According to a new report, we should get ready to see Westeros on the big screen. That comes via a new The Hollywood Reporter article today, which says Warner Bros. has been "quietly" developing a feature film based on George R.
R. Martin's fantasy universe, originally adapted in HBO's megahit Game of Thrones. The report notes that "at least one" film is in the works, hinting that WB could have even more cinematic plans for the franchise.
Still, it should be pointed out that the project is apparently in very early development, with no creatives or cast attached yet. And forget The Winds of Winter — the winds of Hollywood are fickle, and film development can take a very long time. Still, it's big news that WB is considering capitalizing on one of its biggest hits ever by taking it to the big screen.
IGN has reached out to Warner Bros. for comment. It's no secret that the studio has been keen to keep building out Martin's universe on screen, though until now, that's been limited to TV.
After Game of Thrones wrapped in 2019, HBO debuted its first spinoff, the Targaryen-focused House of the Dragon, in 2022. A second season aired earlier this year, and a third is set to begin production in early 2025 . Outside of House of the Dragon, though, Warner Bros.
' quest for more Game of Thrones has been a mixed one on the development side. In 2020, the studio confirmed that it completely scrapped a prequel starring Naomi Watts , while Kit Harington recently said a planned Jon Snow spinoff.
