American Gods could become an HBO series

This was a surprise.  I liked American Gods when it came out and on reflection its definitely better suited for an episodic format.  The company being pitched, Playtone, has a solid track record with HBO, Band of Brothers, John Adams, etc, so if it gets greenlit it should do well.  I think that the likelihood of it being made and receiving a good budget will depend on the success of a A Game of Thrones this month.  Everything I've heard so far about A Game of Thrones has been very positive so I'm hoping it does well and can't wait to see it.
