Game of Thrones
George R.R. Martin updates the status of ‘The Winds of Winter’, the new ‘Game of Thrones’ book: “It’s going pretty well”
The author has acknowledged that he has to finish the novels, although it’s not going as fast as he would like.
The universe of ‘Game of Thrones’ has expanded over the years. Although the last two books are dragging on, HBO has continued to work on new spin-offs for television, which have continued to enrich the world of Westeros. After ‘House of the Dragon’ it will be the turn of ‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’, but that’s just the beginning. And what about the novels? In an interview with Collider, author George R.R. Martin has reinforced his intention to complete both ‘The Winds of Winter’ and ‘A Dream of Spring’, although he has recognized that things are not going as fast as he would like.
The reflection has occurred when they were talking about the challenges of adapting the novels to television, since you have to take into account some factors such as budget constraints: “You try to make the story as good as it can be, and some fans will like it, some fans will not like it. You’re always going to get criticism, but you’ve got to keep trying. You’ve got to try to do every one the best it can possibly be.” It’s next that he mentioned the books.
“There’s always the books, and I’m aware of that people think that— But no, I have to get back. I have to finish the books. That’s the one thing I’m completely in control of. There’s no budget limitations. There’s no other executives on the studio side that I have to please, or other writers with different views. The books are what I’m going to make them. And, I think the one I’m writing is coming pretty well, but I wish it would come faster.”
‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’ to get second season
A few weeks ago, HBO let slip that it was shuffling around the possibility of adapting the other Dunk and Egg stories. Now, George R.R. Martin has confirmed that the platform is already working on the second season: “”I’ve seen Dunk and Egg, the first season, and it’s great. And now they’re working on the second season. Those are two characters were really special to me, and they’re unusual, those characters. They’re not what most people would expect in a fantasy story.” The writer hopes people will be open to change, because ‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’ is “a little softer”, and ”a little more humorous.”
