A 'Game of Thrones' Movie Is Coming: Here's What We Know
· CosmopolitanWinter is coming. Again. Multiple outlets report that Warner Bros is developing a Game of Thrones movie, which honestly thank god because the show's final season simply did not deliver. So, what do we know about the movie? At this point, Jon Snow levels of nothing.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film will be based on George R.R. Martins' "fantasy universe" (that's pretty vague), and Warner Bros has been "quietly developing" it. The outlet also spoke to "multiple sources" who say the project is in its very early stages of development, and doesn't have a director, writer, or cast yet. As for whether the film would be a remake of the Song of Ice and Fire book series, or some sort of sequel... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. But! Deadline said Warner Bros was "extending the Game of Thrones franchise" so analyze those five words however you'd like.
Back in 2014 (literally ten years ago), George R.R. Martin told The Hollywood Reporter that he was down for a movie, saying “It all depends on how long the main series runs. Do we run for seven years? Do we run for eight? Do we run for 10? The books get bigger and bigger (in scope). It might need a feature to tie things up, something with a feature budget, like $100 million for two hours. Those dragons get real big, you know.”
If this film does get made, it'll simply be the latest Game of Thrones-adjacent project to be greenlit following the show ending—joining House of the Dragon and the upcoming prequel series A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.
