ASOIAF / Game of Thrones (SPOILERS INSIDE)

[beyondinfin]

I finished the first Dunk and Egg book about a week ago, and it was a great little story. Im gonna start the next one today. It really makes me wish we had a lot more books in the GOT universe, covering different eras and stories.

So George RR Martin confirmed a few weeks ago that there is going to be a movie and he doesn't have any involment with it cause he wants to focus on writing the books.

My Hopes / Specualtion is that its a Pre-quel movie and covers the rebelion of Robert / Eddard Stark. Tons of small battles to lead up to the huge ones (the trident / Kings landing) tons of story line / character development with the mad king burning Eddards Brother / Dad. The Iron Men rebelion. Siege on Storms end or was it dragonstone? Would love to see it cover the vastly enriched history of what happened before the books.

I got "A knight of the seven kingdoms" yesterday, started reading it, and couldn't put it down. I finished The Hedge Knight and finally went to sleep. Work sucked ass today but the story was definitely good.

I would really love a novel or series of novels about the dance of the dragons or the first couple of blackfyre rebellions.

PS: Thanks holahouze and Sirken for mentioning a knight of the seven kingdoms

theyve been written. they are called: "The Rogue Prince" & "The Princess and the Queen". read them in that order. the Princess and the Queen picks up right where the Rogue Prince leaves off. these basically cover the dance of the dragons pretty well. they are also available on audio on youtube. enjoy

Makes the most sense. If they didn't go with this, I don't know what else would make a better movie.

Also "no involvement" at all?? Hard to believe and would be the definition of selling out.

I think he just means hes not going to be in the day to day development/writing process. And just shown the final product and told to rubber stamp it.

Martin de-bunked the movie rumor around end of September. You can find his own words on his website. Scroll down Not a Blog until 9/28 entry.

I also read an article recently where Martin was quoted about possibility of movie. In it, Martin said something like HBO owns broadcast/production rights, but Martin owns content. They can't make a move independently. Sorry, i can't locate that article.

remember Rohanne Webber (the red widow lady from the second dunk & egg book)? did you ever connect the dots on her being Tywin's grandmother? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Sirken, I'm finding a fair number of houses/families mentioned in D&E stories get little to no mention in ASOIAF. Is that the price paid for backing the wrong dragon?

as far as the movie, i srsly doubt he'd okay a roberts rebellion movie. there's too many unknowns that would be shown, and i think GRRM likes that veil to hide behind. plus, thered be no dragons.

i think a D&E movie (and possible trilogy) would be the safest bet. especially because theres already source material written.

Ha! I did. eg. "you lie." Said Dunk. "That's two words."

I don't want to spoil stories with too many specifics, but only one of the Lords was executed. I assumed the others were punished and that is why they are absent from future stories, but thought i would ask. Lesson being, don't cross Bloodraven.

I really wonder how it went down when Aemon had Bloodraven arrested and then sent to the wall. I have a feeling BR could have used his mojo to avoid that fate, but maybe he understood he had a higher calling awaiting,
