Warner Bros. is developing a "Dune-sized" prequel film to Game of Thrones, based on Aegon Targaryen's conquest of Westeros, with Beau Willimon writing the script. This project is separate from HBO's own TV series inspired by the same historical event. The announcement comes amidst other Game of Thrones expansions, including the successful A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms series, a stage show, and the upcoming third season of House of the Dragon. However, a previously planned Jon Snow spinoff series has been cancelled due to creative differences. The film's development also coincides with Paramount Skydance's acquisition of Warner Bros., a deal facing scrutiny for potential antitrust issues.
