George R.R. Martin teases ‘Game of Thrones’ prequel

After HBO’s Game of Thrones won its second consecutive Emmy for Outstanding Drama Series, the cast and crew headed backstage to discuss their win. One of the various questions asked was if there was a possibility of a Game of Thrones prequel, to which George R.R. Martin‘s response was:

“Well I do have thousands of pages of fake history of everything that led up to Game of Thrones, so there’s a wealth of material there and I’m still writing more. At the moment we still have the show to finish and I still have two books to finish, so that’s all speculation.”

Don’t fret people of Westeros, it’s highly likely that a prequel will be in the works not long after Game of Thrones finishes. Why? Well it’s quite the money-maker for HBO. The show alone has broken multiple records. Some of these records include the most pirated show on television, largest TV drama simulcast, and most-viewed HBO show. Not to mention that GoT has won 38 Emmy Awards, that’s more than any other television series. In total the show has won 194 awards to date. I’d say the prequel definitely has a shot.

So what are your thoughts about the prequel? Would you rather the world of Game of Thrones fade away as one of the greats? Or, are you hopeful to glimpse a prequel with perhaps the Mad King’s demise? Comment below or tweet me @SohoDoll. And as always, “The North Remembers.”

Become No-One At The San Diego Comic Con!

The seemingly endless Hall of Faces in the House of Black and White is home to uncounted towers full of faces of the Dead.  Every person who ever died in Westeros and Essos seems to lose their face to those towers. HBO will be setting up the Hall of Faces at 628 L Street for the complete Game of Thrones fan experience. Entry will be first come, first served with a valid 2016 San Diego Comic Con badge.  The Hall of Faces will be open for business Thursday through Saturday, July 21 -23, 11:00 am to 5:00 pm and Sunday July 24th from 10:30 am – 2:00 pm.

The way this experience works is that when you enter The House of Black and White, the first thing that will happen is that your picture will be taken.  Through the use of digital magic and custom apps, that portrait will then be displayed on one of the towers.   To cap it off, the Lord of Light may grant you visions in The Red Woman‘s flames, or you can discover for yourself how comfortable a throne made of swords actually is.  Needle will also be in attendance!
