SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 ‘Game of Thrones’ Prequel Casts Naomi Watts in Lead Role https://www.msn.com/en-us/tv/news/‘game-of-thrones’-prequel-casts-naomi-watts-in-lead-role/ar-BBP7IWB?OCID=ansmsnnews11 Naomi Watts will star in the “Game of Thrones” prequel pilot at HBO that hails from Jane Goldman Taking place thousands of years before the events of “Game of Thrones,” Goldman’s project chronicles the world’s descent from the golden Age of Heroes into its darkest hour. And only one thing is for sure: from the horrifying secrets of Westeros’ history to the true origin of the white walkers, the mysteries of the East to the Starks of legend–it’s not the story we think we know.

I'll watch trying to avoid the obvious plot hole that the dragons are basically unstoppable and why did we have to wait all this time for them to go to the bad side?

Fadingpain Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 If it's being produced by the same GOT people, I have to assume it will be just as good. Which means this is the most exciting thing I've read in a long time. Thanks Shady for the update! I say it all the time, but if people are NOT watching GOT b/c you're not into the subject matter, you're screwing yourself out of one of the best TV series of all time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought people would find it interesting. All they have to do really is follow the basics have dragons Create a storyline about the “children” create the White Walker king have a few wars.

RaoulDuke79 Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Probably will be a bunch of cameos. What a great show. I'm finally getting some time to read the series .

Oh, and I should also say… as most of you know, HBO is presently developing a number of different prequels to GAME OF THRONES. I know I am going to be asked whether those shows are going to be based on material from FIRE & BLOOD. It’s a logical question. The only answer I can give is… ah, well, no one is sure yet, and anyway, I am not allowed to say. ... Edited November 3, 2018 by Foxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted November 3, 2018 Author Share Posted November 3, 2018 In the novels and the 2014 companion book The World of Ice & Fire, Martin establishes that, millennia before the events of A Song of Ice and Fire series, a pact existed between the Children of the Forest (elf-like creatures) and the First Men (mankind).

Only downside is his lack of English accent (wouldn't fit in the sound of the show) and I highly doubt Banks can do a convincing one. 3 hours ago, Foxx said: i'm guessing that's a typo. reading Martins blog, it is 300 years prior? Exactly when it's set or the direction they take with it really isn't important for me. As long as the writers are the same, the lifeblood of the show will be just as good. At that point, it's just an excuse to keep the world created in the show going for more episodes, which works for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good dynamic between him and the Hound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
