Indeed. Which is another reason why HBO is a perfect fit for this, especially given that much of the intrigue revolves around sex and murder -- two things HBO doesn't shy away from.

I read recently that there are some personnel problems. The actress playing Catelyn left the project, as did some of the crew who worked on the pilot episode, and they're looking at recasting at least one of the other roles. I hope this is not a sign of some more significant problems with getting this filmed.
