Stephen King's Carrie will soon be celebrating its semicentennial.

George R.R. Martin promised readers he won't write for HBO's Game of Thrones spin-off House of the Dragon until Winds of Winter is complete.

Folks, it's been a wild few days for Game of Thrones fans as they got hit with the back-to-back-to-back whammy that was David Benioff and D.B. Weiss exiting their Star Wars deal, the Game of Thrones prequel pilot starring Naomi Watts getting canned, and then another prequel, House of the Dragon, getting a whole season order. It's been a lot to take in, but maybe the most important opinion comes from George R.R. Martin, the man behind the Song of Ice and Fire series that started all this in the first place. …

George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire would've been finished already had the A Game of Thrones author stuck to his original plan for the series.

While HBO's George R.R. Martin adaptation Game of Thrones is a massive hit, some other stories might not translate on the small or big screen as well.

Will the direwolves finally get justice in the Game of Thrones prequel? Possibly, according to author George R.R. Martin. While fans of Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire book series were excited to see the close companionship between direwolves and the Starks in HBO’s TV adaptation, the show never really got it right. Worse, they outright maligned the direwolves to the point that the creatures never mattered much in the show anyway. Granted a major reason was because actually filming scenes between the humans and wolves was tricky—the show shot in the UK, but the …

Game of Thrones may be over on the small screen, but book fans know that there is still plenty more to come in Westeros... and plenty more that has already happened, too. Like most adaptations, A Song Of Ice And Fire suffered through some serious editing to make George R R Martin's books appropriate for TV - leaving book fans with a much deeper knowledge of this world, these characters, and lots more Westerosi lore.

E3 2019 doesn't officially start until June 11, but we've already got some mighty spicy looks at the next few years of video gamin'. Yesterday brought the first gameplay footage from Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, but today managed to top it with this two-second video of Keanu Reeves saying "cyberpunk" like Cookie Monster. Wait, sorry, no, today topped it with the epic trailer for Elden Ring for the XBOX, From Software's game set in a fantasy world cooked up by A Song of Ice and Fire mastermind George R.R. Martin and Dark Souls creator …

If Game of Thrones feels familiar to viewers, it might be because author George RR Martin was inspired by several popular fantasy works while writing. All artists steal from one another, accumulating ideas to twist and mold into new and different plots. Watching or reading media is like playing Six Degrees of Separation with your favorite artists. There's even a book by Austin Kleon called Steal Like An Artist that describes the process.

You know nothing, GRRM.

The Game of Thrones series finale airs in just one week, but shortly after that, fans of George R.R Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire book series may be in for a huge surprise. The smash-hit HBO series launched in 2011, adapting Martin’s epic fantasy series for the small screen. That same year, Martin published the fifth book in his planned seven-book series, which began in 1996. The show roughly adapted one book per season, but while Martin maintained that he would finish the book series before the TV show wrapped up, it quickly …

As of today, we are but a mere three episodes away from the final episode of Game of Thrones, ever. The Night King is dead, Daenerys Targaryen has her eyes set on Cersei Lannister, Bran is still...Bran, and the very end of the story looms just over the horizon. But that doesn't mean we're leaving Westeros behind, necessarily. A Song of Ice and Fire creator George R.R. Martin took to his blog to offer a few life updates (Avengers: Endgame - loved it!), a few conspicuously absent non-updates (Winds of Winter - no word!), and a rumor-…

Man, I don't know, I feel bad for George RR Martin. I'm as extremely hyped as anyone for the imminent return of Game of Thrones for its eighth and final season, and I know ol' George has been writing these final two installments in the Song of Ice and Fire book series as the same pace an army of reanimated corpses walked to the Wall. But man, I don't know. Imagine carefully crafting a complex narrative over decades that spans bloodlines, continents, and overlapping storylines, and then two goobers who thought a slavery drama in the year …

Even George R.R. Martin doesn’t know how Game of Thrones ends, and he created the characters in the first place. The author’s book series A Song of Ice and Fire serves as the basis for the hit HBO show, and Martin famously said years ago that there was no way the show would finish before he completed his books. Well, the final season of Game of Thrones debuts in April, and there are still two books in A Song of Ice and Fire yet to be published. In fact, it’s been since 2011 that Martin published … The post ‘Game of Thrones’: George R.R Martin Hasn’t Read the Final Season Scripts appeared first on Collider.
