Brian Helgeland’s Game of Thrones spinoff, Ten Thousand Ships, is getting docked as HBO shelves the project before it can set sail. Helgeland, the director behind films like L.A. Confidential and A Knight’s Tale and screenwriter for the Tony Scott-directed crime drama Man on Fire, spoke with Inverse about the defunct project, saying it would have focused on Queen Nymeria, the warrior-queen who led the Rhoynar refugees to Dorne.
Helgeland speaks with Inverse and makes Ten Thousand Ships sound biblical in scope and story. He likens Queen Nymeria’s tale to the story of Moses, with survivors from a ravaged country setting sail for a new home.
“It came out great, but I think they felt the period of my show was too far removed from the pillars of the original,” Helgeland explained to Inverse about his spinoff. “That’s why it hasn’t been picked up yet,...

Brian Helgeland’s illustrious Hollywood career includes winning an Oscar for writing “L.A Confidential,” directing Heath Ledger’s beloved 2001 comedy “A Knight’s Tale” and scripting films such as “Man on Fire” and “Mystic River.” It also could’ve included a “Game of Thrones” spinoff series had HBO moved forward on his pitch, which was titled “Ten Thousand Ships” and centered on Queen Nymeria.
“It came out great, but I think they felt the period of my show was too far removed from the pillars of the original,” Helgeland recently told Inverse about his spinoff. “That’s why it hasn’t been picked up yet, but nothing is ever dead. My script was based on Queen Nymeria and this little blurb about her that was in a Westeros encyclopedia.”
“Essentially, it was the story of Moses but swapping him out for Nymeria,” he continued. “Her country gets ruined and her people...

The ongoing restructuring at Warner Bros. Discovery may be affecting one of its most valuable franchises.
Game of Thrones author George R.R. Martin says a couple of potential spinoffs of the megahit have been “shelved,” though others remain in active development. Writing on his blog, Martin attributed the delays to “all the changes at HBO Max.”
Martin wrote that he’s working on “several of the other [Game of Thrones] successor shows that we’re developing with HBO. (Some of those are moving faster than others, as is always the case with development. None have been greenlit yet, though we are hoping … maybe soon.

This article contains spoilers for the first episode of "House of the Dragon."
In the premiere episode of the "Game of Thrones" prequel series "House of the Dragon," young Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen (Milly Alcock) and her friend, Lady Alicent Hightower (Emily Carey), study the histories of their world together beneath the heart tree in the Godswood of King's Landing. Alicent thinks Rhaenyra hasn't been paying attention, but she quickly impresses her friend by reciting the story they were discussing, complete with all of the details. She recounts the tale of Nymeria, a warrior princess of the Rhoynar who helped found the nation that became Dorne. If the name sounds familiar, that's because Arya Stark (Maisie Williams) named her direwolf after the historic heroine. But who is Princess Nymeria, and why does she so inspire the young girls of Westeros?

George R.R. Martin has officially confirmed that the much-rumored Game of Thrones spinoff centered on Jon Snow’s character is currently in development.
“There is a Jon Snow show in development,” the author whose A Song of Ice and Fire series inspired the series wrote on his website, but also emphasized that it has not received the green light from HBO yet. The working title is simply Snow.

Last week, news broke that HBO was in development on a “Game of Thrones” sequel series centered around Kit Harington’s Jon Snow character, the latest in a large suite of projects being developed that have their start in the world created by George R.R. Martin and dramatized by the blockbuster series (which concluded in the summer of 2019). Now, both Martin and Daenerys Targaryen herself Emilia Clarke are talking about the new series and its somewhat surprising origins.
According to Martin, who posted about the news on his website’s Not-a-Blog section, the project is codenamed “Snow” and has been development as long as the other “Game of Thrones”-adjacent series that HBO is developing, which are “Ten Thousand Ships” (from Amanda Segel), “Sea Snake” aka “Nine Voyages” (from “Rome” creator Bruno Heller) and a show centered around characters Dunk and Egg, from “The Pursuit of Happyness” writer Steve Conrad.

You know nothing about HBO’s post-Game of Thrones plans.
The network has entered into early development on its first sequel to its blockbuster fantasy drama: A live-action spinoff series centered on the fan-favorite character Jon Snow, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
Kit Harington is attached to reprise the role should a series move forward. The actor was twice nominated for an Emmy for his portrayal of an action hero who struggles to uphold his family’s noble values in a brutal world.
In Thrones’ eighth-and-final season, Jon Snow discovered his true name was Aegon Targaryen, a potential heir to the Iron Throne. In the series finale, he was exiled from Westeros and journeyed North of the Wall with the Wildlings to leave his old life behind.

“A Song of Ice and Fire” author George R.R. Martin promises he’s still working to finish his book series, but explained in a new blog post that a number of “Game of Thrones” spinoff series have taken up much of his time lately.
“The Winds of Winter,” the planned sixth novel in Martin’s book series, on which the HBO series “Game of Thrones” was based, has been in the works since at least 2011. In a Wednesday post on his blog, Martin admits while he made “a lot” of progress on the book in 2020, he made “less” in 2021. “But ‘less’ is not ‘none,’” Martin added.
Why did he make less progress in 2021? Because he was busy working on various “Game of Thrones” spinoff series in the works at HBO and HBO Max. The first, “House of the Dragon,” has wrapped filming and while HBO has yet to officially greenlight any additional shows,...

George R.R. Martin sent a raven Wednesday with updates on his highly anticipated new projects on his blog.
The 73-year old fantasy author behind “Game of Thrones” (and creative contributor to the just-dropped “Elden Ring” video game) cast some light on the numerous “GoT” prequel series that are in the works. Perhaps more importantly to his O.G. fans, he confirmed that he is still plugging away at his long-delayed novel “The Winds of Winter,” the sixth of seven planned doorstopper books in the “A Song of Ice and Fire” series from which “Game of Thrones” and the entire Westeros mythos derives.
“Winds of Winter,” which was originally due to be published in 2016, is still coming, he says, but as a way of excusing himself for its absence, he wrote that Westeros is bigger than just one project now. But working in that world is his “number one priority,” he said.

Fantasy writer George R.R. Martin took to his blog Wednesday to offer updates on his many Game of Thrones spinoff series, and books including the long-awaited The Winds of Winter, among other projects. He also shared his thoughts on early cuts of HBO’s prequel series House of the Dragon, which he says is “coming soon.”
“House Of The Dragon has wrapped in London and is now in post-production,” he wrote. “What I have seen, I have loved. I am eager to see more.”
Martin says he is developing GoT spinoff series across live-action and animation, for HBO and HBO Max, respectively. “No, can’t tell you how many,” he said. “But it is my hope that a number of these shows will get on the air.”
Those on the live-action side he could speak to included a series centered on the character Corlys Celaryon, for which Rome creator-showrunner Bruno Heller has written the pilot; Nymeria series Ten Thousand Ships, for which showrunner Amanda Segel has delivered “a couple of drafts”; and a Dunk & Egg series from Steve Conrad, based on his novella series Tales of Dunk and Egg, the first season of which will adapt Martin’s novella, The Hedge Knight. “My team and I have had some great sessions with Steve and his team, and we really hit it off. He’s determined to do a faithful adaptation of the stories, which is exactly what I want; these characters and stories are very precious to me,” wrote Martin. “Contrary to what you may have read on line, the show will not be called Dunk & Egg, which could be mistaken for a sitcom by viewers unfamiliar with the stories. We’re leaning toward A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms for the series title, though The Hedge Knight has its partisans as well.”
On the animation side, Martin would only speak to a series set in Yi Ti, a region in the far east of the continent of Essos, the working title of which is The Golden Empire. “We have a great young writer on that one too, and I think the art and animation is just going to be beautiful,” wrote Martin. “I would tell you more if I could. I don’t think I can say a word about the other animated shows. Not yet.”
Martin said that he’s seen comments online questioning how involved he is in the upcoming Game of Thrones projects, sharing that “the answer is: a lot.”
“It’s my world, and while I have been working closely with some fantastic writers and showrunners, ultimately it is up to me to try to keep the canon… well, canonical…,” said Martin, “and to do all I can to help make the new shows great. (And I love these stories too).”
Martin also confirmed today that he is “still working” on The Winds of Winter, the anticipated sixth novel in the epic series A Song of Ice and Fire on which Game of Thrones was based. “I made a lot of progress on Winds in 2020, and less in 2021…” he wrote, “but ‘less’ is not ‘none.’ ”
In addition to Winds, Martin is currently writing “the second volume of Archmaester Gyldayn’s history, Fire & Blood”, with “a couple hundred pages” down and “a long way to go”; as well as “an illustrated, condensed version of Fire & Blood” done with Elio Garcia, Linda Antonsson and Raya Golden, and another book that he describes as “a Who’s Who in Westeros.”
While Martin maintains that “the world of Westeros, the world of A Song Of Ice & Fire” remains his top priority, he’s also currently at work on series including Roadmarks for HBO, Dark Winds for AMC, Wild Cards for UCP and Peacock, and the short film Night of the Cooters from director Vincent D’Onofrio, which he says “should be finished this month.”
Airing between 2011-2019, Game of Thrones was an epic fantasy series created for HBO by David Benioff and D.B. Weiss that saw nine noble families fight for control over the lands of Westeros, with an ancient enemy returning after being dormant for millennia. House of the Dragon is set 200 years before the events of that series and will tell the story of the House Targaryen, associated with GoT characters including Emilia Clarke’s dragon-taming Daenerys.

But we already knew that, right? HBO and HBO Max Chief Content Officer Casey Bloys told Deadline that they are currently in talks with the team behind the dragons to figure out exactly when to launch the spinoff fantasy series and admits that the network was cautious about revealing a date before due to the impact of Covid on production.

No, we still have no word on an official release date for the first “Game of Thrones” spinoff series, “The House of the Dragon.” As it is in production now, it’s likely not going to premiere until well into 2022. However, that isn’t stopping HBO from moving forward on the development of more ‘Thrones’ material, as yet another spinoff, “10,000 Ships,” has landed a writer.

One of the “Game of Thrones” prequels in development at HBO, “10,000 Ships,” has found its writer.
Amanda Segel is set to pen the project, Variety has confirmed. “10,000 Ships” is one of several “Game of Thrones” projects in the works at HBO. The show would follow Princess Nymeria, who journeyed with the Rhoynar to Dorne and married Lord Mors Martell.
HBO declined to comment.
Segel’s past credits include “Person of Interest,” “The Good Wife,” “The Mist,” and “Helstrom.” She is repped by WME, Anonymous Content and Myman Greenspan.
Among the other “Game of Thrones” projects is “9 Voyages,” which would center on Lord Corlys Velaryon — known as the “Sea Snake” and head of House Velaryon, husband to Rhaenys Targaryen — on the Sea Snake vessel. The most well-known nautical adventurer in all of Westeros, Lord Corlys built a house even wealthier than the Lannisters and claims the largest navy in the world.

Exclusive: Princess Nymeria has found her chronicler.
Amanda Segel, co-exec producer on Hulu’s Helstrom and Person of Interest, has been tapped to write one of the Game of Thrones spinoffs.
Deadline understands that Segel is tackling the 10,000 Ships project, which is one of three spinoffs that we revealed were in the works at HBO. HBO declined to comment.
The drama is expected to follow the journey made by warrior queen Princess Nymeria and the surviving members of the Rhoynars, who traveled from Essos to Dorne following their defeat by the Valyrian Freehold in the Second Spice War.
This migration took place around 1,000 years before the events depicted in the A Song of Ice and Fire novels. Arya Stark, played by Maisie Williams, named her direwolf after Nymeria.

The video game publisher has a new pirate-themed game coming out in the near future called Skull & Bones and they are now developing it as a live-action series as well. They are teaming up with Atlas Entertainment (Dirty John, 12 Monkeys) to produce the drama and it sounds like it could be cool!
The game is set during the end of the Golden Age of Piracy and it lets players customize their own ships, sail the Indian Ocean, and wage naval combat in both solo and co-operative gameplay.
Not much is known about the story that the series will tell, but Variety reports that it will feature a female lead. I think a series like this that revolves around pirates has great potential. I love pirates and I’ll definitely be looking forward to this show and hope that it turns out good.
Amanda Segel is set to write the pilot and executive produce it.

Skull & Bones may be known as a stupendous sea-worthy open-world adventure with epic ship battles and pirate pillaging that's been teased for the past two years by game publisher Ubisoft.

When a publisher/developer is extremely confident in their product, they'll tend to pour in as much money as possible to raise awareness and hype. This usually entails a massive marketing blast that includes a ton of PR, a couple of preview videos, or even a celebrity of some sort playing the game. However, for Ubisoft, it often means you're getting a live-action representation of said game. Exhibit A would be last year's Far Cry 5 short film, on Amazon Prime Video, that focused on the events leading up to Far Cry 5. In other cases, if you're a popular IP like Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed series, you'll get a subpar movie starring Michael Fassbender.

In early October, less than a week after a bombshell New York Times report exposed decades of alleged sexual assault and harassment from then-The Weinstein Company head Harvey Weinstein, his brother and business partner Bob Weinstein hit back with some strong words. “My brother Harvey is obviously a very sick man,” Bob Weinstein told TMZ at the time. “I’ve urged him to seek immediate professional help because he is in dire need of it. His remorse and apologies to the victims of his abuse are hollow. He said he would go away for help and has yet to do so.”
Bob Weinstein also responded to a rumor that perhaps he was the one who leaked portions of the story, all the better to oust his brother from TWC. “He has proven himself to be a world class liar and now rather than seeking help he is looking to blame others,...

Harvey Weinstein‘s brother admitted to paying out £250,000 — the equivalent of $600,000 today — from his personal bank account in an effort to conceal sexual harassment and assault settlements against the movie mogul from his wife, Georgina Chapman.
Miramax cofounder Bob Weinstein told The New Yorker that the money was to be split between two female employees in England who accused Harvey of sexual misconduct in the 1990s. Bob used his own money to hide the incident from executives at Miramax and its parent company, Disney, in addition to keeping Chapman in the dark.

Bob Weinstein’s Dimension Films is one of the most attractive elements in the portfolio of the embattled Weinstein Company, but the genre label’s future is seriously in doubt in the aftermath of Harvey Weinstein’s whiplash-inducing fall from grace this month. Many of the top projects on Dimension’s development slate — including a Mark Wahlberg-led reboot of “The Six Billion Dollar Man,” Anne Fletcher’s “Murder Mystery” and a film based on the Furby toys — are falling apart, according to multiple individuals with knowledge of the deals.

In New York, where native son Harvey Weinstein is already under police investigation for his alleged serial harassment and abuse against women, Attorney General Eric Schneiderman announced Oct. 23 that he has opened his own investigation into Weinstein’s namesake former company. “No New Yorker should be forced to walk into a workplace ruled by sexual intimidation, harassment, or fear,” Schneiderman said in a statement. “If sexual harassment or discrimination is pervasive at a company, we want to know.” On Oct. 5, The New York Times reported that Weinstein had paid at least eight settlements to women who have accused him of everything from fostering an inappropriate workplace culture to rape. Over the next few days, The Weinstein Company hired lawyer John Kiernan to investigate, and fired its co-founder and co-chairman, who was said to be hampering Kiernan’s efforts. However, according to TMZ, the employment Weintsein signed in 2015 pledged to forgive...

Harvey Weinstein‘s “intense” and “volatile” relationship with his younger brother, Bob, often led to conflicts in the workplace, a source tells People.
“It was volatile, and as intense as any relationship between any two people could ever have,” says the source. “No two people can go at each other with such a level of poison and vitriol.”
Amid the dozens of sexual harassment and abuse allegations spanning three decades against Harvey, Bob has also been accused of sexual harassment — which he has denied.

When Harvey Weinstein was trying to lose weight and visited one of his sets, handlers advised the crew to remove certain foods from the craft service table. With a crew of well over 100 people, the solution wasn’t to provide an enticing, healthy alternative for the visiting boss, who had to be followed with cans of diet soda like a nurse with an oxygen tank. The solution was to eliminate any food that could be a possible temptation. The assumption was clear: Weinstein’s appetite was huge, his discipline nonexistent, and the entire company needed to cater to his shortcomings.
This isn’t meant to be a metaphor to explain the avalanche of sexual assault accusations against Weinstein. It is one of thousands of examples that show how an entire business was built around his failings as a human being. The traits that he forced his staff to account for...

Lena Headey has accused Harvey Weinstein of sexual harassment in a series of four tweets posted to her official Twitter page that detail an encounter with the former head of The Weinstein Company that left the “Game of Thrones” star in tears. Headey first met Weinstein at the Venice Film Festival where she was promoting Terry Gilliam’s “The Brothers Grimm.” Miramax was co-distributor of the movie that also starred Matt Damon and Heath Ledger.
“At one point Harvey asked me to take a walk down to the water, I walked down with him and he stopped and made some suggestive comment, a gesture, I just laughed it off, I was genuinely shocked,” Headey writes. “I remember thinking, ‘It’s got to be a joke.’ I said something like, ‘Oh come on mate?! It’d be like kissing my dad! Let’s go get a drink, get back to the others.

The news front on Spike TV's adaptation of Stephen King's The Mist has been relatively quiet in recent months, but that's now changed thanks to a new interview Lilja's Library conducted with Christian Torpe, the creator, executive producer, and showrunner of The Mist TV series, who discussed adapting King's novella, his respect for Frank Darabont's 2007 film, King's reaction to the pilot episode, and more.
Speaking with Lilja's Library, Torpe expressed his desire to do something different with his take on King's seminal novella, including not retreading Darabont's adaptation, which he greatly admires:
"It is not the same story as in the book and the movie, nor is it the same characters – but fans of the story will still see clear parallels... Some things are exactly the same, some are totally different. Some things you think are the same as in the original, but turn out to be something else entirely.
