Big news for Game of Thrones fans! What could be better than the series already doing so well on cable channel HBO? Why talks of a big screen adaptation of course. The Daily Beast has recently interviewed revered cast member Charles Dance, who we all know plays the ruthless Tywin Lannister on the HBO show. Even though his character has been brutally murdered by his own son Tyrion Lannister in the last season, the actor still shared some juicy tidbits about the series' future.
During his promotional rounds for his latest movie, the Benedict Cumberbatch starrer The Imitation Game, Charles Dance took some time to share what he knew about a possible Game Of Thrones movie. "There's talk of eventually trying to do a feature film, but I don't know which of the storylines," Charles Dance shared. There's so much to cram into a film."
It's true that purist book readers have had their gripes about the TV version already cutting out too many of the scenes from the Game Of Thrones books that give the story so much more depth and substance. These type of fans will probably be even more prone to be up in arms when a Game of Thrones movie will try to fit everything all at once in a two hour plus spectacle.
But novelist George R.R. Martin himself is enthusiastic about a possible Game Of Thrones movie to cap off the entire series. It is reported that he has given the go-ahead if the story's epic conclusion were to be a big screen spectacle. "If we go seven or eight seasons and then the show is still big enough that we can get the $200 million to finance a huge epic movie to end it ... sure!" George R. R. Martin said. The author's only condition is that the movie not be in 3D. "I don't care about 3D - it gives me a headache," he said in an interview with the Independent Magazine.
