OT: HBO Starts Casting Song Of Ice And Fire

[S.R. Krol]

So Sean Bean is playing Ned Stark. Gotta wonder how exactly the series is going to work considering we're years away from the story's conclusion. Either they expect it to be some sort of Dr.Who event in which the TV series just keeps going on and on, or they're going to simply base it around the books (such as, "inspired by the works of...") and do their own thing with it.
