George R.R. Martin Teases Game of Thrones Movies!

[MidniteJay]

Only way da gawd would've got clapped

Funny, the royal army had more numbers. 5 thousand more than the rebel army. Rhae-Rhae didn't get jumped, breh. He was just riding with a bunch of weak nikkas.

Even then Robert ran through and met Rhaegar on a one on one. Rhaegar got his licks in, injuring Robert but he ultimately got crunched by the hammer. Rob B. left that nikka laid out on a ford with jewelry everywhere.

I hate to be the voice of reason but "Game of Thrones" is nowhere near as popular as "Lord of the Rings". Or even "Harry Potter".

The entire series of books sold around 25 mill in North America, "LOTR" trilogy sold 150 million. "The Hobbit" alone sold another 100 million.

On the one hand I'd like to see a "GoT" movie but on the other hand the show only averages 4-5 million viewers, there's no way in hell they'd recoup off a $100 mill budget. So I'd rather they just stuck to TV, the show has been thriving there. Maybe do a spin off or the prequel like they said.

Hunger games trilogy sold 26 million as of 2012 and it has a huge movie budget with big names


A Dance of Dragons had the highest single and first-day sales of any new fiction title published in 2011 at that point, with 170,000 hardcovers, 110,000 e-books, and 18,000 audio books reportedly sold on the first day

Exactly. He taking into account first viewing. Game of Thrones average 11 million viewers over the week. I will GUARAN-fukkING-TEE. Game of Thrones would make 700-800 million dollars in the movie theater worldwide if it's released. And that's a conservative number. Hex you are delusional. fukking BATTLESHIP a terrible fukking movie made 237 million dollars overseas.

Hex you don't understand how big international box office is to the success of feature films today. These blockbusters live off of International box office.

Game of Thrones has a huge international following. And HEX guess what? Most lots of people bootleg GOT overseas because HBO is not carried in some of the countries. People will come out in droves to watch GOT in theaters.

I'm laughing at this nikka HEX saying he's " the voice of reason". Comparing a book that has been out half a century to a book that has barely been out 15 years?

Hes been on high horse ever since people have given him props for his posts on shows and movies

Hey, Hex, guess what other movie adapted from a book had only sold 20 million copies and is a huge blockbuster film? THE fukkING HUNGER GAMES. Which is now a billion dollar franchise. Thank God you don't run a movie studio Hex. Jesus Christ!

Yea. The Twilight books only sold 25 million copies too before the the first movie came out. It obviously became a huge franchise.

"I think it will definitely bring a bigger audience," said Elizabeth Eulberg, publicist for the "Twilight" books. "We just hope the people who haven't read the books who see the movie will read them."

Eulberg said sales had spiked in recent weeks and worldwide sales of the four books in the series now top 25 million, in 37 languages including Vietnamese, Chinese, Croatian and Latvian.

"Do we run for seven years?" the author continued. "Do we run for eight? Do we run for 10? The books get bigger and bigger (in scope). It might need a feature to tie things up, something with a feature budget, like $100 million for two hours. Those dragons get real big, you know."

seems like he saying the scale of the ending might be too big for HBO. at least with whatever budget the series gets

Anybody who thinks a Game of Thrones movie wouldn't do 700-800 million at the box office is crazy. And the book sales would spike overnight with the success of the movie. Regardless of GRRM's input, there will be a Game of Thrones movie. Hollywood will just wait til he dies and buy the rights. Expect a LOTR type of movie series (2 trilogies) from GOT because its so much history there.

Rhaegar fought valiantly. Rhaegar fought honorably. And Rhaegar died.

DEAL WITH IT

Prequels would make great movies!

i don't think RR would argue more money in the bank tho

 

[Hacksaw Jim Thuggin]

i dont know brehs...all those 'newer' trilogies yall are talking about have main characters that people can follow and root for...GOT doesnt really have that...Martin kills off everybody...i could be wrong...but i dont see it....

guess we'll have to wait and see tho

 

[Savior]

His old ass needs to get back to writing ...I get more convinced by the day that he ain't finishing the series

 

[hex]

Compare book sales that have been out for half a century brehs...
GOT gets 4-5 mill first airing. Not including all HBOgo viewings, second airings, etc. Also the most downloaded show for the past 2 years. A movie would more than recoup...

I'm not the one that made the comparison. I quoted the guy that did. It isn't my fault the comparison isn't favorable to "GoT".
