After its success on the HBO platform, Game of Thrones is reportedly going to be coming to the big screen soon. The series, which once set a record as one of the most successful television shows, is reportedly preparing a big screen film as part of its development into new media.
According to a report from The Hollywood Reporter on Saturday November 2, 2024, the Game of Thrones big screen film is currently in the early stages of development by Warner Bros. Fans will have to be patient as the film is not expected to be released anytime soon.
There are no writers or directors attached to the project yet. Story details are still being kept under wraps, so it's unknown whether the film will continue the story of the Game of Thrones series , or instead will feature another prequel story like House of the Dragon. THR reports that the opening of HBO's Game of Thrones film could be influenced by a change in leadership.
David Benioff and Dan Weiss, the creators behind the Game of Thrones series, had proposed the idea of concluding the story with a trilogy of feature films. However, the request was denied because HBO wanted to keep the series as a television exclusive.
Now, with Casey Bloys at the helm at HBO, they seem to be starting to see the benefits of having a franchise that connects the small screen and the big screen. Recently, The Penguin , a spin-off of The Batman, has gained a lot of popularity on HBO, garnering a large number of viewers.
Meanwhile, Denis Villeneuve's Dune will also be developed into a TV series titled Dune: Prophecy which will soon be available on HBO. On the other hand, Warner Bros. Discovery is also bringing the Harry Potter franchise to a new medium through a reboot series that is currently being developed for television.
There is still room to continue expanding the Game of Thrones franchise beyond the various spin-off series that are already underway. Additionally, another prequel series, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms , is planned to premiere in 2025.
