A couple ofGame of Thronesprojects are lined up at the headquarters after the fame and success of the original HBO series and its prequel,House of the Dragon. Now, a fresh update reveals the franchise is reportedly gearing up for a movie still set in Westeros.

NewGame of ThronesMovie is Reportedly in the Horizon
This is not the first timeThe Hollywood Reporterlearned the concept of aGame of Thronesfilm. Back in 2014, authorGeorge R.R. Martinexpressed interest in producing a movie, but HBO was not too enticed since the television series was still ongoing.
The studio remained resolute in keeping their flagship show their exclusive property. At the time, Martin told theoutlet, “It all depends on how long the main series runs,” and he was considering the length and tenure of the series, which fans already knew ended in 2019 after its eight-season run. In the same conversation, he seemed to like the idea of a feature film.
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.
Fans would recallDavid BenioffandDan Weissoriginally wanting to make three feature movies as the conclusion to the fantasy saga instead of the critically panned final season. While the idea of a movie sounds fascinating, it may also affect Martin’s productivity when it comes to finishing his novels.
