Westeros Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 It’s that time of year again, when the intrepid James Hibberd provides us all the scoops that his deep access to the show (this time featuring some ten days worth of set visits and interviews in multiple locations) can provide. This week’s issue—available on newstands, and soon available for digital download—features an enormous thirty pages worth of coverage, and EW and Hibberd have been kind enough to give a few samples.Of particular note is today’s release of ruminations on just when the show ends, in which it’s made clear that seven years may well be on the table… but so might eight years, or nine years, or even ten, if HBO could have its way. And Hibberd suggests the possibility that seems the likeliest, at this juncture the eight-seasons-in-all-but-name option:“Perhaps the most likely outcome for the end of Thrones is having an extended, split-run seventh and final season â where more episodes are ordered than Thronesâ usual 10, but half air one year and half air the next. This would get HBO another âseasonâ without having to renegotiate with the cast since all the episodes are technically part of the seventh round theyâre already optioned for. AMC employed this strategy with the final seasons of Breaking Bad and Mad Men, but HBO used this technique first with the sixth and final season of The Sopranos, which consisted of 21 episodes instead of the usual 13. Additionally distributing the final two hours beyond HBO with some sort of theatrical run for fans who want to see it in the theater wouldnât be surprising, either. “That sounds about right. Read the rest, it’s worth it, and dig around for some of the other new, exclusive coverage, such as these video interview gems and some exclusive first looksVisit the Site!

boojam Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I wonder if this 8 stuff comes from Time-Warner? Of mention of a film? It presents the odd circumstance that as things seem to be going a whole bunch of story had been condensed from Feast and Dance that , if there is continuation past 7, there may not be enough (crazy as it sounds!!!) characters and not enough big events! I can see if the Big Ragnarök with The Others is Big enough that it would lend itself to the IMAX screen better. I wonder if this has been on George's mind lately? It may all depend on this new HBO streaming deal, if that thing goes Able Sugar and gets say 100 million viewers (probably not) Time-Warner may say WOAH! If not it maybe just 7.

boojam Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 One thing I would say to Lombardo as a subscriber, NO, I would not feel betrayed if the story ended in a 200 million dollar film. If it's a good as the TV series has been I would go see it more than once! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boojam Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 One notes that for that split last season of The Sopranos James Gandolfini demanded and got a big salary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
