There is a REAL<\/em> prequel in development starring Naomi Watts. Few details have emerged but you can follow updates direct from HBO here.<\/a> It will take place thousands of years before the\u00a0Game of Thrones<\/em> story we know.<\/p>\nThere are four other potential spin-offs in the wings.<\/h4>\n
Though HBO is only moving forward with one prequel for now, there are four other projects that could still potentially get the green-light. Here’s what we know:<\/p>\n
Prequel #2: Max Borenstein<\/strong><\/p>\nMax Borenstein, a screenwriter for\u00a0Kong: Skull Island<\/em>\u00a0and an upcoming\u00a0Godzilla<\/em>movie, is working on a prequel idea for HBO. He hasn\u2019t said anything about his project, but he did speak to\u00a0Creative Screenwriting<\/a>\u00a0about his experiences working on both smaller scale and big-budget projects. \u201cSometimes it makes sense for a studio to plug screenwriters who do smaller, dramatic pieces into movies that are of giant scale,\u201d he said. \u201cWhat they\u2019d like to do is bring those giant-scale movies down to earth a little.\u201d<\/p>\nPrequel #3: Brian Helgeland<\/strong><\/p>\nBrian Helgeland, who won the Best Adapted Screenplay Oscar for\u00a0L.A. Confidential\u00a0<\/em>(and,\u00a0the same year,<\/a>\u00a0the Razzie for\u00a0The Postman<\/em>\u2019s screenplay), is working on a prequel idea for\u00a0Game of Thrones<\/em>. More recently, he was behind the movie\u00a0Legend<\/em>, which starred Tom Hardy in dual roles as twins. He hasn\u2019t talked about the project, but back in 2015 he said television wasn\u2019t for him. \u201cIt\u2019s only in the last four or five years that that\u2019s become an option, but I\u2019m not interested in TV,\u201d he told\u00a0Collider<\/em><\/a>. \u201cI want to make movies so I\u2019m going to die with my boots on.\u201d<\/p>\nPrequel #4: Carly Wray and George R. R. Martin<\/strong><\/p>\nCarly Wray, a writer for\u00a0The Leftovers<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Mad Men<\/em>, is working on a prequel idea with Martin. Wray hasn\u2019t done much press around her previous projects\u2014or around this one\u2014but she is coming straight off another critically beloved HBO drama, so the transition would be pretty easy for her.<\/p>\nPrequel #5: Bryan Cogman and George R.R. Martin<\/strong><\/p>\nEntertainment Weekly<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>reports Bryan Cogman, a co-executive producer and prolific writer on\u00a0Game of Thrones<\/em>, is working on a fifth prequel. He worked with George R.R. Martin on the concept, but of course is tight-lipped about what the show is about.<\/p>\nMartin hinted at a fifth prequel series in the works back in May, without mentioning Cogman’s name. \u201cHe\u2019s a really terrific addition,\u201d Martin wrote on his\u00a0LiveJournal<\/a>. \u201cA great guy and a fine writer, and aside from me and maybe\u00a0Elio and Linda<\/span>\u00a0[who run Westeros.org], I don\u2019t know anyone who knows and loves Westeros as well as he does.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
