#GAME OF THRONES SEASON 8 REVIEWS SERIES#
After spending nearly half a century building the world of Westeros, Martin's series finally has a version of its ending on Sunday.Īnd you have to wonder what this younger, shaggier version of George R.R. In fact, it would take something like 25 Lord of the Rings-length movies to tell George R.R. It would be very difficult and require more room than nine films to tell this story. But, he's right about adapting this story to film.
In reality it's been more than 20 years, and he still hasn't finished those books. He's wrong that he'll still be writing them five to six years from now. As it turns out, George was both right and wrong. He was also skeptical-rightly so-about how this story could be adapted to film or TV. They're doing Lord of the Rings as three films and all three volumes of Lord of the Rings are about the size of one of my books, so I already have nine films by that standard.Įven then, more than two decades ago, George had an idea of how this story, which he'd been creating since the '70s, would end up. The very size of it would make it very difficult to do as a film. I love television and I'd love to see some of my books made if they're done right. As he says in the grainy footage: I've been writing these books off and on since 1971 and I suspect I'll still be writing them five to six years from now before I can finally wind up the story the way I see it winding up. At the time of this interview, George is a largely unknown fantasy author, and his book hadn't even been published in the United States yet.
Martin at a convention in 1998 shortly after the publication of A Clash of Kings, the second novel in his A Song of Ice and Fire series. There's an old interview with George R.R.
