More book spoilers [spoiler]Yeah that would make sense, hearing tales of Freys going missing all season and then BAM in episode 9 she appears [/spoiler]

Surprised there hasn't been more of a rage on the internet from that interview yet.

Guess I'll wait for something a bit more concrete.

-PB

you obviously dont visit http://www.reddit.com/r/asoiaf/ then hahaha.

Reddit; no thanks lol.

Plenty of other websites to browse instead of Fedora Central.

haha normally I agree definately, ASOIAF is the only reddit I frequent, I find some of the theories interesting, I just dont read any comments lol, mainly a news avenue.

None of that is confirmation. Until I see it concrete on WinterIsComing.net then its gospel.
Just because it didn't happen in S4 doesn't mean we won't see it in S5

I hope your right.

Unfortunately I think they will have lost alot of the suprise factor that they could have had this season because of the internet uproar, has been spoiled for a lot of show watchers.

The coldhands theories seem all but tarnished though with him not involved.

Coldhands is obviously never going to be in it. He has the same fate as Strong Belwas.

There are too many characters for show watchers to keep across as it is. If one of them is merely a guide and does nothing else, he can be cut imo.

Belwas on the other hand...[spoiler]I wanted to see him pwn that knight and take a shit and wipe himself with the dead knight's cloak :lol: [/spoiler]

Hahaha the is definately a funny miss from him.

[spoiler]I'm interested what they will do with the locusts now without belwas, perhaps barristan? but that would leave him too sick.[/spoiler]

Why Does George R.R. Martin Want A ‘Game Of Thrones’ Movie So Badly?
Winter is coming soon, to a theater near you!
By Josh Wigler

Maybe it’s time to take this “Game of Thrones” movie idea seriously after all.

George R.R. Martin, author of “A Song of Ice and Fire” and the mad man responsible for murdering all of your favorite characters, is very much on the record about his desire to see “Game of Thrones” live past its natural lifespan as an HBO series, and wrap up with a big-budget feature film. He’s said it before, and he just said it again, during an appearance at the Neuchâtel International Fantastic Film Festival.

“If we go seven or eight seasons and then the show is still big enough that we can get the $200 million to finance a huge epic movie to end it … sure!” he said, according to Screen Daily. “But that doesn’t mean it has been approved. Some people like the idea. Other people don’t like the idea.”

Like the idea or loathe the idea, it’s worth spending some time thinking about why Martin is so on board with a “Game of Thrones” movie.

There’s one obvious explanation: Ending “Thrones” as a feature film buys Martin a little more time to wrap up the books before the live-action adaptation beats him to the punch. As it stands, “Thrones” could very easily catch or outpace Martin as soon as next season. If the author isn’t able to release the sixth book in the series, “The Winds of Winter,” in the next year or two, then “Thrones” will most assuredly be ahead of Martin’s schedule.

Any plan to end “Thrones” after “seven of eight seasons,” followed up with one massive movie finale, lengthens the time in which Martin can write, write, write like the wind. That’s a happy outcome for just about everybody involved.

But beyond that, Martin’s desire for a “Game of Thrones” movie seemingly tells us a lot about how the story will end. During the festival appearance, Martin spoke about how “Thrones” costs millions of dollars to make every season, but “that’s still nothing to what Peter Jackson spends on a ‘Lord Of The Rings’ movie or what any of these big, epic science fiction or fantasy movies have to spend. To go out with something big like that would be amazing.”

Aside from the “Blackwater” and “The Watchers on the Wall” episodes, massive battles and war scenes have never been the beating heart of “Thrones.” It’s the political drama and the unexpected character twists and turns that keep the world of Westeros in constant flux. Why, then, does Martin feel so strongly about having a massive budget for the final strokes of the story?

Maybe it’s because he plans to blow the whole damn thing up.

As Ned Stark so famously warned, winter is coming; we know the White Walkers exist in numbers beyond the Wall, and we know Dany’s dragons are only getting bigger and bigger. It’s only a matter of time before all these forces come to a head, and perhaps a feature film is the only way to do justice to the massive ideas percolating in Martin’s mind.

Many fans want “Thrones” to wrap up as a television series, as it started. I’m one of them. But it’s worth heeding Martin’s desires for a bigger-budget spectacle. If he thinks that a movie is the best way to go out, then maybe it’s wisest to listen to the man who put all this madness in motion to begin with.

Shows where the bulk of the budget went.

Its the most overhyped show on the internet

despite how much said pirating goes on, Rupert Murdoch must be pleased to be still raking it in, when free will through the internet means we are all free to choose other shows

Why would you even bother to come into a thread about something you have no interest in?
