But it is at a very early stage of development.
Warner Bros. is quietly making a movie based on the epic fantasy universe «Game of Thrones» by George R.R. Martin. As it became known The Hollywood Reporter According to our own sources, the project is at an early stage and currently has no director, cast, or scriptwriter.
The intensification of work on the film indicates possible changes in the company’s strategy for the franchise. The creators of the original series, David Benioff and Dan Weiss, planned to complete the show with three feature films instead of the final season in 2019. George Martin also supported the idea of a movie adaptation.
However, HBO opposed it at the time, seeking to maintain the prestigious status of «Game of Thrones». But in recent years, the company’s management has changed, as have the trends in the interaction between film and television. In particular, studios are increasingly releasing films and TV series based on the same universe.
In 2022, HBO released a successful prequel series «Dragon’s Den» (recently its second season ended), and plans to launch another prequel — «Knight of the Seven Kingdoms» in 2025. In addition, ideas for stories that will unfold after the events of the original show are being considered.
