HBO'S EPIC FANTASY SHOW OF THE YEAR "GAME OF THRONES" STARTS THIS APRIL WITH SEAN BEAN, LENA HEADEY, MARK ADDY ...

With the show's premiere this April 17th, HBO has released a brand new trailer for the extremely expensive and spectacular epic series GAME OF THRONES and some new posters and images. This television adaptation of the famous epic fantasy saga A SONG OF

ICE AND FIRE by George R. R. Martin, chronicling the violent dynastic struggles among noble families for control of the Iron Throne of the land of Westeros, will probably cover one book in one season starring Sean Bean, Jason Momoa, Mark Addy, Lena Headey and many other actors!

Summers span decades. Winters can last a lifetime. And the struggle for the Iron Throne has begun. It will stretch from the south where heat breeds plots, lusts and intrigues; to the vast and savage eastern lands; all the way to the frozen north, where an

800-foot wall of ice protects the kingdom from the dark forces that lie beyond. Kings and queens, knights and renegades, liars, lords and honest men…all will play the GAME OF THRONES.

Here's the official plot of the show: Seven noble families fight for control of the mythical land of Westeros. Political and sexual intrigue abound. The primary families are the Stark, Lannister, and Baratheon families. Robert Baratheon, King of Westeros, asks his old friend Eddard Stark to serve as his chief advisor. Eddard, suspecting that his predecessor had been murdered, accepts so that he can investigate further. It turns out more than one family is plotting to take the throne. The Queen's family, the Lannisters, may be hatching a plot to take control.

Across the sea, the last surviving members of the previously deposed ruling family, the Targaryens, are also plotting a return to power. The conflict between these families and others, including the Greyjoys, the Tullys, the Arryns, and the Tyrells, leads to war. Meanwhile, in the north, an ancient evil awakens. Amidst war and the political confusion, a brotherhood of misfits, The Night's Watch, is all that stands between the realms of men and the horrors beyond.

And PS don't forget to visit MELISSA'S IMAGINARIUM, the home of my darling Melissa Bradley, one of the knights of Dezmond's round table ;) She's already written tones of books, but her latest work BYZANTINE PROVOCATEUR has just been published this weekend.

JAVIER BARDEM COULD BE ROLAND DESCHAIN IN STEPHEN KING'S FANTASY SAGA "THE DARK TOWER". CHARMING TEASER FOR "KUNG FU PANDA: THE KABOOM OF DOOM". FINCHER'S "20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA" WILL BE 3D

Now here's another actor who is on the list for the role of futuristic hero Roland Deschain in Ron Howard's adaptation of Stephen King's fantasy saga THE DARK TOWER: although it was said that Viggo Mortensen is director's first choice it seems Javier Bardem is now the front-runner for the huge role.

If he gets it he will play in three films and two seasons of TV show which will run in between films. This futuristic epic Western will follow a Gunslinger Roland Deschain as he travels across a desolate and vaguely post-apocalyptic landscape in his quest for a black tower.

David Fincher, who is enjoying the success of his film THE SOCIAL NETWORK, has announced that his future project, the adaptation of the famous novel 20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA will be done in 3D.

However, the film won't come any time soon since he has many other projects on his list.


Although we haven't been overly amazed by the first part of the film, KUNG FU PANDA: THE KABOOM OF DOOM is about to premiere next May and here's the first teaser: Po is now living his dream as The Dragon Warrior, protecting the Valley of Peace alongside his friends and fellow kung fu masters, The Furious Five - Tigress, Crane, Mantis, Viper and Monkey. But Po's new life of awesomeness is threatened by the emergence of a formidable villain, who plans to use a secret, unstoppable weapon to conquer China and destroy kung fu. It is up to Po and The Furious Five to journey across China to face this threat and vanquish it. But how can Po stop a weapon that can stop kung fu? He must look to his past and uncover the secrets of his mysterious origins - only then will he be able to unlock the strength he needs to succeed.
