Game of Thrones (HBO pilot) casting news

[yagathai]

Peter Dinklage being cast as Tyrion is, of course, excellent news. The director... I'm going to withhold judgement until I see what he does with the material. It might be gorgeous, or it might be an Ang-Lee-doing-The-Hulk-type disaster.

I've always felt the Fire and Ice story wasn't as much about the grand, over-arching plots as the interactions and relationships of the characters who witness and take part in them. I'd much rather see someone get the characters and relationships right and do a 'meh' job with the rest than to get the big stuff right and make the characters into caricatures or stiffs.

I think that's true. But I don't think that they have to make a choice between those two.
