HBO Premieres New Series Game of Thrones
HBO premieres new series Game Of Thrones Miami, May 2nd, 2011- HBO Latin America announced the May 8th premiere of the highly anticipated original series, Game of Thrones. The new mega-production, based on the novel by acclaimed author George R.R. Martin, traces the battle among several powerful families as they vie to the death for the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros. “Game of Thrones is a series that combines an excitingly colorful storyline with a world of reality and fantasy. The production boasts all the ingredients for becoming one of the best series of all times, as well as a new favorite for our Caribbean subscribers,” said Gustavo Grossman, Vice President and General Manager of HBO Latin America Networks. Game of Thrones unfolds in Westeros, where summers span decades and winters can last a lifetime. To the north, an ice wall over 240 meters high spans across the continent, separating civilization from an ominous forest and the darkness beyond. In such a world, kings and queens, knights and renegades, liars and noblemen are all part of a cat-and-mouse game governed by self interest, lust and greed. Consisting of ten 60-minute episodes, Game of Thrones begins when Ned Stark (Sean Bean), patriarch of one of Westeros’ noble houses, receives a visit from King Robert (Mark Addy) in which the King asks Ned to assume the position of head counselor and military commander, with the ultimate objective of protecting the Iron Throne; this proposal comes after the predecessor to the post is murdered under suspicious circumstances. Having accepted the proposition, Ned travels with his two daughters to the capital city of the Seven Kingdoms, King’s Landing, in order to investigate the murder and undertake his role as the King’s Hand.
