Game of Thrones is big again. With the success of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, it seems like there can’t be too many Aegons in this basket: Season 2 of Knight is already in production, more House of the Dragon is on the way, the Royal Shakespeare Comapny has a stage play about Robert’s Rebellion in the works, Corlys Verlaryon’s adventures will be brought to life through animation, and an old Jon Snow spinoff is being retooled to focus on Arya. On top of all that, a new movie is being written by a TV veteran, although it may have a curious overlap with a project already in development.
According to Page Six Hollywood, Andor writer and House of Cards showrunner Beau Willimon has submitted a draft for a theatrical Game of Thrones film. Details are scarce, but apparently the story will focus on Aegon’s Conquest, the journey of King Aegon Targaryen I and his two sister-wives, Visenya and Rhaenys, as they conquer and unite the seven kingdoms into the realm we see in Game of Thrones. This would be quite far back in the timeline, about 300 years before Daenerys went on her own campaign.
