HBO - Making Game of Thrones
WiC: Can you elaborate a bit on the process of adapting the book to screen for your episode? You say you were given the basic beats of the story, from there was it just a matter of picking and choosing which parts of the book to keep and which to cut? How did you arrive at that decision?<a href=http://www.gameofthronesdvd.us/goods-285-Boardwalk+Empire+Season+2+DVD+Box+Set.html>Boardwalk Empire 2 dvd</a>
BG: D&D (with some help from yours truly) mapped out the first season in basic rough beats, then David and Dan wrote a more detailed outline. I used that outline to begin work on my script, and of course, went back to the book. I can’t speak to how the guys worked, but when I wrote this script, my first pass was very very close to the book… too close in fact: it would have been impossible to shoot! It was a great lesson. But I did restore a couple of scenes from the book that hadn’t made it into the outline (the small council scene was one), cut a few bits, <a href=http://www.gameofthronesdvd.us/goods-283-Boardwalk+Empire+Season+1+DVD+Box+Set.html>Boardwalk Empire dvd</a> shuffled stuff around, etc. There are a number of reasons things are cut or changed… sometimes it has to do with something as simple as scheduling, sometimes it’s a creative reason… it varies, but no decision is ever made lightly. Over the course of the year, we rewrote constantly, all the way through production. The Theon/Tyrion scene, for instance, was written and shot well after we’d completed work on most of the episode. D&D, as showrunners and head writers, took a number of passes at it too and are responsible for a number of scenes.<a href=http://www.gameofthronesdvd.us/goods-272-Transformers+Animated.html>Transformers Animated dvd</a>
