The American film studio Warner Bros. has started working on a motion picture based on George R.R. Martin’s renowned fantasy series, Game of Thrones. Currently, the project is in the early stages of development and has neither a director, screenwriters, nor a confirmed cast. However, the company aims to release the upcoming film in theaters.

Initially, the original showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss had planned to release three feature-length films instead of the final season in 2019, with the support of author George R.R. Martin. However, HBO opposed this idea, as it sought to preserve the Game of Thrones status as a series. With changes in leadership, however, the franchise now has a chance at a film adaptation. Additionally, studios today often create films and series within a shared universe.

It is worth noting that in 2022, the successful prequel series House of the Dragon was launched, and another prequel titled A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is planned for release next year. Meanwhile, ideas for storylines that would take place after the events of the original series are also under consideration.

The media company HBO decided to sell off props from its legendary series Game of Thrones and put more than 900 items from the show’s filming up for auction at Heritage in Dallas.

The biggest and most expensive item of the auction was the Iron Throne, which turned out to be made of plastic, coated with metallic paint, and adorned with stones. It sold for nearly $1.5 million, according to CNN.

Along with the throne, other iconic items from the series were also auctioned off, including knight armor, swords, costumes, and character jewelry.

For example, Jon Snow’s sword sold for $400,000, while his Night’s Watch costume fetched $337,500.

Daenerys wasn’t overlooked either — her gray suede costume was sold for $112,500. Additionally, Cersei’s red velvet gown went for $137,500.

In total, the Game of Thrones auction brought in just over $21 million, with more than 4,000 potential buyers competing for the lots.
