A Song of Ice and Fire Coming to HBO
Word came out last week that HBO has acquired the TV and film rights to George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire series. It’s currently my favorite ongoing series. It even inspired the name of this website.
Turning a series like this to film presents some problems. Do they make a miniseries or movie based on one book or do they combine several books? The books are so long and jam-packed that a lot would be lost in either case. I think they have come up with a great solution. They are making it a TV show and each season of the show will cover one book in the series. Why has no one tried this before? I’m sure it’s a long way off, but I’m excited.
