The Game of Thrones universe is finally coming to theater screens as reports confirmed that a film based in the epic fantasy dragon realm is officially in development with Warner Bros.
Page Six confirmed that Beau Willimon is set to helm the script for Warner Bros. The playwright, producer, and screenwriter is best known for developing the American TV series adaptation of House of Cards (2013-2018) and his work as a writer on the Disney+ series Andor (2022-2025). His other writing credits include The Ideas (2011), based on his 2008 play Farragut North; Mary Queen of Scots (2018); and his 2013 play The Parisian Woman. Willimon is currently an executive producer for the audacious Apple TV+ series Severance (2022-).
The news of a Game of Thrones film was first teased in a The Hollywood Reporter interview with Game of Thrones author George R.R. Martin, in which interviewer James Hibberd wrote that the Warner Bros. film team is developing “mammoth Dune-sized feature film” that is based on “King Aegon Targaryen’s conquest of Westeros.” Though this news is thrilling for Game of Thrones fans to see their universe come to life on the big screen, everything is still up in the air for Warner Bros., which is expected to be sold to Paramount. For now, Game of Thrones fans will be kept busy with HBO’s two GOT series: A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, which premiered this January and has already been renewed for second season, and House of the Dragon, whose third season is set to premiere in June 2026.
No directors or actors are attached to the project yet.
