The HBO’s Emmy-winning medieval fantasy series Game Of Thrones is the biggest ever hit so far with around 30 million viewers only in U.S and many more all around the word.
As it is being reported that the untitled prequel will be taking place thousands of years before the events of “Game of Thrones.” It was created by British screenwriter Jane Goldman with author George RR Martin, whose novel series “A Song of Ice and Fire” is the basis for the “Game of Thrones” television series.
The prequel will be based on the chronicle “the world’s descent from the Golden Age of Heroes into its darkest hour,” and provides a look at the secrets of the history of the warring families in the fictional kingdom of Westeros, the network has also announced.
It is also being reported that the HBO has considered five different scripts before settling on the approach for the prequel, according to Bloys, “The reason we did multiple scripts is out of five, we’d be lucky to get one we are very excited about. The remaining four scripts are either dead or still in the works”.
