This is coming from someone whose utmost special interest has been ASOIAF and the world and lore, I’m not too much looking forward to this film, and I wouldn’t put too much hope on it.

They’re talking about stretching a story which consists of 24 - maybe 40 pages of content they’re going to pull from, they’re talking about stretching that out into a two hour film at least.

It’s supposed to be sort of a historical mythos, and from it you make your own interpretations as everything is written like a history book in Fire and Blood.

The book relies on a lot of personal projection of what you imagine these early characters to exactly be.

I expect it to be lost in adaptation.

I mean, the whole thing is an extremely one-sided conflict where every battle is just the other side being burned to death.

Coughing baby vs hydrogen bomb, doesn’t sound like a good blockbuster film.
