Winter is Coming: HBO Unveils New Teaser Trailer for Game of Thrones
HBO last evening unveiled a new teaser trailer for its upcoming fantasy series Game of Thrones, based on the novels of George R.R. Martin.
The series, which is expected to debut in 2011, stars Sean Bean, Lena Headey, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Peter Dinklage, Mark Addy, and Kit Harington, among many, many others. Production is slated to begin next month on the series, with reshoots expected on the original pilot after two roles were recast.
The Hollywood Reporter, meanwhile, is reporting that the series now may not debut until spring or early summer of 2011. However, as HBO has not commented on a launch date (other than just "2011"), I'd advise that fans sit tight until the pay cabler officially announces a firm start date for the David Benioff and D.B. Weiss-executive produced series.
[UPDATE: The Hollywood Reporter is now back-pedaling a bit, stating that "it's unclear if the new start date on the series will impact its premiere plans." In other words: I was right to advise caution.]
The teaser trailer for Game of Thrones, which aired prior to the Season Three premiere of True Blood, can be viewed in full below.
