With the entire world waiting anxiously for the next year’s hit HBO series “A Game of Thrones” to be released. (well, me and lots of people anyway), news has come down to some of the initial casting. With such amazing source material, this series should become one of the most successful shows for HBO ever.
The first casting news that came down was that Peter Dinklage would play one of the key characters, Tyrion. Dinklage should do a great job and the cast should be strong with him at the head.
Next, and most exciting, is that the King in the North, Lord of Winterfell, Eddard Stark would be played by Sean Bean. Boromir himself as Ned Stark. This is most exciting because it means that HBO is serious about making “A Game of Thrones” into a key franchise for the network. You don’t typically get someone like Sean Bean to be in your series if you’re not serious about making it, and making it good.
Some of the other characters have also been cast and filming should begin in a couple of months for the first episode. Can’t wait to sign up for HBO next fall.
