January 17, 200719 yr A Song of Ice and Fire http://www.chud.com/index.php?type=thud&id=8544 Yes, they are planning a 7 season Song of Ice and Fire series. This coming only like a month after their announcement of a 5 season Preacher series. HBO = Teh Awesome. The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.
January 17, 200719 yr Wow wow, WOW! It's like freaking geekheaven! I was slightly worried that SoIaF might get movie treatment since it's so popular right now, but this is great news. I personally have never read Preacher, but if it is HBO, it's got to be good. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai. So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds
January 17, 200719 yr I made a mess in my pants People laugh when I say that I think a jellyfish is one of the most beautiful things in the world. What they don't understand is, I mean a jellyfish with long, blond hair.
January 17, 200719 yr I'm intrigued by the Preacher series, but as CHUD points out in another article, the pilot's being written by the guy who wrote the POS Daredevil movie, and being directed by the guy who directed the Whole Ten Yards. So it's possible they could fumble this, but it's just the first episode. Could get into better hands farther on. Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!
January 17, 200719 yr Preacher is becoming a television series?!?!? Holy crap! Almost literally. It is one of my favorite comic books. All they need now is to do a Transmetropolitan series.

January 17, 200719 yr it's geekasm... not geekgasm... If your going to steal my word at least spell it correctly And Song of Ice and fire sounds nice... too bad I don't get HBO. (they did make a comic about it though Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
January 17, 200719 yr You're talking about the Duncan the Tall comics? People laugh when I say that I think a jellyfish is one of the most beautiful things in the world. What they don't understand is, I mean a jellyfish with long, blond hair.

So it's possible they could fumble this, but it's just the first episode. Could get into better hands farther on. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Superherohype talked to MSJ after the announcement and he said that the whole ten yards guy was just one of a few directors they were looking at. Also, in the Daredevil commentary MSJ talks about how the studio screwed up his movie, and once you see the directors cut, you see he was speaking truth. The Directors cut is so much better its silly. Also, SHH recently talked to him and he says the script is pulled nearly directly from the comic. As for a Transmet series... I would love that. Its my 2nd favorite series after Lucifer. I see the SciFi network doing that if anyone does. The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.

January 17, 200719 yr Song of Ice and Fire is one of best series ever. Only LotR and Dark Tower surpasses it, both barely. Very high peak of fantasy genre.

January 17, 200719 yr As for a Transmet series... I would love that. Its my 2nd favorite series after Lucifer. I see the SciFi network doing that if anyone does. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> There is no way in hell Sci Fi would do a Transmetropolitan series. It's too controversial and has too much freaky stuff going on. Sci Fi channel, for all it's niche glory, still basically plays by the same rules as does the major networks, providing fairly safe content (Battlestar Galactica could be seen as somewhat controversial, but it's cleverly enough hidden not to be blatant). It'd require channels such as HBO or Showtime to show an interest, possibly FX. But I think it's too out there even for them (and in those cases the cyberpunk setting probably speaks against it). At least Preacher is somewhat grounded in the real world. It's a bit similar to Carnivale in a way, so HBO could be a good fit (although they canceled Carnivale, so who knows). I love Transmetroplitan and think it's a fantastic read. But the odds of it making the transition to American television are really bad. Maybe if the Global Frequency pilot had been picked up and then turned into a hit, Warren Ellis name alone could sell it. But since it didn't I just can't see it happening. Nor am I sure it should. Transmetropolitan is a perfect fit for the medium it was published in. I'm not sure it'd fare well in the transition.

January 17, 200719 yr The problem is this... The only actor I can think of who can play the Saint of Killers good happens to be dead. Jack Palace. He would have made a kickarse Saint of Killers. Clint Eastwood could pull it off but I don't see him doing a small screen gig ever.

January 17, 200719 yr Bill Nighy is teh awesomness. This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time.

January 17, 200719 yr I think whoever plays Jesse would have to be some unknown new guy. Really make the character distinctive. I think Colin Farrell could do Cassidy. "It wasn't lies.

January 17, 200719 yr I guess Yao Ming could play the Mountain that Rides when hes in full armor Man, I can't wait to see the Cleganes Hopefully they can get the guy who played Richard the Lionheart in the Blackadder series to play Robert Baratheon People laugh when I say that I think a jellyfish is one of the most beautiful things in the world.

January 17, 200719 yr Is Cassidy an effeminate tosser, then? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Depends on the definition on effeminate. If you're going with "characterized by excessive softness, delicacy, self-indulgence, etc", then yeah, pretty much. A tosser for sure.
