One thing's for sure - if you're cast as any Game of Thrones character, you better have a back-up gig sorted.

One thing's for sure - if you're cast as any Game of Thrones character, you better have a back-up gig sorted.

Saw an interview with Kit Harington and John Bradley where they remarked it's pretty rare to have an acting job as long as they have.

the untitled prequel takes place thousands of years before the events of Game of Thrones. It 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.

This, if it lasts long enough, will do the White Walker long night no sun spooky stuff we might've expected in the original series until this week.

In the criminal justice system, sexually-based offenses are considered especially heinous. In Kings landing, the dedicated detectives who investigate these vicious felonies are members of an elite squad known as the Special Victims Unit Stark and Clegane. These are their stories.

I'd like the see The Doom of Valyria/Targaryen story

The problem with a Blackfyre Rebellion is that it would be heavy on CGI dragons, which are apparently very expensive

GOT is at a stage now in which it needs Dragons. Kinda like the same way a Star Wars movie needs Lightsabers.

I'm not sure I agree. Dragons aren't essential.

 

[drd23]

Well considering that the prequel is supposed to be about The Age of Heroes, there won't be any dragons in it.

Maybe they'll actually do direwolves justice in that series?

 

[Bomberboyokay]

It doesn't need dragons but that's what Game of Thrones is famous for now so they'll put them in.

 

[Bomberboyokay]

If season 8 of the original series is the style and tone they're going for, I don't want to watch 73 episodes.

 

[Thrawn]

I just want to see Asshai and the Shadowlands.

The Age of Heroes refers to the period of time when the Children of the Forest made a pact with the First Men, which brought about peace.

All the footage for this trailer is take from the original series, but shows what relevant towards to new show.

That's a fan video.

 

[SM]

A really bad fan video.

 

[akkaps]

Is it? I thought this channel was legit?

Is it? I thought this channel was legit?

Surely if the channel was legit it'd have the little verified blue tick

 

[Kirby]

Apparently they have started filming this.

 

[Bomberboyokay]

How about TWO prequels! https://deadline.com/2019/09/house-...-ryan-condal-george-rr-martin-hbo-1202732221/

 

[akkaps]

Would definitely be interested in a House Targ backstory.

 

[Seeds]

Prequel cancelled

 

[Kirby]

Yes, it sounds like the pilot wasn't any good so HBO pulled the pin.

The “Game Of Thrones” Prequel Starring Naomi Watts Is No Longer Happening At HBO

The prequel was to be set in a time period thousands of years before the beloved original series.

‘Game Of Thrones’ Prequel ‘House Of The Dragons’ Gets Straight To Series Order From HBO

One Game of Thrones prequel may be dead, but another has been given the gift of life by HBO today. House of the Dragons is coming to the premium cabler it was made official Tuesday at WarnerMedia’s news-heavy HBO Max investors presentation. Jumping beyond pilot, the House Targaryen story from George R.R. Martin and Colony co-creator/exec producer Ryan Condal has received a 10-episode straight-to-series order.

GoT veteran Miguel Sapochnik and Condal will partner as showrunners and will also serve as executive producers along with Martin and Vince Gerardis, it was just announced at WarnerMedia Day by Casey Bloys, president, HBO Programming.

House of the Dragons marks Sapochnik’s first project as part of an HBO overall deal where he will develop and produce content for both HBO and HBO Max.

Written by Condal based on George R.R. Martin’s Fire & Blood, the series, which is set 300 years before the events of Game of Thrones, tells the story of House Targaryen. Sapochnik will direct the pilot and additional episodes.

“The Game of Thrones universe is so rich with stories,” says Bloys. “We look forward to exploring the origins of House Targaryen and the earlier days of Westeros along with Miguel, Ryan and George.”

While narrative specifics on the project based on Martin’s Fire & Blood book are scarce, House of the Dragons will certainly be rich in the dragonlord ancestors of Daenerys. We also hear that the Dance of Dragons civil war alluded to in the blockbuster GoT TV series that just ended its Emmy-winning eighth season earlier this year, and in the books, looks likely to makes up a big part of this prequel’s tale.

This project is one of the remaining four GoT spinoffs in the works at various stages for HBO and its corporate overlords at AT&T. In the works with Martin and Condal since fall 2018, the House Targaryen project from old pals Martin and Condal takes on material originally explored by Bryan Cogman in one of the five GoT prequel scripts commissioned by the then Richard Plepler-run HBO two years ago.

With HBO Max set to launch next spring, the House of the Dragons project comes from the first installment in the pre-GoT book series was published in November 2018. Further chronicling the long-ruling house’s reign, the second Fire & Blood book is expected in the next year or so, we hear.

The unveiling of this latest GoT project moving ahead comes just hours after Deadline exclusively revealed that the Naomi Watts-led prequel pilot being showrun by Jane Goldman had its plug pulled by the premium cabler. Back in September, Deadline’s Nellie Andreeva revealed that the Martin and Condal offering was looking pretty promising for HBO’s future – especially with the problems behind the scenes with the Goldman project we now know about.

Sapochnik won an Emmy for Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series as well as the DGA Award for the Game of Thrones episode, Battle of The Bastards. He was nominated for another Emmy in 2019 for directing the episode, “The Long Night” and shared the Emmy for Best Drama Series as an Executive Producer for the final season. In total, Sapochnik has directed six episodes of Game of Thrones. He also directed the film, Bios for Amblin Studios starring Tom Hanks which debuts in the fall of 2020. Previously, Sapochnik directed episodes of “True Detective” for HBO and Banshee for Cinemax.

Ryan Condal was the co-creator and showrunner of Colony for three seasons. He was the writer of MGM’s Hercules and is currently adapting the graphic novel Analog as a feature for Lionsgate.

Much more excited about this than the prequel that was just cancelled. Imagine how good the Dance of Dragons would be!
