The Bean and Game of Thrones

I should be working on Pros Big Bang type stuff (and you Pros fans out there, you are going to sign up at [livejournal.com profile] ci5_boxoftricks, yeah?) but I've been briefly distracted by Sean Bean and the upcoming Game of Thrones min-series.

I've been waiting for Games of Thrones to air since they announced they were filming the pilot. And now it's nearly here. For fun (and so I can keep track of them) here's the latest trailer for the mini-series. It looks delicious.



And here's a very sweet interview with the Bean about his role in Game of Thrones. He's looking better than he has done in the last couple of years, and he should make an utterly perfect Ned Stark.

Paul Bettany Interview

Last weekend, the Globe and Mail had an incredibly smart, funny profile of Paul Bettany.

I knew it was going to be good when the writer of the piece started by complaining that in spite of Legion's poster, Bettany hadn't bared his chest nearly enough in the actual movie. (He doesn't.) Then came this line from the man himself:

For Legion, I cannot be celestial. So I looked in the museum, and I saw that all the angels were ripped and carried swords and spears. So I went to the gym, but I also knew that at some point they would put 8-foot wings on me, and people would go, 'Look, it’s a fucking angel.'

I don't think I could possibly love him more. *g*

For the visually-minded, here's the picture that accompanied the profile:



Seriously, is he not gorgeous?
