Dragonstoned Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 'Very fast' means for the next book we have to wait less than 6 years.edit: also is that the guy who plays all those brothers in Arrested Development with him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

protar Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 I do hope when he says he's writing very fast for TWOW he actually means it :PIs 2014 on the cards even? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isiman Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 GRRM says DnD may not necessarily end the show the same as the books He is refering about some specific characters like Mago, who is dead in the show but alive in the books, not the overall story.

King of the Road Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 I do hope when he says he's writing very fast for TWOW he actually means it :PIs 2014 on the cards even?Didn't he say to some Chilean journalist that he was hopeful to get it out next year? Or did I just have the most bizarre dream ever? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or did I just have the most bizarre dream ever?I don't recall the nationality of any journalists involved but I'm pretty sure that he's put 2014 as an optimistic release date. I find it hard to believe that after two consequitive deadline disasters he hasn't learned his lesson so I don't think he'll have said that if he didn't sincerely believe it was a possibility.

Werthead Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 He's previously said that 2014 was possible, but that was a year ago and since then he's also said he's lost time due to other projects. I think 2014 is very achievable for completion, but publication will likely be 2015. The good news is that he's extremely positive and upbeat about it, which is highly encouraging.

Mr Fixit Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Well, truth be told, I'm not too worried about Winds of Winter. Even if it doesn't come out in time, Martin will still have finished a major portion of the book, probably giving it to D&D for reference. So no worries there.The real problem comes with ADoS. Will he have at least something definitive ready by the time the respective season comes along? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will GRRM be able to get it published before the Show spoils the Book?I think at worst the books will be a few months after the show. However a 2017/18 release date is plausible for ADOS and if the show runs for 8 seasons the finale will be in 2018. And I think that ADOS will be quicker to write than the other books as the plot speeds towards the finale. TWOW will be the major hurdle I feel in regards to keeping up with the show. If he can get over that imo by 2015 everything will work fine.I echo Wert's sentiments: He sounds enthusiastic about it which is indicative of how he's doing. If he hadn't made much progress it would be all "Errr...well I'm working on it but I have other projects...and ah...the devil's in the details y'know" etc. etc. But he sounds confident.

The show might be just only 7 seasons, maybe there is a reason to be optmistic if we consider that the final act/resolution to a story are usally easier to write; but I think that it's likely ADOS will not be published in time.

Ferrum Aeternum Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 I predicted TWOW in 4th quarter of 2014 a long time ago and I've stuck by it. GRRM's apparent enthusiasm on the show last night makes me feel a lot better about that prediction. I wonder if Conan's actually a fan, or if he's just trying to be nice.He frequently talks the show up on his Twitter feed, so I don't think he's just paying lip service. GRRM was great, and the "Council of Nerds" bit (inducting GoT into the inner circle of nerddom) was funny too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wish I could remember where I read it because without a citation it just looks absurd. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padraig Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 He might be certain that 2014 is a possibility but that's not really saying anything. :) (And as Wert suggested, 2014 seems very challenging given we are talking about release dates, not GRRM's completion date).If you are ever unsure whether GRRM has given us a release date, I can guarantee you he hasn't. When he gives an actual release date, we'll all be certain of it. :PAnd O'Brien has certainly mentioned GoT enough times. So if he isn't a fan, he must know somebody on his staff that is a big fan! I imagine he is a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckal Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 0:56I think it might be Osha It'sShae"I was at the premiere talking to 3 of the actors and I suddenly realized they were all dead... Another actress said to me 'Please please don't kill me, I love working on the show!' ...She's dead too." :lol:I'll just copy/paste my comment from this thread: http://asoiaf.wester...spoil-spoilers/ There were other actresses at the premier including the actress who plays Ygritte, Rose Leslie, but she has read at least until book 4 so she knows she dies next season. Oona Chaplin (Talisa) and Michelle Fairley (Catelyn) were there but they had already filmed their death scenes.In addition to Lena Headey (Cersei), there were Sophie Turner (Sansa), Gwendoline Christie (Brienne), Emilia Clark (Daenerys), Natalia Tena (Osha), Maisia Williams (Arya), Natalie Dormer (Margaery), Nathalie Emmanuel (Missandei), Sibel Kekilli (Shae), and Carice van Houten (Melisandre).So it is possible that any of the above could be the individual/character that GRRM was talking about tonight.

WillWork4NinjaPowers Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 I assumed he was talking about Shae.I wonder who the male actors were. He talked about that in KC as well. I assumed the male actors could have been Charles Dance and Jack Gleeson? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
