Sadly, the odds of us ever finding out for certain are slim to none, since there’s unlikely to be a crossover special anytime soon.

Forget about Tyler Perry and that $130 million he raked in last year.

If you’re a fan of George R.R. Martin‘s fantasy novel series A Song of Ice and Fire, this is your week. The fifth novel in the series, A Dance With Dragons, was officially announced yesterday, over five years after the publication of the last book. (That was A Feast For Crows, published in October 2005.)
And, more specific to our concerns, there is a new trailer for the HBO adaptation of the first novel in the series, Game of Thrones. This is, the company says, the first official full-length promo, and it has a lot of new footage. It’s probably the best spot yet released for the show, so check it out below. Read More »
