Game Of Thrones: We know (a little) more about the spin-off commissioned by HBO – News Series on TV

Despite the revelations of Telegraph ] From Belfast a few weeks ago, the first Game Of Thrones spin-off commissioned last June should not be filmed this fall, but rather early next year. That's what HBO President Casey Bloys has just revealed, adding that he was very impressed by the screenplay written by Jane Goldman (Kick-Ass, Kingsman) with the help of George R.R. Martin. The 4 other projects that were in competition with this one are not all dead, one speaks in particular of Empire Of Ash centered on the Valyrian Empire, but no other order is on the agenda.

This prequel spin-off 8000 years ago and whose work title "The Long Night" ( "The long night" ) should evoke the pbadage of the Age of Heroes to darker hours, and promises to show us that, like Jon Snow, we do not really know anything about the birth of the White Marchers, the origin of the Stark or the terrible secrets of Westeros . " There are strong women characters in this project, but it's a whole, there are women and men, Jane is an excellent screenwriter and we do not want to limit her talent to writing main female characters There are several very complex heroes in the heart of the pilot "Casey Bloys told reporters present at the Television Critics Association (TCA) currently held in Los Angeles.

One thing is certain: in fact, no Game Of Thrones character is expected in this spin-off. " It's very different, especially because it takes place 8000 years ago, but also because the scenery is different, the Westeros of that time has nothing to do with the one we know. "A director is about to sign his contract and should be announced quickly. Then the casting process can begin.
