I found an interesting article about the upcoming Game of Thrones that I thought you would want to read as well.

George RR Martin’s novels start filming on Monday and the fans cannot wait

A Game of Thrones, HBO’s adaptation of the first book in a series of fantasy novels by George RR Martin, isn’t due to hit our screens until spring next year. But it doesn’t take long gazing into the enchanted fireplace of the internet to discover that anticipation for this show is all the way up to eleventy. There’s a series of blogs and forums devoted to a show that doesn’t even start filming until Monday.

For the uninitiated – that is, people who don’t gleefully buy 600-page books from the nerd section of Waterstone’s – A Game of Thrones is the first book in the A Song of Ice and Fire series. These books are very long, very popular and very, very good. Martin is often touted as America’s Tolkien. The mass of fannish enthusiasm for the books is such that Neil Gaiman, another genre favourite, felt the need to respond to the clamour for a new volume in the series with a blogpost called “George RR Martin is not your bitch”.

Some very exciting news about a new film with Lena! I think this sounds pretty interesting and I’m very happy that it’s somehow connected to Neil Marshall, one of my favorite directors. And actually someone I want Lena to work with! Dreadcentral also has a half review/article about the film.

The Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles actress will lead the cast in a new Brit shocker being planned for next year. Michael Ironside (Terminator Salvation) is also attached. Offers are out to Kate Mara (Iron-Man 2) and Michael Trucco (Battlestar Galactica).

Safe House, which is due to begin filming next March, follows a team of US Marshals charged with protecting a mob-trial witness and her teenage daughter, Alice. Mother and daughter are relocated to an isolated compound high in the Californian Rockies. The location appears secure — outfitted specifically for witness protection — yet its past is steeped in mystery and violence…

Lena has done a new voiceover job and you can see it at VisionExpress.com. There is an ad at the top of the page that you can choose to play and there you will hear Lena

Some happy news are also that Lena won a new award! She won the Constellation Award for “Best Female Performance in a 2009 Science Fiction Television Episode”. So congratulations Mrs. Headey!

Just to keep you updated on ‘Game of Thrones‘!

As the shooting date for HBO’s “Game of Thrones” gets closer, I’ve been able to confirm a couple of pieces of casting:

* Varys, the calculating spymaster for the king of Westeros, will be played by UK actor Conleth Hill.
* The role of Waymar Royce has been recast due to a scheduling issue. Jamie Campbell-Bower had played the role in the pilot but when the producers decided to do reshoots of his scenes, Campbell-Bower was unavailable. The role of Royce will now be played by Rob Ostlere.

The main cast for “GoT” includes Lena Headey, Sean Bean, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Michelle Fairley, Peter Dinklage, Jason Momoa, Emilia Clarke and Mark Addy (Bean as Lord Eddard Stark).

As fans no doubt know, other casting has been leaking out here and there, including the recent news that Aidan Gillen, a veteran of “The Wire,” will play Littlefinger. Martin has been confirming the names of actors playing various roles on his Not a Blog, and the “GoT” sites Westeros, Winter is Coming and Tower of the Hand have all the intel and some fan speculation as well.

More cast for the show, it has a pretty amazing set of actors and actresses now!

The Wire star Aidan Gillen has reportedly landed a role on HBO’s upcoming Game of Thrones.

Gillen will play a scheming character called Littlefinger in the fantasy adventure series, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Littlefinger is described as the manipulative advisor to King Robert.

The series is based on the A Song of Ice and Fire novels by George RR Martin.

Lena Headey, Peter Dinklage, Sean Bean, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and Jason Momoa will also star in the show, which premieres next year on HBO.

The IMAY Fansite will soon post the Q&A which they did with Lena. You can read some extracts and such on their Twitter. Very exciting!

I’m currently away in Norway to visit all my relatives here and also to work some – so the updates will be a little slow unfortunly. Some bad news is that my computer broke down some days ago so I don’t know when I will have the money to buy a new one. I don’t think I lost too much stuff but if you are a big fan of Lena and want to contribute with the computer cost, that would be very appreciated.
Anyways you shouldn’t sit in front of your computers during the summer time, right?

I will try to keep you posted if something big comes up! Feel free to mail me with any news you might have. I will be back in late August/early September, so untill then -
Have a wonderful summer!

Added some new HQs from the Empire Film Awards in 2003 and some new stills from two of Lena’s earlier films.
