True Blood Creator Alan Ball Gets a New Series, Game of Thrones Casts Four	Game of Thrones	Login to vote
OMG guys, three four more people have been cast for Season 2 of Game of Thrones, which—and I am not exaggerating one bit—is the best thing in the world ever. Irish actor Michael McElhatton will play Roose Bolton, Welsh actor Robert Pugh will play Craster, Ben Crompton will play Dolorous Edd, and Karl Davies will play a new character named Alton Lannister. The addition of Alton is likely being done in order to scrunch a few characters together so producers can contain the universe and keep casting down. In case you were wondering, Dolorous Edd is probably my favorite character in the books. He's such a frump-face. These are all, once again, fantastic choices for casting. It's as if HBO was reading my mind, if my mind knew who all these actors were in the first place. [Westeros.org 1, 2, 3 / THR] ... Alan Ball is signed up to run the show over at True Blood for at least one more year, but beyond that he's free to do whatever he wants. So it's no surprise that he's already keeping an eye out for new projects. Ball will serve as producer on a new series over at Cinemax (an HBO property). The project is called Banshee, but despite the title, there is no supernatural element; it'll be set in Amish country in Pennsylvania and follow an ex-con who poses as sheriff after the original was murdered. There's no timetable for the debut. [LA Times]
