Jason Momoa Confirmed in HBO’s A Game of Thrones
October 17, 2009 by Jay Tomio

 

Earlier today I was manning my twitter station and saw Winter is Coming pointing to a report by a con goer attending Armageddon Expo who said that they heard actor Jason Momoa state that he would be taking on the role of Drogo in the HBO adaptation of George R.R. Martin’s A Game of Thrones. Being a fan of the series and knowing how much people like confirmation when it comes to projects that they love, I checked up on this and can now report that HBO has confirmed to me that this report (and Momoa’s statements) were both the truth (not that we had any reason to doubt!) and official.

The 'Games' afoot: HBO's 'Game of Thrones' gears up

 

UPDATE 2 Oct. 17: HBO has confirmed the casting of Momoa as Khal Drogo.

UPDATE 3 Oct. 17: I just want to give full credit for the breaking of the Momoa story to ABitLikeTrying on Twitter, who tweeted the news about his casting from a convention Oct. 16. She also noted that Momoa will have a nude scene and said that the actor has hired a trainer to see about bulking up for the role.

Momoa will have a nude scene and said that the actor has hired a trainer to see about bulking up for the role.

I just hope he doesn't bulk up too much for that nude scene
I figure he had a lovely form in SGA........I really hate bulk
>:-)

I am still very hopeful Joe and Jason will do something together as they had stated earlier...........

Hey, not familiar with this book/series, could you drop a line to when/what day it will be on?

Thank You

They haven't even begun production, so I'm figuring probably sometime in 2010.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Ditto. I think he looked pretty good as he was :)

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Heh, I'm sure a few fans will flock to see that ;)

[timespirt.livejournal.com]

OK,

Didn't know that. Drop me a line in 2010 then. LOL

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Heh, just keep an eye out on my LJ. I'm sure I'll post. Wow, wonder if anyone will, er, screencap his scenes *cough*

Hey, that's terrific news. I was looking forward to this series anyway - assuming the Pilot goes to series. Now this is just more incentive. :)

[timespirt.livejournal.com]

I'm always watching your blog. Wouldn't mind some screencaps myself "cough"

[jedi40.livejournal.com]

I bet they will as well.

[jedi40.livejournal.com]

If I can find it I will cap them for you all
