I'll admit to curiosity, at least partly of the morbid variety. And both Sam and Jeremy sound very promising to me, especially based on what little we get to see of them in the trailers.
As for JRM, I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, but he does have a very particular style that I don't think really lends itself to historical films. Did you like him as Steerpike, out of curiosity? I rather did, but I didn't get the chance to read the books until after I'd seen the series. There was something about the way he was never still, in contrast to how visually static the other characters were, that appealed to me.
