Hoffman is wrong for the role of the Spider. I am just not feeling it.
I dunno, he's kind of a chameleon. But what do think of the other choices?

If as sugguested you focused on just Jon Snow - his a a story spanning many books that would exceed any single movie.
The Three defacto main characters in the series are:
Jon Show
Daenerys Targaryen
Tyrion Lannister
You probably need to focus on all three
A movie would probably focus on only one character, like Jon or Daenerys or something. That's why it wouldn't really fit like a movie.
Just focusing on these 3 would not work at all. For example, during the first movie, when Tyrion gets captured by Catelyn, the audience wouldn't know WTF was going on. They'd be thinking "why the hell does this crazy Stark woman think Tyrion attempted to kill this Bran kid who I only saw briefly at the start of the movie". When Tyrion meets Tywin and has to fight in the battle against the Stark forces, the audience wouldn't know the cause of the war (Ned Stark finding out about Joffrey's parentage, leading to him saying Joffrey had no right to the throne, leading to his imprisonment and execution). It would just be a mess. A movie could not work.
