The highly anticipated new series is based on the novel series A Song of Ice and Fire by acclaimed author George R. R. Martin. The story follows a group of families vying for control of the throne of the Seven Kingdoms. Four of the series’ planned seven titles have been published to date.
Momoa will play Khal Drogo, a wealthy and powerful warrior and horse lord.
The show will star Lena Headey (Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles), Sean Bean (The Lord of the Rings), Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (New Amsterdam), Peter Dinklage (Threshold), Jamie Campbell-Bower (The Twilight Saga: New Moon), and Jennifer Ehle (Pride and Prejudice).
Filming will reportedly take place in Morocco, Scotland and Ireland. The show will offer Jason his first nude scene and his first sex scene, according to one fan report from the convention.
Game of Thrones officially begins production on October 24. If it is picked up by HBO for a full series, expect a premiere in 2010 or 2011.

Perfect casting! Can't wait!
Momoa said at a recent convention that the Atlantis movie isn't happening. Good for him for getting such a great gig instead of waiting around while the producers navel-gaze with Universe.
Scan Bean and Jason Momoa this is now a must watch for me!!!
Sean Bean i mean :o
Khal Drogo... That'll be one hell of a sex-scene, then. I actually don't think that guy did anything more than have sex in the first book! :|
No more Atlantis movie? Booo, shame on them.
This would be awesome news if it wasn’t going to be on HBO. HBO has a bad habit of cancelling quality shows prematurely. This seems like an expensive cast and an expensive production. It may be a great show, but I don’t see HBO letting it run its course.
Well it does sound interesting. SGA movie not happening sounds retarded. Its not like the writers/producers won't get their investment back
"I actually don’t think that guy did anything more than have sex in the first book! "
Well, he...you know...died...
Way to spoil it, genius.
