
