George R.R. Martin On A Potential ‘Game Of Thrones’ Movie: ‘Sure, I Love The Idea. Why Not?’

HBO may attempt to extend the series beyond seven seasons, even though ending it there has been — to date — the stated intention of showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss. At the very least HBO president Michael Lombardo says there will be “a conversation.” One that will feature many large gold-filled burlap sacks with dollar signs on them, presumably.

movie” idea, because “the format switch could be construed as snubbing their loyal subscribers.”

Anyway, as he is wont to do in these situations, Game of Thrones creator George R.R. Martin weighed in on his blog. From his post, we learned two more bits of Game of Thrones-related information. One, that he also has no idea when the television series will end, because there are entirely too many variables out there for anyone to know at this point. Fine, great, understandable. But the second and more important thing we learned is that George R.R. Martin still appears to be very much in the #TeamMovie camp:

Sure, I love the idea. Why not? What fantasist would not love the idea of going out with an epic hundred million feature film? And the recent success of the IMAX experience shows that the audience is there for such a movie. If we build it, they will come. But will we build it? I have no bloody idea.

He went on to say that his is just one of the voices in the decision-making process, and that “in the end, all that matters is that we tell a great story, with a great end,” but if the idea of giant dragons laying waste to entire communities on IMAX screens around the country tickles your fancy, you may have a powerful advocate in the room.

Pretty sure it was his idea to turn the final book into a trilogy of films? So this is news how?

You could turn the side story stuff into a full length movie. It’ll star different actors and have a different plot, but it’s still set in the same world and still connected to the over all story. The Sworn Sword and The Hedge Knight graphic novels would both make pretty good movies.

“You mean I could make another metric shit-ton of money without actually writing another book? Sign me up!”

This big fat fuck will do absolutely anything to avoid writing another book. At this point, I don’t even think the money is a motivation. With how the quality of the books has been dropping precipitously since A Storm of Swords, I wouldn’t be surprised if he has no intention of ever finishing writing the series out of fear of tripping over his own dick on the ending and ruining the acclaim that the series has received to date.

HBO is smart enough to make it work. They could do something like allow it to be released first in IMAX, then a month later just have it showing on HBO and give it a shorter run in theaters.

Simple do Roberts Rebellion as a three movie deal. Or even Eagon’s conquest.
