The book has a decidedly adult bent, with sex and violence comparable to series like "Rome" and "Deadwood." But Martin has eschewed Tolkien's good-vs.-evil theme in favor of flawed characters from seven noble families. Tolkien, because both are period epics set in imagined lands. Martin's series has drawn comparisons to J.R.R. The author will co-exec produce the series along with Management 360's Guymon Casady and Created By's Vince Gerardis. Martin has nearly finished the fifth installment, but won't complete the seven-book cycle until 2011. The series will begin with the 1996 first book, "A Game of Thrones," and the intention is for each novel (they average 1,000 pages each) to fuel a season's worth of episodes. Benioff and Weiss will write every episode of each season together save one, which the author (a former TV writer) will script. "Fire" is the first TV project for Benioff ("Troy") and Weiss ("Halo") and will shoot in Europe or New Zealand.
Martin's bestselling fantasy series "A Song of Fire & Ice" into a dramatic series to be written and exec produced by David Benioff and D.B. HBO has acquired the rights to turn George R.R.
