As the world turns, we bring you all things Game of Thrones, big and small.
First up, a judge in LA has ordered Lena Headey (Cersei Lannister) to return to the United States with her six-year-old son, Wylie. According to The Sun, the judge found that Headey violated the terms of a custody agreement with her ex-husband, musician Peter Lougrhan, when she enrolled Wylie in an English school without Lougrhan’s permission. We hope the matter gets resolved peaceably.
In lighter news, George R.R. Martin has a new book out: High Stakes, the latest entry in the Wild Cards anthology series, which rounds up a number of interrelated tales by various authors. Edited by Martin and Malinda Snodgrass, Wild Cards is set in a universe where all manner of superheroes, villains, and what-have-you walk the earth. Each volume has a general theme. In High Stakes, it’s all about horror. See Martin and Snodgrass talk about it below.
Wild Cards was recently picked up by NBCUniversal for development as a television series. Although Martin will remain uninvolved with the TV series due to an exclusive contract with HBO, he’ll continue to edit the books.
High Stakes: A Wild Card Novel is available now.
Finally, Paul Kaye (Thoros of Myr) is starring in a new movie called The Comedian’s Guide to Survival, about a journalist who moonlights as an unsuccessful stand-up comic. Check out the trailer:
Kaye is playing said unsuccessful comedian’s editor. Express asked Kaye if he empathized with the lead character.
I don’t actually think of myself as a comedian, because I never did stand-up. I always imagine that is an acid test really – I stumbled into it in my 30s but I never had any ambitions to do it. I don’t have that need to make people laugh… it’s great fun when I get the chance though.
Well, Thoros isn’t a particularly funny guy (at not when we’ve known him), so his Game of Thrones role may be a good fit.
