I’m excited about the news of a Game of Thrones film, but I’m worried they might be going back to the original plan for Season 8. A recent report announced that Warner Bros. is developing a film set in Game of Thrones universe, although there were no details to suggest what the plot might be. It’s important to note that development is so early that there is no director or writer attached, so it remains to be seen how much progress the project undergoes considering how many Game of Thrones spinoff plans have already been cancelled.
One thing that worries me Game of Thronesespecially after Dragon House Season 2 is Warner Bros.’ plans. to develop a cinematic universe-type story with George RR Martin’s fantasy world. THE Game of Thrones the ending was extremely divisive, but the prequel show continually tied into it with the idea of Aegon’s Dream prophecy. With that in mind and the canceled Jon Snow spin-off idea, I’m curious if the planned film is another attempt to rectify the original show’s ending.
Game Of Thrones Movie Could Bring Creators’ Original Season 8 Plan Full Circle
D&D originally wanted to end Game Of Thrones with a trilogy of films
Before Game of Thrones Season 8 launched with six highly cinematic episodes that brought the iconic series to a close, showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss had an original plan to conclude the saga with three feature films. While it is not uncommon for TV shows to have follow-up films, HBO denied the request and the narrative was completed on television. Now that there is a Game of Thrones movie in development, I’m wondering if this ties into the creators’ original plans and if they hope to bring the Jon Snow sequel idea to life on the big screen.
For now it’s pure speculation, but with Warner Bros.’s desire. of franchising the title, it would make sense that they would want something defined after Game of Thrones Season 8, essentially as a cushion. It’s impossible to fix Season 8, but adding something worthwhile to the end of the story could make future prequel shows feel more worthwhile. I can’t imagine what that would be like exactly, and I don’t want to see some form of “Somehow the Night King has returned,” but It’s clear they’re circling ideas for a sequel, even though nothing concrete has formed.
Making the film a sequel would set it apart from the Game Of Thrones TV spinoffs
The TV spinoffs are all prequels planned at different times
Continuously expanding in Game of Thrones universe will be an inherently tricky task to maintain viewers’ interest, as they will be constantly jumping across the timeline to different eras. For example, the next show, A Knight of the Seven Kingdomswill be a sequence of Dragon House but a prequel to Game of Thrones. After that, Aegon’s Conquest will be a prequel to all three. Telling a sequential story in a cinematic format can be an interesting way to distinguish it.
Seeing something like “Battle of the Bastards” on the big screen would be great, but I’d prefer it to be a different story from Martin’s world
In a way, the idea of having a Game of Thrones film is attractive to me, as a film adaptation could bring back that “event” feel of the original show. Seeing something on a similar scale to “The Battle of the Bastards” on the big screen would be great, but I’d prefer it to be a different story from Martin’s world, like the Blackfyre Rebellions or the original Long Night.
I’m afraid the Game of Thrones sequel will only be season 9
It’s Too Late To Fix The Game Of Thrones Ending
Like I said, I don’t really want to see Game of Thrones try to bring back the Night King and satisfy the audience’s original desires for The Long Night storyline. This ship has sailed to the HBO adaptation universe and can only be resolved with the release of Martin The winds of winter. may attempt to tell a compelling story about Jon Snow or the world of Westeros after the events of the original series, but they can’t try to retroactively fix season 8’s problems by bringing everyone back for more. It simply won’t work.
Even if it’s speculation, I’m skeptical of Warner Bros.’s broader decisions. related to the franchise in recent years. Dragon House There were already problems with the budget reduction and the company informing that they only had eight episodes for the 2nd season, causing several narrative complaints. HBO had the right ingredients from the start Game of Thronesand I don’t want to see them try to turn the franchise into something it isn’t in hopes of using the title to attract box office.
