00:00We won't be leaving Westeros any time soon. A Game of Thrones movie is reportedly in the works.
00:06The Hollywood Reporter has learned that Warner Bros. has been quietly developing at least one
00:10film set in George R.R. Martin's epic fantasy universe. Multiple sources describe the project
00:16as very early-stage development with no filmmaker, cast or writer yet attached,
00:21but the company is keen on exploring the idea of Westeros invading cinemas.
00:26The move might represent a shift in the company's strategy regarding the property.
00:29The showrunners of the original Game of Thrones series, David Benioff and Dan Weiss,
00:34famously wanted to conclude the series with three feature films instead of its 2019 final season.
00:40Martin was also keen on the idea of a movie, and the author told The Hollywood Reporter
00:44back in 2014 that concepts were being kicked around. But for a long time, HBO strongly
00:50resisted the idea and instead wanted to preserve the prestige series as an HBO property.
00:55But since the show aired, there has been an increased willingness to shift cinematic
00:59properties to the small screen and back again. Multiple Thrones spinoffs have already been in
01:04full effect. In 2022, HBO launched the hit prequel series House of the Dragon,
01:09which recently aired its second season. The network also has the upcoming prequel series
01:14A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, planned for 2025. For more on this story, head to THR.com.
