Could the dragons of Westeros finally be coming to the big screen?

At least one Game of Thrones movie is in very early stages of development, trade outlets The Hollywood Reporter and Deadline report.

The original HBO Game of Thrones television show became a global cultural phenomenon during its eight-season run from 2011-2019, garnering huge audiences and a record 59 Emmys.

Based on George R.R. Martin’s fantasy novel series A Song of Ice and Fire, the hit show about violent, feuding noble families has already spawned television spin-off House of the Dragon, with more small-screen adaptations confirmed to be in the works.

But while Martin and Game of Thrones executive producers David Benioff and D.B. Weiss have discussed potential movies based on the universe in the past, parent company Warner Bros Discovery has been opposed to bringing the franchise to theatres.
