Warner Bros. Developing Game of Thrones Film on Aegon the Conqueror

The project’s future remains uncertain during Paramount Skydance’s pending acquisition of Warner Bros.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets report that Beau Willimon is attached and has delivered a first draft of the screenplay.
  • Reporting indicates the story would follow Aegon I Targaryen’s conquest of Westeros, set centuries before the original TV series.
  • No director or cast have been announced, and the feature remains in early development at Warner Bros. Pictures.
  • Coverage describes the movie as a large-scale theatrical epic, with comparisons to the scope of the Dune films.
  • The film’s prospects could shift under new management and regulatory review, as Paramount’s David Ellison has pledged a robust theatrical slate of roughly 30 films annually across studios with defined cinema windows.
