Dragons of Westeros could move from the small to the big screen, with a film based on the hit TV series ‘Game of Thrones’ in the early stages of development, US media reported on Thursday. No star has yet been identified for this project.
The original HBO television series and its eight seasons became a global cultural phenomenon, garnering massive audiences between 2011 and 2019, as well as a record 59 Emmy Awards.
Taken from George RR Martin’s ‘Game of Thrones’ fantasy novel saga, the series and its medieval struggles have already inspired a spin-off, ‘House of the Dragon’. Other adaptations for the small screen are also in preparation.
But Warner Bros has so far refused to adapt the franchise for the cinema, even if the novelist and the screenwriters of the series have already discussed potential feature films around the universe of Westeros.
‘Preliminary discussions’
The studio, however, seems to have changed its mind. According to the Hollywood Reporter, he is ‘quietly developing at least one film’ related to ‘Game of Thrones’. According to this specialized media, the recent management changes within Warner could have changed the situation.
Recent television adaptations of film franchises ‘The Batman’, ‘Dune’ and the upcoming ‘Harry Potter’ series demonstrate that the studio can have it both ways.
According to Deadline, there have only been ‘preliminary discussions’ surrounding a ‘Game of Thrones’ film. No star has yet been identified for this project.
Asked by AFP, Warner Bros responded that it had ‘no comment to make’.
