George RR Martin signs for new HBO series -
Geeko
The enormous success of
Game of Thrones
on the American channel HBO has apparently convinced the author to continue his collaboration with the American channel.
George RR Martin has indeed signed up as executive producer for a new television series based on the novel by Roger Zelanzy
Roadmarks
.
George RR Martin, however, would not have made any commitment as an author.
The serial adaptation will be primarily the work of Kalinda Vazquez, who previously worked on
The Walking Dead
and
Star Trek: Discovery
.
Overloaded agenda
The news will not necessarily delight
Game of Thrones
fans
who have been eagerly awaiting the release of the new tome for years.
George RR Martin has indeed taken the very bad habit of overloading his agenda.
A new delay would therefore not be ruled out, especially since George RR Martin had already indicated that he would be involved in the production of the new Game of Thrones spin-off series, The House of the Dragon.
"If things go well, I might even be able to take care of the script for a few episodes," the author said a few weeks ago.
George RR Martin won't be the only
Game of Thrones
veteran
embarked on the
Roadmarks
adaptation
project
.
Game of Thrones
executive producer
Vince Gerardis also joined the project.
Time travel
Published in 1979,
Roadmarks
has established itself as a science fiction classic.
The book tells the story of several protagonists who discover a route that allows them to travel through time to discover certain secrets of the world, change their lives or modify certain parts of history.
George RR Martin was a close friend of the author, who died in 1995. “Roger was a friend, a mentor, and one of the greatest science fiction writers.
That's why I'm so excited to adapt
Roadmarks
for HBO, ”the author said in an interview.
