Is there going to be sex and nudity in this? Can i watch it with my family?
If its like the books, and from everything I hear its almost identical, there will be alot of sex and graphic violence. Not something for children.

Wasn't Lena Headey also in 300?
yes, yes she was
This is my all time favorite hard fantasy series, and George RR Martin is my all time favorite fantasy author. That being said, Lena Headey is nowhere NEAR how I envisioned Cersei Lannister to be.
This is how I think she would look. (google image)
Lena Headey
Here's one of her actually in costume for this role:
God I hope they didn't rape this story. You'd think it wouldn't be possible, with as much time Martin appears to be involved.
We'll see.
Amazing what happens when the fantasy assumptions of a hormone-raging pre-teen are replaced by the cold, grim reality of casting real people in roles previously only known from the silly, horny minds of fantasy artists.
I wonder if they'll keep the incest angle intact?
Jaime is a lot more likeable character w/o that.
Hopefully at least they don't add the child porn parts.
i may have to get cable just for this

LA Times has posted a nice character cheat sheet which has photos of many of the characters and some background for each when you hover over the photo.
Robb stark, Jon Stark and Sansa Stark all look at least a decade too old.
Also, Petyr Baelish looks far too masculine.
I like the rest of the cast though.

They aged up the characters for the TV series. GRRM has said that, if he could go back, he'd make all the kids three to four years older. Check out GRRM's not a blog for most of the videos that have been posted thus far. There's a ton out there. http://grrm.livejournal.com/
Personal favorite, and this isn't on George's blog, is the portrait of Tyrion: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ois_9HGsfkU
Oh, and Tricia Helfer would have been perfect for Cersei.
The Wire, anyone?I think the ages of some of the characters have actually been increased for the purposes of the TV series (above what is listed in the cheat sheet, which matches the books), but I haven't found anything definitive on this.
I don't see any problem with Petyr's appearance. He looks pretty good in the trailers.
Started listening to the audiobook in anticipation. I've never read a fantasy book before but digging GRRM. I don't like audiobooks much but the narrator is awesome in this case.
