It's officially been announced that novels written by George R.R. Martin that make up the "Song of Ice and Fire" series, including the first novel "A Game of Thrones for which it is named, will be getting a series on HBO. Filming begins in June and I can not wait.
My favorite comment from people on the staff is that it will be like Sopranos with swords.

Those links were provided by george himself on his blog.
Anyone else as excited as I am or even fans of this great sci-fi fantasy series?
George is one of the finest writers I've ever read, in any genre. I hope they do the series well.
