George R.R. Martin has shared an update on the new "Game of Thrones" prequel pilot that HBO has greenlit. As the author explained on his blog on Monday:Yes, this is a prequel, not a sequel. None of the characters or actors from GAME OF THRONES will appear in the new show. All of the successor shows we바카라 게임 웹사이트�ve been developing have been prequels, as I have mentioned before. This one really puts the PRE in prequel, since it is set not ninety years before GAME OF THRONES (like Dunk & Egg), or a few hundred years, but rather ten thousand years (well, assuming the oral histories of the First Men are accurate, but there are maesters at the Citadel who insist it has only been half that long). We바카라 게임 웹사이트�re very early in the process, of course, with the pilot order just in, so we don바카라 게임 웹사이트�t have a director yet, or a cast, or a location, or even a title. (My vote would be THE LONG NIGHT, which says it all, but I바카라 게임 웹사이트�d be surprised if that바카라 게임 웹사이트�s where we end up. More likely HBO will want to work the phrase 바카라 게임 웹사이트�game of thrones바카라 게임 웹사이트� in there somewhere. We바카라 게임 웹사이트�ll know sooner or later).For those who don't remember, The Long Night is a Westeros historical event 8,000 years before the Targaryen Conquest, during which the winter lasted an entire generation. As the Game of Thrones Wiki explains:Thousands starved as the crops and fields lay buried under dozens of feet of snow. In the darkness and cold of the Long Night, the White Walkers descended upon Westeros from the farthest north, the polar regions of the Lands of Always Winter. The conflict that arose from the Long Night is known as the War for the Dawn as the White Walkers sought to bring an end to all life and to cover the world in an endless winter.During the events of "Game of Thrones," The Long Night is simply the stuff of bedtime stories and legend. This was the period during which the Children of the Forest created the White Walkers, Bran the Builder created the Wall, and the ancient hero Azor Ahai lived. As the Wiki explains:According to Melisandre, a great darkness descended upon the land, and a hero known as Azor Ahai wielded a flaming sword named Lightbringer in battle against the darkness to win back the dawn. The holy texts of the Lord of Light prophesy that there will come a time when the Long Night will return, and Azor Ahai will be reborn to lead the people of the world to victory once again. This specific legend is apparently widespread across the Further East of Essos, because Azor Ahai is also known as Hyrkoon the Hero, Yin Tar, Neferion, and Eldric Shadowchaser, depending on the region in which the story is told.So it's safe to assume that this new prequel will detail some of these ancient characters whose names we already know. What's also interesting is considering one "Game of Thrones" character is said to be Azor Ahai reborn, is it possible that the same actor would play The Prince That Was Promised thousands of years in the past?In his post, Martin has also given an update on the other "Game of Thrones" prequels that are in development:As for the other successor shows바카라 게임 웹사이트� if you have been following along, you know that we started with four, and eventually went to five. One of those has been shelved, I am given to understand, and of course Jane바카라 게임 웹사이트�s pilot is now moving to film. But that does not mean the others are dead. Three more GAME OF THRONES prequels, set in different periods and featuring different characters and storylines, remain in active development. Everything I am told indicates that we could film at least one more pilot, and maybe more than one, in the years to come. We do have an entire world and tens of thousands of years of history to play with, after all. But this is television, so nothing is certain.And yes, he's still writing another small thing called "The Winds of Winter.""And yes, before you ask, work on WINDS OF WINTER continues, and remains my top priority. It is ridiculous to think otherwise," Martin wrote. "If I wasn바카라 게임 웹사이트�t busy with WINDS, don바카라 게임 웹사이트�t you think I바카라 게임 웹사이트�d be scripting one or more of these pilots myself? It바카라 게임 웹사이트�s not as if I바카라 게임 웹사이트�ve never written for TV바카라 게임 웹사이트�"Hmmmm... It sounds very promising?
