Westeros

Via Page Six Hollywood, an interesting bit of news has come out that screenwriter Beau Willimon (House of Cards, Andor) is working on writing a script for a Game of Thrones-related film. Page Six Hollywood speculates that it’s an Aegon the Conqueror film, which is interesting given recent news that the Conquest was being developed for both film and television. We initially thought all of this was tied to HBO keeping room open to see what fit the material best, but that was with the belief that Mattson Tomlin was the writer developing it.

Having Willimon in the mix now makes it seem like they’re separate projects entirely. HBO may still be weighing which one to go with, but maybe the plan is for the film to dovetail into a potential television series?

That said, it should be underscored that this is speculative. That Willimon is doing a Game of Thrones-related film seems solid, everything else… well, we’ll have to wait and see.
