Good news for Game of Thrones

Things look really good for Game of Thrones as HBO programming chief Michael Lombardo said in a short interview with The Hollywood Reporter during the TCA Press Tour: 

Everything looks fantastic. [...] The director got great performances. Unlike a lot of projects like this, everything was shot on location. It has such a rich texture that it looks more expensive than it actually was. [...] The fantasy is so incidental, it has a very adult tone. You forget it's fantasy while you're watching it, and that's what I love about it. [...] I would be surprised if it doesn't [get greenlit]. It has everything going for it.

Lombardo also said that HBO executives will be able to view a rough cut of the pilot in just two weeks!! From The Hollywood Reporter we also learn that the network spent between 5$ and 10$ million to produce the pilot alone, that also involved some use of CGI. Everything looks very good for this new show which, as Lombardo said, if everything goes well could possibly air around March/April of the next year, so plenty of time to get used to the idea of a blonde and evil Lena :P

And even before that we might get to see some promos and have a preview of Lena's new role on this show!!
