GAME OF THRONES Movie Development Debunked by George R.R. Martin

Movie Game of Thrones George R.R. Martin HBO about 8 years agoby Joey Paur

Yesterday a big rumor hit that George R.R. Martin confirmed that HBO was developing a Game of Thrones film that he would not be a part of. He also reportedly offered up a few details on what that movie might entail. As it turns out that information might not actually be true.

After the rumor hit, Martin responded to it on his personal blog:

"[It's] completely false. No one is working on any movie just now. And if there was a movie, it would not be about Robert's Rebellion."

So it looks like those dreams of a movie have been dashed... for now. Martin has previously confirmed that there has been talk of a Game of Thrones movie, but as of right now nothing is in development. And even if there was, HBO probably wouldn't want him to say anything about it.

HBO is definitely considering a Game of Thrones movie, we just don't know for sure whether or not they plan on actually moving on it yet.
