George R.R. Martin says he’s working on three animated projects based on his wildly popular “Game of Thrones” franchise.
Writing in a blog post over the weekend, the author said “There is so much on television these days, in the age of streaming, it is hard to keep up. It is always a joy to stumble on a show that you haven’t seen before, a great show that just blows you away, that sinks its claws into you and won’t let go.”
According to CNN, he went on to say “As it happens, HBO and I have our own animated projects, set in the world of A SONG OF ICE & FIRE. None of them have been greenlit yet, but I think we are getting close to taking the next step with a couple of them.”
According to Martin, the previously announced “House of the Dragon” prequel “Nine Voyages” will now be animated.
“Nine Voyages” will tell the story of the Sea Snake Corlys Velaryon, who is played in “House of the Dragon” by Steve Toussaint.
Martin said budgetary constraints would likely have made a live action version prohibitively expensive and that an animated version gave them a better chance of telling the story properly.
And while he is hopeful the projects will make it to screens, he also wrote that “Nothing is certain in Hollywood.”
