After the Game of Thrones series finale, HBO will make a Game of Thrones movie.
Author George R.R. Martin has just revealed that a Game of Thrones movie is coming soon.
George R.R. Martin created the books on which the hit TV drama series is based, he also wrote a number of episodes for the show and currently acts as the co-executive producer. But, now the writer can add a whistleblower to his resume. Martin has now revealed that Game of Thrones will continue on the big screen once the show finishes, but he will not be involved in the project because he is too busy working on the remaining books.
He tells Ibnlive.com, “There will be a movie but I will not be involved. I have too much to do. That is something HBO and (executive producers) DB (D.B. Weiss) and David (Benioff) 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.”
Game of Thrones is set on the fictional worlds of Westeros and Essos as the show interweaves several plot lines with a broad cast. Game of Thrones has broken several record number of viewers on HBO and obtained an exceptional broad and highly actively international fan base. Game of Thrones has also been praised by critics despite frequent use of nudity, sexual assault, and violence. Game of Thrones has so far won 26 Emmy Awards including Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series in 2015—when it set a record for most wins for a series in a single year—and numerous other awards and nominations, including three Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation, a Peabody Award and two Golden Globe Award nominations. From among the ensemble cast,Peter Dinklage won two Emmys and a Golden Globe for his performance as Tyrion Lannister.
It is too soon to say what the Game of Thrones movie will be about. The Game of Thrones tends to follow the storylines set out in A Song of Ice and Fire set in the fictional Seven Kingdoms of Westeros. But, the movie will most likely follow the the violent struggles for power and control of the Iron Throne.
Reports suggest Game of Thrones will end after eight seasons.
