The creator of the books on which Game of Thrones is based, revealed in an interview for the German newspaper Welt that approximately four years ago he had conversations with co-creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss to finalize the plan to end the history of Westeros with three feature films intended to be screened in theaters.

In this way, George R.R. Martin explained on Reddit why it finally didn’t happen: “Because HBO didn’t want that.

What is cinema today? What is the television? What is streaming? Is Netflix making movies or television now? Everything is mixed, ”he concluded.
