The World Of Westeros Expands Even Further With Game Of Thrones Film In The Works
One final chapter in the Game Of Thrones saga is coming to our screens – this time in the form of a feature-length film.
Almost seven years on from one of the most polarising finales in TV history, screenwriter Beau Willimon – best known for his work on House Of Cards and the Star Wars off-shoot Andor – is said to be writing the script for a new movie version of Game Of Thrones.
The news was first reported by Page Six, and later confirmed by The Hollywood Reporter.
Game Of Thrones came to an end in 2019, with a dramatic turn of events that saw Jon Snow offing Daenerys Targaryen, and Sansa Stark ending up on the Iron Throne.
While the last episodes of Game Of Thrones weren’t exactly well-received by fans at the time, that certainly hasn’t stopped the Westeros universe from expanding in the years since.
The popular prequel series House Of The Dragon, set two centuries before the events of Game Of Thrones, is expected to air its third season next year, with James Norton and Tom Cullen among those joining regulars Matt Smith, Emma D’Arcy, Olivia Cooke and Rhys Ifans. A fourth has already been commissioned by US broadcaster HBO.

Meanwhile, a spin-off of a very different nature premiered earlier this year, in the form of A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms, based on Game Of Thrones author Tales Of Dunk And Egg books.
The series was notable in that it vastly differed tonally from other adaptations set in the Game Of Thrones universe, with much more emphasis on comedy than fans are probably used to – which split critics down the middle.
A spin-off centred around the hero Jon Snow was also heavily rumoured to be in the works, but this project was eventually shelved when Kit Harington pulled out.
Game Of Thrones, House Of The Dragon and A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms are all streaming on Now and Sky in the UK.
