“Game of Thrones” Premiering Spring 2011
Posted by Sarika on August 07, 2010 • Game of Thrones
According to The Hollywood Reporter, HBO recently confirmed that Game of Thrones will premiere possibly as early as March 2011. This is exciting news!
One executive said that he thought it will premiere March 3rd, though another corrected him and just said “spring.”
“It’s a genre we’ve approached somewhat cautiously,” said Michael Lombardo, HBO’s programming president. “We have two writers … who are so smart and so talented. Neither of us are particularly fans of the genre. It was such enormously compelling reading. It wasn’t the genre we responded to it was the storytelling.”
“It’s really about power,” added Richard Plepler, co-president. “And that’s a theme which has resonated throughout history. You’ll forget where you are very quickly and will find yourself immersed in the storytelling.”

Stars of Tomorrow Article

Winter Is Coming posted the longer article from the UK Stars of Tomorrow feature with Emilia and her Game of Thrones co-star, Harry Lloyd.
Expect to see rather a lot of Emilia Clarke in the near future. One year out of Drama Centre London and, after filming the SyFy channel film Fossils last autumn, she was cast as Daenerys in Game Of Thrones, the HBO adaptation of George RR Martin’s fantasy series A Song Of Ice And Fire which shoots from July. She plays the female lead who grows from being a submissive, vulnerable teenage orphan to a powerful independent woman – and it is a role that will propel her into the international spotlight.
But she will not just have to ensure that nerves do not get the better of her playing opposite the likes of Sean Bean and Iain Glen – “I’ll immerse myself so much into the character that I won’t have time to get starstruck,” she says – for the production has already got the internet messageboards heaving with excitement. “I don’t want to disappoint,” she says.

Emilia Comments on Playing Dany
Posted by Sarika on June 09, 2010 • Gallery, Game of Thrones
Hello, everyone. Cirdan of Der Herr der Ringe recently messaged Emilia to ask her about her winning the role of Dany. Winter Is Coming posted her reply:
I am so excited to have been chosen to play such an awesome role! I am a big fan of the books and Dany is also my favorite character! I will do my very best not to let the fans down!
Best wishes,
Emilia x
I’m glad she is a big fan of the books. Winter Is Coming also posted a lovely new picture of Emilia, which I’ve saved for the gallery. I’m not sure where it was from originally (by the way it was named, it might’ve been Facebook), so I put it in the Photoshoots section for now.

“Fossils” Information
Posted by Sarika on May 25, 2010 • Fossils
It appears Emilia is no stranger to the science fiction/fantasy genre. Her new movie, Fossils, will air on the SyFy channel soon. According to this website, it was filmed late last year. We have one still in the gallery, which you can view here.
Steven’s gotten the lead part in ‘Fossils’, a SyFy TV production shot in Bulgaria at the end of last year. He plays Jake Roundtree, a Sheriff in Oregon who has to save his community from marauding dinosaur fossils accidentally brought back to life by his Native American Uncle Dakota.
Director of this film is Colin Ferguson (whom you might know for playing Sheriff Carter on ‘Eureka’) and the cast also includes Gabriel Womack.
According to imdb the movie is still in production and no concrete air date has been set yet, but we hope to get some behind-the-scenes photos soon.
