I made a not bad pilot , I think . I had a fantastic script by Jane Goldman and I remember we did a pretty good job , and Naomi Watts is sublime . I think she ’s such a wondrous actor .
You ’d have to talk to HBO about the rest of it . I know I did my business and pitch it .
Why House Of The Dragon Became The First Game Of Thrones Spinoff Series Instead Of Bloodmoon
The firstGame of Thronesspinoff serial needed to find distinguishable while feature enough conversant constituent from the original show . Infighting and backstabbing for the Iron Throne , Targaryens riding flying dragon , and thelooming threat of the White Walkersare all familiar component inHouse of the Dragon . Bloodmoonseemingly would ’ve lack such familiarity as it predates the Iron Throne and even the Targaryens and their dragon arriving in Westeros . Even former chairman of WarnerMedia Robert Greenblatt stated that the cancelled series was not " horrible " but simply that it lacked the " depth and prolificacy that the original series ’ pilot did . ”
Game of Thrones end , but audiences come back to Westeros for House of the Dragon - and HBO has even more Game of Thrones spinoffs in growth .
Without these ingredient and taking position thousands of years beforeGame of Thrones , Bloodmoonmay have felt too far bump off from the original series . do less than two hundred yr before the parturition of Daenerys Targaryen , the timeline forHouse of the Dragonis closer in proximity and can draw more of a direct line from the Targaryen ancestors to Daenerys ' story . It also help thatHouse of the Dragonhad source cloth thanks toFire & Blood , whereasBloodmoonwas wholly original .
