Game of Thrones will be returning to HBO on April 12th for it's fifth season but fans continue to ask the creator of Thrones about the possibility of a feature film adaptation. Creator, George R. R. Martin took to his blog to address these rumors and answer fan questions last night.
Martin explained in his posting that he loved the idea of a Game of Thrones movie, especially after the success the show had being viewed in IMAX. "“Sure, I love the idea. Why not? What fantasist would not love the idea of going out with an epic hundred million feature film?” Martin went on to say, "And the recent success of the IMAX experience shows that the audience is there for such a movie. If we build it, they will come. But will we build it? I have no bloody idea.”
IMAX showed the last two episodes of season five in a limited release, the showings made over $1.5 million at the box office Deadline added.
The Wrap reported that HBO is hoping that the epic drama will continue for many additional seasons. Currently, the show is only renewed for season six, Martin explained. "Right now, ‘Game of Thrones’ is guaranteed only six seasons. That’s all HBO has officially committed to, by contract,” wrote Martin.
