HBO OPTIONS ICE & FIRE
January 18, 2007
Now it can be told. VARIETY broke the story yesterday morning, and it's all over the web. I have received hundreds of emails since the announcement went public, many of them asking, "Is it true?" Other readers have posted comments and congratulations in reply to my confirmation on my Live Journal.
Yes, it's true. Winter is coming to HBO.
Thrones
Home Box Office has acquired an option on the television and film rights to my fantasy series, A Song of Ice and Fire, in hopes of bringing the story to television as an original, ongoing HBO series. We have been working out the details for months, but the deal is finally done and the pieces are in place, so it's official.
I won't rehash the details of the announcement in VARIETY. Go HERE and you can read the story for yourself.
The executive producers and showrunners on the project will be David Benioff and D. B. Weiss. Benioff and Weiss will also be writing the pilot script, and -- assuming that HBO eventually greenlights the series -- most of the episodes as well. This will be the first television project for them, but both have experience in novels as well as feature films. David Benioff is the author of the novel The 25th Hour and the collection When the Nines Roll Over: and Other Stories. His screenwriting credits include Troy, Stay, and The 25th Hour, and the forthcoming film versions of Wolverine and The Kite Runner. Dan Weiss has written the novel Lucky Wander Boy and the screen adaptations for the forthcoming films Halo, based on the videogame, and Pattern Recognition, from the William Gibson story. He and Benioff also worked together on the screenplay for Ender's Game, adapting the novel by Orson Scott Card.

I met David and Dan in California last fall, when I was out for LACon, and we discussed the show over a long lunch (the restaurant was packed when we arrived, and completely empty when we left, and the waiters had started setting up for dinner). They impressed the hell out of me, and I'm really looking forward to working with them. They're both bright, passionate, enthusiastic. They know the books inside and out, they get the books, and they're committed to bringing my story to your television screens... not a vaguely similar story with the same title (ala Earthsea, or what passed for same on the Sci-Fi Channel). A Song of Ice and Fire should be in very good hands.
As for my own involvement, I'll be scripting one episode per season. I'll also serve as co-executive producer on the show, along with Vince Gerardis and Ralph Vicinanza of Created By, and Guymon Casady of Management 360. I have already had a number of emails asking why I am not writing more of the scripts myself. Three big reasons: A Dance With Dragons, The Winds of Winter, A Dream of Spring. As much as I'd like to be a part of the show on a daily basis, as I once was on The Twilight Zone and Beauty and the Beast, the novels take priority. David Benioff and Dan Weiss are very talented writers, but even they can't adapt a book that hasn't been written.
Swords
I am thrilled to be in business with HBO as well. For years now, the very best drama on television has been found on Sunday nights, in HBO's original series. TV does not get much better than The Sopranos, Six Feet Under, Big Love, Carnivale, The Wire, Deadwood... and my current favorite addiction, Rome. (If you're not watching the second season right now, you're missing the best show on television). Writing, directing, acting, set design, production values... everything on an HBO show is quality, and that's what I have dreamed of for A Song of Ice and Fire.
It was only a month or two after A Game of Thrones was first published in 1996 that I received the first query about film and television rights. Nothing ever came of it. Over the years, as the series grew more popular with every subsequent book, I received a steady stream of such queries from producers, directors, screenwriters, studios, and others in the industry. Nothing ever came of them either. Meanwhile, my readers kept asking if A Song of Ice and Fire would ever be filmed. My answer was always the same. While I was always willing to listen to offers, I did not see how the books could be made into a feature film, or even a trilogy of such films, like Lord of the Rings. The novels were simply too big and too complex, and to make the sort of deep cuts that would be necessary to get them down to feature length would have required losing nine-tenths of the characters and three-quarters of the plot. The only way to dramatize a story that size, I felt, was as a television miniseries (like Roots or Shogun) or, better still, a series of series, with each novel providing a full season's worth of episodes.
Crows
That is precisely what HBO intends to do, starting with A Game of Thrones. With twelve hours to devote to each of the novels, rather than the two to three that a feature film would allow, we should be able to present a faithful dramatization of the story that will please both my own readers, and HBO subscribers who have never read a fantasy novel in their lives.
A television series does not spring up full blown overnight, of course. You won't be watching A Game of Thrones on HBO next week, or telling TIVO to record it next month. There's a long and winding road ahead of us, and many pitfalls along the way... but every journey begins with a first step, and who knows? Maybe next year time you'll be seeing Tyrion and Dany and Jon Snow in those HBO promo spots, mixing and mingling with Tony Soprano, Al Swearengen, and Titus Pullo.

HBO turns 'Fire' into fantasy series
Cabler acquires rights to Martin's 'Ice'
By MICHAEL FLEMING
HBO has acquired the rights to turn George R.R. Martin's bestselling fantasy series "A Song of Fire & Ice" into a dramatic series to be written and exec produced by David Benioff and D.B. Weiss.
"Fire" is the first TV project for Benioff ("Troy") and Weiss ("Halo") and will shoot in Europe or New Zealand. Benioff and Weiss will write every episode of each season together save one, which the author (a former TV writer) will script.
The series will begin with the 1996 first book, "A Game of Thrones," and the intention is for each novel (they average 1,000 pages each) to fuel a season's worth of episodes. Martin has nearly finished the fifth installment, but won't complete the seven-book cycle until 2011.
The author will co-exec produce the series along with Management 360's Guymon Casady and Created By's Vince Gerardis.
Martin's series has drawn comparisons to J.R.R. Tolkien, because both are period epics set in imagined lands. But Martin has eschewed Tolkien's good-vs.-evil theme in favor of flawed characters from seven noble families.
The book has a decidedly adult bent, with sex and violence comparable to series like "Rome" and "Deadwood."
"They tried for 50 years to make 'Lord of the Rings' as one movie before Peter Jackson found success making three," Martin said. "My books are bigger and more complicated, and would require 18 movies. Otherwise, you'd have to choose one or two characters."
Aside from writing the most recent draft of "Halo," Weiss recently adapted the William Gibson novel "Pattern Recognition" for WB and director Peter Weir.
Benioff and Weiss were repped by CAA and Management 360.

[/size][size=2][color=blue]HBO电视台获得将当代奇幻文学大师乔治R.R.马丁(George R.R. Martin)的畅销奇幻小说系列《冰与火之歌》(A Song of Fire and Ice)改编成电视系列剧的版权，戴维·本尼奥夫(David Benioff)和D.B.韦斯(D.B. Weiss)担任该剧的编剧和执行制片人。
《冰与火之歌》是《特洛伊》(Troy)的编剧本尼奥夫和《光晕》(Halo)的编剧韦斯的第一部电视作品，将在欧洲和新西兰拍摄。本尼奥夫和韦斯将在作者乔治R.R.马丁(前电视剧编剧)剧本的基础上编写每一季的每一集。
《冰与火之歌》系列的第一部《权力的游戏》1996年问世，由于书的页数平均厚达一千页，每部小说足够单独编成一季。乔治R.R.马丁即将结束第五部的创作，但是整个七部曲要在2011年才能完成。
作者乔治R.R.马丁将和管理360公司的冈蒙及该剧的创始人文斯·加利迪斯担任联合执行制作人。
马丁的《冰与火之歌》足以和J.R.R.托尔金的《指环王》相提并论，因为两部史诗巨作都将背景设在了奇妙的大陆。但是马丁远避了托尔金的正邪主题，他笔下来自七个富贵家族的角色都有瑕疵。
《冰与火之歌》系列图书有不少成人因素，其性和暴力成分堪比剧集《罗马》和《死木》。
“在彼得·杰克逊的三部曲成功之前，50年的时间里只拍了一部《指环王》。”马丁说，“我的书更宏伟更复杂，需要18部电影。否则你要一、两个角色就够了”。
在完成《光晕》剧本的草稿后，韦斯目前正在为华纳改编威廉·吉布森的小说《模式识别》，该片的导演是彼得·威尔，本尼奥夫和韦斯分别属于CAA和Management 360两家经纪公司。[/color][/size]

[size=2]具体故事情节说就是一个王国内部几家诸侯争夺王座，边境不知名的不死怪物和野人的入侵，海外前王朝遗孤携龙回归的
这么一个混乱局面
因为乱世所以杀人如草芥，有名字的没名字的，农奴骑士国王，好人坏人野人，主角配角动物，只要作者想杀就杀毫不留情
还有大量的大规模战争，骑马砍杀，骑士决斗，战后掠夺强奸的场面
现在大概出了好几百万字，剧情介绍什么的可以去[/size][url=http://www.cndkc.net/][size=2][color=#0000ff]http://www.cndkc.net[/color][/size][/url][size=2]看看，作者还在写。。。
喜欢rome的喜欢蛮人柯南的喜欢指环王的喜欢天国王朝的。。。。。绝对推荐！！！[/size]
[size=2][/size]
[size=2][color=blue]<指环王>和<纳尼亚传奇>是老一代的开山奇幻作品, <野蛮人科南>和<D&D>是这类作品中的琼瑶类作品
当代奇幻文学排得上名的有<时光之轮>系列,<地海传奇>系列,<冰火之歌>系列
尤其是这套<冰火之歌>系列,虽然还没出完但基本上已被公认为史上最棒的奇幻小说了
HBO要把她拍成长剧野心不小,我就看过第一部a game of thrones,已经觉得那种规模很难拍了
还好是HBO拍,否则真是捏把汗,之前看Scifi拍得电视电影版的<地海传奇>真是大失所望,宫崎骏的那个倒是还不错
说起来最完美的就是<指环王>的未剪切版了,希望HBO能把<冰火之歌>拍成电视史上的<指环王>[/color][/size]
[size=2][color=blue]<时光之轮>和<地海传奇>虽然没有<冰火之歌>这么多战争场面,但其实倒是比<冰火之歌>更难拍好
<时光之轮>庞大的结构和纷繁的各类体系设定,<地海传奇>的哲学深意和诗歌意境,都很难用镜头表现
相比<冰火之歌>就是场面难拍,情节上比<时光之轮>和<地海传奇>曲折惊险,不停的意外死人,很适合搞成影视作品
所以<冰火之歌>就是战争场面拍得差点其实也不影响故事的精彩
当初要开拍<指环王>大家都怀疑是否能拍好,结果第一部就把人都震住了
看完第二部就在想双塔的小战役就拍得这么宏大,第三部的大战怎么拍啊,结果第三部照样很精彩[/color][/size] 我对最这句前面的感兴趣Aside from writing the most recent draft of "Halo," Weiss recently adapted the William Gibson novel "Pattern Recognition" for WB and director Peter Weir
HALO要被搬上银幕了？=v= ?????????????????????? 冰与火有看过书:nox10: :nox10: 电视剧啊...不知道效果好不好... 电视剧要展示大场面,比如大规模的战斗不知道能不能成功 HBO的雄厚财力还是值得期待的！ 不错的名字.
:nox13: :nox05: 非常棒的小说~~```值得一看~
期待电视剧阿~
不过小说还在连载- -~ 我看过中文小说^ 十分的好!!! 希望能早日见到电影，有空也要去找找这本书了～～ 说的什么内容，可以介绍一下 还是连续剧比较吸引人，电影时间太短，情节不一定表现的清楚 :noxanime02: 冰火啊,期待 期待期待，希望找个好导演好编剧，再找群好演员
