Take the Black: What do we want from a Game of Thrones movie? Does HBO have a big IP problem?

As a cinema devotee with over three decades of viewing experiences under my belt, I can’t help but feel a mix of excitement and skepticism when it comes to the rumored Game of Thrones movie. Having witnessed the meteoric rise and eventual fall of the series, I find myself both eager to revisit Westeros and cautious about any potential return.


The news is confirmed, though it remains somewhat tentative: HBO is working on a potential film based on “Game of Thrones”. Will it be a prequel, sequel, or something else? Time will tell. For now, let’s discuss what we hope to see in this hypothetical movie, and what we’d prefer to avoid. What significant characters or historical events from George R.R. Martin’s fictional universe would make the cut? Join us as we delve into these questions on a fresh episode of our weekly podcast, Take the Black. Catch the discussion below!

It’s crucial to note that the rumor about a Game of Thrones movie reached us; this isn’t an official confirmation. However, given HBO’s recent trend of venturing into established intellectual properties, possibly due to their parent company Warner Bros. Discovery, I’m not entirely shocked by the news. Shows like House of the Dragon, The Last of Us, The Penguin, and upcoming series such as Dune: Prophecy are examples of this shift. Whether this development is beneficial or detrimental remains to be seen. For now, HBO has managed to give a fresh touch to concepts they didn’t originate, but when will they need to prove their mettle with original ideas? The answer is yet to be determined.
