[The Franchise]

There will be a movie.

According to The Daily Star, writer of the GoT novels George R.R. Martin had the following to say:

"There will be a movie but I will not be involved. I have too much to do. That is something HBO and the DB and David are dealing with. I have two more books to finish and I still have so much to do. The pressure is on. I am such a slow writer and the fans get upset that I don’t write faster.”

Well, HOT DAMN! That's exciting! Granted, it will probably be a while before the series concludes and we see a movie, but it also means we might be able to see our favorite characters (...return even...) come into play, with another quote from The Daily Star:

"They are looking at dipping back in time during certain periods of the series, which could be examined as a one off plot. That means that some of the big characters who fans have seen die on screen could be resurrected such as Robb Stark, Catelyn Stark, Oberyn Martell The Red Viper – and Ned Stark."
