April Fools Day has never been so hotly anticipated. Slated as the season two start of HBOs epic fantasy series , April 1 seems torturously far off.
Author George R.R. Martin began writing the first book of A Song of Ice and Fire, on which the television show is based, in 1991. The bestselling series now consists of five volumes with a further two planned.
As the first season ended in June last year, a new legion of fans sent the books to the top once again, won over by the medieval world of kings and monsters brought into homes every Sunday night, and have been waiting for the snowy saga to continue ever since.
Details of the intricate plot may have become hazy, so MovieCentral and HBO Canada announced that they will be hosting a free all-day Game of Thrones Season 1 marathon at Vancity Theatre on March 23, in anticipation of the upcoming Season 2 premiere.
The marathon begins at 8 am with the finale screening at 6 pm. Screenings are free and on a first come-first serve basis. You can also have your photo taken with the Iron Throne and costumed characters from the show. Are you with the Lannisters or the Starks? Get watercooler ready.
