scortius the charioteer Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 I cant see how this is even filmable. In more ways than one. Not that I wouldn't be interested, just curious how this would be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jurble Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 How would you get Kellhus' internal dialogues onto screen? They're a necessity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Ent Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Sure it’s filmable; the surface plot is pretty mainstream epic fantasy. Use the visual tropes from Sherlock for Kellhus. (In fact, make Cumberbatch play Kellhus. Win.) On TV (without the inner monologue) the whole thing would be much more appealing. (For the record, I love the inner monologue.)

Happy Ent Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 … but I suggest you edit the thread title. Lots of TV rights are sold. That doesn’t mean it’ll ever appear on TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry of the Lawn Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 It should be animated Eta:. Also got my hopes up with the title, but, yes, would be very cool to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jurble Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Some Hollywood producers, like the guys from American Pie or something else strangely lowbrow, were trying to shop the rights around few years back, seems like someone is finally looking to buy. I wonder who though. HBO is probably looking for another big tent-pole series now that GoT is ending, but I can't imagine them buying PoN. I can see Starz or Showtime, though.

matt b Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Honestly, I have a hard time seeing anybody, short of maybe Brazzers, actually taking a shot at it. As much as I love the series, this is one I'd definitely rather just read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhom Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 I doubt HBO will go with another medieval drama after GoT ends. That would be like them going with another mob show after Sopranos ended. They'll give it a few years before they do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lokisnow Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Sounds like just an option is all. For the moment, if the option results in a script thats the next step, of the script is developed as a pilot that's the step after that, then you'd see a series order. If it were me I'd be shopping it to Amazon and Netflix, they want the next game of thrones more than HBO does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Seswatha Jordan Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 So do I think this will actually happen? No. But man I would love to see all the haters howling at the gates if it did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just need to remember the secret of cable. Indomitable ratings, unconquerable TV. I think it would be fine animated, or better yet, wait until we have something like Morgan's experia flicks, kind of like the cubes in Stover's Caine or Matrix style VR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
all swedes are racist Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Maybe the film could be nothing but the book text presented as silent-era intertitle cards, with a nice ragtime score Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
