George R.R. Martin - Tulen ja jään laulu: Kirjauutisia

Acclaimed artist Sam Hogg gives us her vision of George R. R. Martin’s epic series, the inspiration for HBO’s Game of Thrones, in a calendar featuring twelve never-before-seen views of Westeros and beyond.

Returning to the roots of the series–the iconic characters and scenes–Sam Hogg brings to life her vision of not only our favorite moments and people, but also a few all-new faces and settings. And, as an added bonus, this calendar now contains images not only from the Song of Ice and Fire series, but also from the recently published Targaryen history, Fire & Blood, as well!

KiLLPaTRiCKIso kiitos taas kerran Jussille.
Lähti tilaukseen Adlibriksestä. Ehdin jo monena päivänä käydä tarkistamassa joko olisi tullut tilattavaksi.
Olivat 16.10. Adliblikseltä lähettäneet minulle 10€ lahjakortin. Mitään hajua, miksi sellaisen olen ansainnut, ei viestissä ollut. Lahjakortti oli syy miksen käynyt heti kirjamessuilla hakemassa Seitsemän kuningaskunnan ritareita. Nyt hinnaksi tuli 20,90€

HBO GIVES SERIES ORDER TO HOUSE OF THE DRAGON, CO-CREATED BY RYAN CONDAL AND GEORGE R.R. MARTIN; RYAN CONDAL AND MIGUEL SAPOCHNIK TO PARTNER AS SHOWRUNNERS

Miguel Sapochnik Will Direct Pilot And Additional Episodes; Ryan Condal, George R. R. Martin, Miguel Sapochnik And Vince Gerardis Executive Produce

LOS ANGELES, October 29, 2019 – HBO has given a 10-episode, straight-to-series order to HOUSE OF THE DRAGON, a “Game of Thrones” prequel co-created by George R.R. Martin and Ryan Condal. Miguel Sapochnik and Ryan Condal will partner as showrunners and will also serve as executive producers along with George R.R. Martin and Vince Gerardis, it was just announced at WarnerMedia Day by Casey Bloys, president, HBO Programming.

Based on George R.R. Martin’s Fire & Blood, the series, which is set 300 years before the events of “Game of Thrones,” tells the story of House Targaryen. Miguel Sapochnik will direct the pilot and additional episodes. Condal and Sapochnik will partner as showrunners on the series, which will be written by Condal.

“The ‘Game of Thrones’ universe is so rich with stories,” says Casey Bloys, president, HBO programming. “We look forward to exploring the origins of House Targaryen and the earlier days of Westeros along with Miguel, Ryan and George.”

HOUSE OF THE DRAGON marks Sapochnik’s first project as part of an HBO overall deal where he will develop and produce content for both HBO and HBO Max.

NylkkyOnko jokun saanut Suomalaisen kautta tuon Seitsemän Kuningaskunnan Ritarin?
Ennakkotilasin kirjan ja yhä odottelen postia.

I expect to be involved in all of this to some extent… and, who knows, if things work out, I may even be able to script a few episodes, as I did for the first four seasons of GAME OF THRONES.

But… let me make this perfectly clear… I am not taking on any scripts until I have finished and delivered WINDS OF WINTER. Winter is still coming, and WINDS remains my priority, as much as I’d love to write an episodes of HOUSE.

He is also a huge fan of my Dunk & Egg stories. In fact, that was the show he wanted to do initially, but I’m not prepared to bring Dunk & Egg to television until I’ve written quite a few more stories

Greta Johnsen: How much time do you spend in Westeros these days?

George R.R. Martin: That’s an interesting question, and it really varies and it depends on what I’m doing. But when I’m actively writing, when it’s really going well — and it doesn’t always go well by any means, there are good days and bad days, there are good months and bad months — but when it’s going well, I live in Westeros. I fall through the computer. I wake up thinking of, you know, Tyrion and Arya or Aegon the Conqueror, whoever I’m writing about, and I go to sleep at night thinking about them. When I’m driving around, I think about them. And it just fills my life.

But in order to achieve this almost Zen state of obsession, I have to push away real life. There are other writers who write four pages a day, they write in hotels, they write on airplanes, they write everywhere. I’ve never been one of those writers. I need to have the whole day just to write, nothing else on my calendar. And it’s an odd irony that the very success of Game of Thrones and A Song of Ice and Fire — the popularity of these books has made it harder for me to write these books because the number of interruptions and distractions and other things have increased, doubled and tripled and increased tenfold and a hundredfold.

I’m not writing today. I’m here in Chicago. When I’m back home in Santa Fe, I will be pushing everything and writing, yes.

The thrilling history of the Targaryens comes to life in this masterly work, the inspiration for HBO’s upcoming Game of Thrones prequel series House of the Dragon

JussiA Knight of the Seven Kingdoms ei ole vieläkään ilmestynyt Yhdysvalloissa pokkarina, vaikka se julkaistiin kovakantisena jo lokakuussa 2015.

NEW HBO GAME OF THRONES SERIES ANNOUNCED: HOUSE OF THE DRAGON, a prequel series based on Fire & Blood. And now that prequels are on everyone’s mind, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms offers the perfect chance to read the first three official prequels Martin ever wrote.

IN PAPERBACK FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE U.S.

TARGARYENS ARE ALL THE RAGE: With the #1 New York Times bestselling Fire & Blood, Martin gave readers a deep dive into Targaryen history. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms takes place when the Targaryens were still in power and the future Targaryen king was just a young, anonymous squire.

CONNECTIONS TO FAVORITE CHARACTERS: Egg, one of the protagonists, is actually Aegon Targaryen, who will someday become King Aegon V, the Unlikely…and Daenerys’ great-grandfather. And as Martin once told fans, Ser Duncan the Tall is the ancestor, fittingly, of the towering Brienne of Tarth. Readers will also gain youthful glimpses of some of the older players in A Game of Thrones, such as Ser Barristan Selmy and Maester Aemon.

FABULOUS ILLUSTRATED PACKAGE: The book is exclusively illustrated by acclaimed artist Gary Gianni, featuring 160 black-and-white line drawings throughout.

MASSIVE BESTSELLER: The hardcover of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms spent multiple weeks on the New York Times bestseller list.

The continuing series available now wherever books and ebooks are sold.

JussiBantam-kustantamo on lopultakin päättänyt julkaista A Knight of the Seven Kingdomsin pehmeäkantisena, muttei pokkarina. Kokoelma ilmestyy helmikuussa ns. trade paperbackinä eli isokokoisena nidottuna laitoksena. Gary Giannin kuvitus on mukana. Vielä ei ole tiedossa, käytetäänkö kirjassa tuttua kansikuvaa, vai onko siihen laadittu uusi.

MASSIVE #1 BESTSELLER: The hardcover of Fire & Blood spent 21 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list: 18 of those in the top 10, and 7 of those in the top 5.

85 BLACK-AND-WHITE ILLUSTRATIONS BY ARTIST DOUG WHEATLEY — 5 of which are images unique to this edition!

JussiGRRM on viimeksi kirjoittanut blogiinsa 23. marraskuuta. Voi kuvitella, että tauko johtuu Windsin viimeistelystä, ja seuraava mekintä on sitten ilmoitus kirjan valmistumisesta.

JussiSain Kirjavalta vahvistuksen, että teoksesta on tulossa 11. painos.

JussiSekin on kiinnostavaa, että vaikka amerikkalaiskustantamo Bantam paljasti Fire & Bloodin ilmestyvän pehmeäkantisena 5. toukokuuta, ei brittikustantaja HarperVoyagerin sivustolta tai nettikaupoista löydy vieläkään tietoa kirjan nidotusta laitoksesta. Sen julkaisusta kerrotaan samalla hetkellä kuin Windsin valmistumisesta?

JussiEsimerkiksi Hugo-finalisteihin kirjalla ei ollut asiaa.
