"Could Daenerys Targaryen's dragons be heading to a multiplex?" the Hollywood Reporter asked Game of Thrones author George R.R. Martin last week following the season-four premiere of the HBO series in New York City.
"It all depends on how long the main series runs," Martin replied. "Do we run for seven years? 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."
Another possibility being considered is a film adaptation of his Game of Thrones prequel novella series Tales of Dunk and Egg. "They could be the basis for [a film]," he said. "I have written these three stories, and I have about a dozen more." The prequel characters are the direct ancestors of some of Game of Thrones' players, but Martin wouldn't reveal how they relate, Hollywood Reporter wrote.
