Game of Thrones - Movie? and Season 6 - UPDATE: no movie :-(

[LadyNymeria]

It's been a bit since we talked GoT and a couple things popped up on my radar this morning!

Apparently there's talk of a GoT movie after the TV show is done!!! I would love a GoT movie!! GRRM says he won't be involved because he's too busy writing, but if it's true it's being worked on by the HBO writers and could potentially be a prequel to the show. I would love this to be true!!

And in more spoilery news...pictures are starting to leak from Season 6 filming!!! If you don't want to have any idea of what may happen in Season 6, don't open the link. If you don't care, here you go!

Season 6 Leaked Photos and Theories

SPOILER: Click to show

{My thoughts on the link above}
I am so excited someone caught view of Jon Snow!!!!! I hope he rallies the North and beats the shit out of the Bolton army.

I wish Season 6 was starting sooner!!!!!

Ahhh!

The movie sounds awesome. I agree a prequel would make sense. There is so much already written about the history behind the events of ASOIAF that they could easily create 2 hours of plot without having to invent very much at all. Maybe we will see the Mad King and the series of events that made Robert King. SO EXCITING!!

Those spoilers make me very excited!! I can't wait until it starts!

[easilyunamused]

I'm forcing myself to not look at the spoilers.

The movie would be cool I think. As long as they stay very true to the show. I can't wait for season 6 to start either. So many exciting plots.

Agreed, and I think the fact that it would be the same HBO writers would seriously help in that aspect.

This makes me SO excited!!! I would LOVE a prequel. Imagine how awesome this world would look on a movie screen!

SPOILER: Click to show

{Spoilery Talk}I can't wait for Jon to come back as a Stark and kick some Bolton ass.

Love the movie idea! So many possibilities exist! Cannot wait

Hmmm.. I wonder if this is why they kept saying "Jon Snow is dead". 

SPOILER: Click to show

{Click here to see more.}Maybe he's not Jon Snow anymore.

And because we all know what this thread will turn into....

doodler, you are right!

That's what I'm thinking. Everyone has stuck so hard to that line that the only other alternative is to admit that they lied. Which, really, you can't blame them.

I think a prequel would be great! There's certainly enough history in ASOIAF to pick an interesting story line.

And I'll leave this here:

My response to the prequel

[LadyNymeria]

Apparently the movie is just a rumor. He posted the link to the below LiveJournal entry on his verified Twitter account late last night. (side note - I didn't realize LiveJournal still existed)

Well, now I am depressed.

Can the show START already? Geez.

I like to think GRRM is keeping it alive all on his own, just for him, because he hates change.

[doodler]

I would like for GRRM to get off of Live Journal and get to finishing up the damn book.

[housecarder]

I thought GRRM had talked about doing a prequel already...I mean if he ever finishes this series and doesn't die first.

[emilie]

I wouldn't be surprised if the movie still happens at some point. HBO is owned by Warner and it would be a massive cash cow.

Jessica Brown Findlay (Sibyl from Downton Abbey) would be an amazing Lyanna Stark.

Sometimes, another author taking over a series after the original author dies isn't a bad things. For instance, Brandon Sanderson took over the Wheel of Time series to finish the last three books. They were ready for release faster, and were SO.MUCH.BETTER than the previous couple had been.

Plus, we didn't have to go through the whole releasing-a-prequel-in-between thing.

Then again, I doubt GRRM has put as much thought and prep-work in as Jordan had, by the end.
