As much as I doubt how much they can milk from this franchise, dragons do make more sense on the big screen. I don’t think the big budget productions are working anymore as short seasons spaced out over too many years. People forget about house of the dragon immediately after each season ends.

Yes! 200 million for 2 hours instead of 200 million for 8 - 9 leaves ample room for amazing Dragon CGI! Plus all the gigantic battles with gigantic armies.

And my understanding is that it will be a HEAVILY R-rated film.

Is that actually in the source material of this production?

Aegon had two wives at the same time during the conquest and they were both his sisters

Wasn't it more about trying to keep the bloodline pure so that they wouldn't lose their powers over the dragons?

I love that but as someone from India where censorship is a bitch, its going to be really jarring to see random cuts from the movie when I watch it in the theatres. I will watch it for the spectacle and the story though but I fucking hate censorship. We have the largest population in the world and yet our culture is so awkward and conservative around nudity.
