The Dragon Demands Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Video from Variety. On the Emmys red carpet, GRRM speaks of "5 prequels" and that they range from "just 100 years ago" to "5,000 years ago". The question of course, is: was he just speaking loosely, and we shouldn't take this as factually accurate? We know some prequels got ruled out. 5,000 years ago was the rise of Valyria but that doesn't seem to be "a prequel" as such. Maybe he was just talking about prequel eras in general. Odd that he says 5 pitches - maybe he just got used to saying 5. We thought Cogman left after he signed on to Amazon - though it's possible someone else picked up his idea?

The hairy bear Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 I'm sure the "hundred years" are meant literally. The books start at 298. One hundred years ago would mean the Blackfyre Rebellion (196) or the adventures of Dunk and Egg (209). Both could make for excellent series, although radically different in scope between them.

The Blackfyre Rebellion would make for an excellent TV show. Also, be incredibly relevant to modern debates given how central a role Dorne plays.

I believe that GRRM on a number of occasions has specifically ruled out Dunc and Egg as a series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bard of Banefort Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 I'm pretty sure 5,000 years ago is The Long Night, seeing as he's been talking lately about how no one really knows how long ago it was. 100 years ago was probably a loose reference to the Blackfyre Rebellion.

Euron III Greyjoy Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 My best bet would be the Blackfyre Rebellion. Out of all the possible prequels, I would've loved either the Blackfyre Rebellions, the Andal Invasion, or the Dance of the Dragons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
