Jamie Campbell-Bower To Join Game of Thrones

Compiling the Rumored Lore of HBO's Game of Thrones

All our info new the HBO series based on the book series A Song of Ice and Fire slated for Spring 2010.

It's official, HBO has given the go ahead for the upcoming series Game of Thrones based on the book series "A Song of Ice and Fire" by George R.R. Martin. Talk of the pilot being picked up has been floating around the rumor mill for about a year now but things didn't become official until March 2^nd. For more info on this new development, feast your eyes on the bullets down below.

• "I have absolutely no idea whether "March" will translate to "early March" or "the end of March." The decision could be announced today, for all I know. Or maybe they will make us all wait until March 31. The Ides... well, maybe not. I don't know if I can wait another fifteen days, and anyway that date has ominous connotations. "Beware the Ides of March," and all that. So please let us know before that, HBO." Martin said on his "not blog" Monday morning. By Tuesday afternoon he was at a presumed loss for words, and simply posted a classic Peanuts video.
• HBO has requested a total of ten episodes, including the existing pilot. Filming is said to resume this June, locations include Northern Ireland and Morocco.
• Although the number of actual seasons is dependant on ratings, it's said each season will cover the storyline of at least one book.
• The cast includes Mark Addy ( A Knight's Tale, Still Standing, The Full Monty), Sean Bean (Troy, Percy Jackson & The Olympians) Peter Dinklage (The Station Agent, Elf), Jamie Campbell Bower (Sweeney Todd, Rocknrolla), Jennifer Ehle (Wilde, Pride and Prejudice), Lena Headey (300) and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Black Hawk Down,Kingdom of Heaven) among others.
• The pilot episode was directed by Thomas Mc Carthy (The Station Agent) and is credited as  having been written by David Benioff and D.B. Weiss.
