HBO Releases 15-Minute Preview Of ‘Game Of Thrones’

Because it’s been far too long since we’ve seen The Lord of the Rings’ Sean Bean do a bunch of cool stuff with long hair and a sword, HBO has released the first 15 minutes of Game of Thrones, the Sean Bean-starring adaptation of George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire fantasy novel series, online. And yes, there are swords, beards, long hair, horses, and cloaks. This stuff is all still cool, right?

/Film has a breakdown of the series:

“Long ago, in a time forgotten, a preternatural event threw the seasons out of balance. In a land where summers can last decades and winters a lifetime, trouble is brewing. The cold is returning, and in the frozen wastes to the north of Winterfell, sinister and supernatural forces are massing beyond the kingdom’s protective Wall. At the center of the conflict lie the Starks of Winterfell, a family as harsh and unyielding as the land they were born to. Sweeping from a land of brutal cold to a distant summertime kingdom of epicurean plenty, here is a tale of lords and ladies, soldiers and sorcerers, assassins and bastards, who come together in a time of grim omens. Here an enigmatic band of warriors bear swords of no human metal; a tribe of fierce wildlings carry men off into madness; a cruel young dragon prince barters his sister to win back his throne; and a determined woman undertakes the most treacherous of journeys. Amid plots and counterplots, tragedy and betrayal, victory and terror, the fate of the Starks, their allies, and their enemies hangs perilously in the balance, as each endeavors to win that deadliest of conflicts: the game of thrones.”

I have absolutely no idea what any of that means.

But! The preview does look cool, and HBO knows how to do dramatic television. Decide for yourself, and check out the first 15 minutes of Game of Thrones:

Casting Roundup: Christina Hendricks, Michelle Rodriguez, J.K. Simmons

We catch a lot of entertainment news here at ScreenCrave, but sometimes a few bits and pieces can fall between the cracks—which is why we’ve gathered together a few loose strands of recent casting news for you. From Christina Hendricks’ new role as Brendan Fraser’s spurned wife to the new Silent Hill: Revelation 3D (sigh) cast to the new roles for J.K. Simmons and Michelle Rodriguez, it’s been a busy week thus far:

According to Deadline, Mad Men bombshell Christina Hendricks will be taking advantage of her day job’s hiatus to star in Mike Figgis’ Seconds of Pleasure, which is set in an airplane “and connects the lives of people on the plane through vignettes.” Hendricks is set to portray a wife who catches her husband, played by Brendan Fraser, in a “compromising position.” The film will also star Julia Stiles, Matt Damon and Kristin Scott Thomas.

Because if a news post doesn’t mention a vampire film, we have to at least drop info on a 3D (it’s officially been signed into Hollywood law at this point), we’d be remiss not to mention that Silent Hill: Revelation 3D has been cast. /Film has it that Sean Bean, Radha Mitchell and Deborah Kara Unger have joined Adelaide Clemens and Kit Harington to round out the film’s cast of actors who don’t mind being overshadowed by gimmicky used to increased ticket prices. So that’s cool.

In other horror film news, /Film reports that Michelle Rodriguez’s next flick is “a horror picture called The Home that takes place in a haunted nursing home. She says it will likely shoot in the summer as things are being set up now.” Kristoffer Aaron Morgan set to direct the “Lovecraftian” film in Austin, TX, which will also star Brian Cox, Cloris Leachman, Louise Fletcher, Louis Gossett Jr., Ed Asner, and Fionnula Flanagan.

Meanwhile, J.K Simmons will has joined the cast of Mark Wahlberg’s Contraband, according to /Film. The film “follows a one-time smuggler (Wahlberg) who has taken a straight job as a security guard, but gets pulled back into illegal activity.” Simmons has been cast as a captain in the movie.

Percy Jackson is set for release on February 12, 2010. I’m a sucker for anything that uses Greek mythology as a backdrop so I might actually give this film a shot.
