00:00We won't be leaving Westeros anytime 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 film
00:10set in George R.R. Martin's epic fantasy universe. Multiple sources describe the project as very
00:17early-stage development, with no filmmaker, cast, or writer yet attached. But the company is keen
00:22on exploring the idea of Westeros invading cinemas. The move might represent a shift in
00:27the company's strategy regarding the property. The showrunners of the original Game of Thrones
00:32series, David Benioff and Dan Weiss, famously wanted to conclude the series with three feature films
00:37instead of its 2019 final season. Martin was also keen on the idea of a movie, and the author told
00:43The Hollywood Reporter back in 2014 that concepts were being kicked around. But for a long time,
00:49HBO strongly resisted 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, which recently aired
01:10its second season. The network also has the upcoming prequel series A Night of the Seven Kingdoms,
01:16planned for 2025. For more on this story, head to THR.com. And for the latest entertainment
