It looks like Game of Thrones executive producers D.B. Weiss and David Benioff have heard the billion-something fans who are begging for prequel movie, with George R. R. Martin letting slip that a film is definitely coming.
Speaking to IBNLive.com, he said:
“There will be a movie but I will not be involved. I have too much to do. That is something HBO and D.B. and David are dealing with. I have two more books to finish and I still have so much to do. The pressure is on. I am such a slow writer and the fans get upset that I don’t write faster.”
Uhh – yes. GoT fans be waiting on the next book like:
While he doesn’t confirm, deny, or in fact allude to in any way that the movie will be a prequel, IBNLive.com has also spoken to an unnamed ‘production source’, who suggests a prequel is the likely choice.
“With the Game of Thrones universe, there is much rich material and no constraints on when that story will take place,” he / she said. “They are looking at dipping back in time during certain periods of the series, which could be examined as a one-off plot.”
“That means that some of the big characters who fans have seen die on screen could be resurrected, such as Robb Stark, Catelyn Stark, Oberyn Martell, and Ned Stark.”
Don’t you toy with our emotions, mysteriously well-informed production person.
Don’t you bloody well dare.
The Game of Thrones TV series is set to end after eight seasons; with the fifth season behind us, folks, the end is getting really fucking nigh. Savour these blessed days.
