After success House of the DragonHBO continues to explore the possibility of creating other spin-offs Game of Thrones – in addition to those already confirmed -. However, a completely unexpected turn happened to one of them. According to George R.R. Martin, creator of the Westeros universe, 9 tripsadventure production Lord Corlys Velaryon (Sea snake), intends to try his luck in the field of animation.
Originally the original plan was that 9 trips there was a series live action. Why such a sudden change? The American office did not hide that this was a decision This is due to the problem of resources.. At least with this series, it feels like HBO put a restriction on them that wasn’t enough to continue content with real actors.
Martin admits that adapt a story about 9 trips to format live action it would be enough expensive for two reasons. Firstly, most of the story takes place in the ocean. In addition, it would be necessary to create several seaports. Therefore, it was difficult to think that they could create a high-quality series on a limited budget.
“We moved 9 tripsour series about the legendary journeys of the Sea Serpent, live action to animation. This is a movement that I fully support. Budgetary constraints would probably make a version live action was ridiculously expensive: half the series took place at sea, and a new port had to be created every week. From Driftmark to Lys, Basilisk Islands, Volantis or Qarth.

Thus, the perpetrators had two options: cancel the new allocation Game of Thrones or turn it into an animated series. If they chose the latter, it’s because Martin thinks audiences will find it very interesting. 9 trips.
It’s interesting that animation has become a kind of lifeline when the wallet is not enough. This wouldn’t be the first time this has happened to major franchises. In fact, Amazon Prime Video has resorted to the same strategy with Rohirrim Waranime owned Lord of the Rings. It is clear that the majority of its budget will continue to be allocated to Rings of Power…
“There’s a whole world out there. And we have a much better chance of showing it all through animation,” Martin added. An interesting fact is that, in addition to 9 tripsthere are two more animated series Game of Thrones it may come true. And we say “maybe” because HBO hasn’t allowed any of the three yet.
In connection with the above, it is too early to talk about a possible release date. We cannot even guarantee that all three productions will see the light of day. We’ve seen in the past that HBO executives have received several offers related to Game of Thronesbut only some are allowed to move forward.
“Will any of them come true? Will they come true? It’s impossible to know. There is nothing certain in Hollywood,” the writer concluded.
