'Game of Thrones,' the fantasy epic imagined more than 20 years ago by author George R.R. Martin, will have its much-anticipated finale on HBO later this year.
U.S. novelist George R. R. Martin arrives for the"Game of Thrones" eighth and final season premiere at Radio City Music Hall. "Game of Thrones," the fantasy epic imagined more than 20 years ago by author George R.R. Martin, will have its much-anticipated finale on HBO later this year.
When the Emmy Award-winning television series about noble families vying for the Iron Throne was launched in 2011, the American author had only written four of the seven books that make up his "Song of Ice and Fire" saga. The plot lines for both have already been adapted to the screen based on outlines Martin discussed with screenwriters David Benioff and Dan Weiss on how he foresaw the end of his saga.
But in Martin's case, Allard said although the author had given "Game of Thrones" screenwriters a rough idea of how he envisioned the ending, it is unclear whether the show will stick to his story line. "His contract stipulates that he has to come up with the denouement for the series and provide an outline of what would happen," Allard said. "But he is free to choose a different ending on paper.He said for example that Jon Snow could very well die of his stabbing wound in the next novel rather than be resuscitated as was the case on screen.
"I mean he's... been very much a part of the fan culture of the show, and I think his sense of how audiences feel about his story will certainly affect his choices."
