Is there a 'Game of Thrones' curse?
As if they fell under a curse from the red witch Melisandre, two major Hollywood tentpole projects have turned to dust in recent days, as “Game of Thrones” showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss pulled out of a new “Star Wars” movie trilogy and HBO reportedly declined to pick up a “Game of Thrones” spinoff series.
Then on Tuesday, Deadline reported that AT&T’s T, -1.12% HBO will not pick up a prequel “Game of Thrones” series from writer Jane Goldman and starring Naomi Watts. The series was to have focused on events thousands of years before “Game of Thrones,” and had been given the green light in 2018. A pilot for the series had been shot, but reportedly needed extensive post-production work.
“There are only so many hours in the day, and we felt we could not do justice to both ‘Star Wars’ and our Netflix projects,” they said in a statement. “So we are regretfully stepping away.”
