indiscrezioni (ma anche più di semplici indiscrezioni) riguardo all'attrice scelta come cersei
Royal HBO role filled by 'Terminator: Sarah Connor' actress
All the major roles for HBO's "Game of Thones" pilot have been filled in recent weeks -- except one.
I can exclusively reveal that Lena Headey, most recently seen as Sarah Connor in Fox's "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles," will play Cersei Lannister, a woman of royal blood who is every bit as smart, cunning and devious as the powerful men around her.
Other cast members include the perfectly cast Peter Dinklage as Cersei's brother Tyrion, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau as Cersei's twin, Jaime, Sean Bean as aristocrat Ned Stark, Jennifer Ehle as his wife Catelyn Stark and Mark Addy as King Robert. HBO confirmed the casting of Headey on Tuesday.
The "Game of Thrones" pilot, an adaptation of a fantasy novel by George R.R. Martin, starts shooting in late October in Northern Ireland.
Interest in the "Thrones" pilot is already at fever pitch: The blogs Winter Is Coming and Westeros have been following the casting avidly, and I can see why.
One "Thrones" fan asked me if this level of interest in a pilot that may not show up on TV for a year or more is normal. No, it's not. But Martin's book series tends to inspire a certain kind of deep and abiding loyalty, if not obsession. To read the books of Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" series (four have come out so far) is to be completely immersed in a world that recalls the golden age of knights and chivalry while also showing, through memorable and believable characters, how deeply flawed human nature can be. It's a world in which honor and fealty don't mean what they used to and those in power have to contend with an array of threats, sometimes from those closest to them, sometimes from unexpected places.
Don't let the fantasy label put you off. This is a book series about human beings and how they respond to difficult challenges. But OK, there are knights, tournaments, battles, bawdy humor, spectacles and freaky creatures from the icy north. There are also deeply moving relationships and wonderfully detailed locales, all of which kept me turning hundreds of pages all summer.
As Time's James Poniewozik has written, "Thrones" is the kind of complicated, richly appointed, adult drama that HBO tends to do well. Martin "constantly forces you to question whether the 'honorable' resolution to a conflict is the best in the long run. The saga is littered with fallen heroes and shattered myths, as well as apparent villains and rogues who make surprising turns," Poniewozik writes.
In short, if this "Thrones" adaptation is at least as good as HBO's "Rome," I'll be glued to it. Here's where I inject the note of caution: At this point, "Thrones" is just a pilot and it has not yet been picked up to series. Fingers crossed that its every bit as good as Martin's many fans hope it will be and we spend 2010 obsessing about HBO's cool new show.fonte -->

lena headey *_______________*
se davvero fosse così (come sembra) sarebbe una scelta straordinaria
i fans stavano impazzendo nel cercare di risolvere l'enigma
esempi -->
http://winter-is-coming.blogspot.com/2009/...-conundrum.htmlhttp://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php?showtopic=38494(anche io mi metto nella lista visto ho passato diverso tempo a fare ipotesi e a cercare su imdb)
i nomi che sono stati fatti (in base ad alcune interpretazioni degli indizi dell'indovinello) sono stati una marea
ne metto qualcuno di quelli più nominati e che (a seconda dei punti di vista e delle interpretazioni) possono spiegare almeno 2 degli indizi.. ma i nomi sono almeno 4 volte tanti
tricia helfer
carrie ann moss
naomi watts
elisabeth shue
sophie myles
heather graham
hillary swank
maggie siff
claire forlani
uma thurman
Kristin Lehman
(io avevo pensato a carrie ann moss - heather graham e elisabeth shue per vari motivi ciascuna)
ecco come i fan erano giunti (tra i tanti nomi) anche a quello di lena headey
enigma di martin:
She has no lines in common with Mr. Miyagi, but maybe she should. If we were playing "Six Degrees," there would only be one link between us. Her mother and Big Ben are strangers.in più martin ha aggiunto un altro indizio
Gorgo's mother meets Big Ben.e per giocare (ma non tanto) ha messo l'immagine del mostro gorgo (tipo godzilla) che sta distruggendo il big ben di londra
andando per ordine
primo indizio: mr miyagi..
mr miyagi, in karate kid, insegnava il karate a daniel facendogli mettere e togliere la cera
"wax on .. wax off"
lo stesso martin ha scritto in un post di commento:
Just "Wax off."in più martin ha anche scritto (riferita all'immagine del mostro gorgo dietro il big ben) "Gorgo's mother meets Big Ben"
questa è la spiegazione dell'indizio (data da uno dei fan di asoiaf)
CITAZIONE
As another clue, Headey was Queen Gorgo in 300.
In Herodotus' Histories (which some see as the first real history book) it can be seen that Gorgo's most significant role came during the aftermath of the Battle of Thermopylae (480 BC), when her husband Leonidas I was killed in battle along with 300 Spartans and many other Greeks. According to Herodotus's Histories, a message from Demaratus arrived at Sparta after the Battle of Thermopylae; it was a warning that Greece was going to be invaded by Xerxes. In order to pass enemy lines without suspicion, the message was written on a wooden tablet and then covered with wax. The Spartan generals did not know what to do with the seemingly blank, wax-covered wooden writing tablet. It was Queen Gorgo who advised them to clear the wax off the tablet. per quanto riguarda il link tra lui e lena headey
martin ha scritto alcuni episodi del telefilm "the beauty and the beast" .. e l'attrice protagonista che lo interpretava era linda hamilton
linda hamilton era l'attrice che ha interpretato sarah connor nei film terminator e terminator 2
lena headey ha interpretato sarah connor nella serie terminator: the sarah connor chronicles
quindi il collegamento tra martin e la headey è linda hamilton
resta da spiegare l'indizio "Her mother and Big Ben are strangers"
sto notando che anche su imdb hanno ripreso la notizia tra le news riguardanti Lena Headey
