Just as in 2000, when New Line Cinema put high-quality fantasy in the cinema, viewed then as an expensive risk, the subscription channel is adapting a fantasy novel, George R.R. Martin&#8217;s &#8220;A Game of Thrones,&#8221; for television.  Bean, Boromir in Tolkien&#8217;s &#8220;Fellowship of the Ring,&#8221; is front and center here as the series&#8217; most recognizable face playing Eddard Stark, one of the powerful players in a land full of political intrigue. Sunday night HBO started the two-week countdown before the shows airs each Sunday for 10 weeks.  You can watch a 14-minute preview now but younger and <strong>sensitive viewers should be warned<\/strong>, there are graphic depictions of dead bodies, a beheading and the stuff of nightmares if you <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hbo.com\/video\/video.html\/?autoplay=true&#038;vid=1170886&#038;filter=game-of-thrones&#038;view=null\">follow this link<\/a>.
