George R.R. Martin has not only gained many fans with his fantasy novels. He also provided the basis for what is arguably the biggest TV series phenomenon of the past decade–and there’s still no end in sight. In addition to more spin-offs, a “Game of Thrones” movie is now in the works.
“Game of Thrones” Movie Will Be Big
This is now reported by the U.S. industry magazine “The Hollywood Reporter.” The project is officially in development, which means it is still in a very early stage. Beau Willimon is set to write the screenplay, bringing extensive experience from series such as the “Star Wars” project “Andor” for Disney+ and “House of Cards.”
According to further reports, Warner is unlikely to skimp on money and effort. The report suggests that the “Game of Thrones” movie will be a massive project, with a scale and scope comparable to the modern “Dune” films starring Timothée Chalamet.
What It’s About
There is no director or lead actors yet, nor even a rough release date. However, it is known that the story will focus on King Aegon I Targaryen and his conquest of Westeros. Interestingly, while the Warner film division is developing the “Game of Thrones” movie, HBO (also part of Warner) is apparently planning its own version of the story.
Warner itself is in a state of flux, as Paramount has outbid Netflix in a bidding war and now wants to take over Warner. However, there is no threat to “Game of Thrones,” especially since Paramount CEO David Ellison is considered a big fan.
Plans to bring “Game of Thrones” to the big screen first emerged in 2013. At that time, showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss wanted to end the series with three films, but HBO had other plans. Now it seems it will finally happen. Meanwhile, HBO continues to work on new spin-offs of the popular franchise.
