Talking Thrones | Game of Thrones Prequel Series: Cancelled - HBO's 30 Million Dollar Mistake! (What Really Happened?) @TalkingThrones | Uploaded December 2021 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Welcome back for another Game of Thrones and A Song of Ice and Fire video. In this video, I will be discussing HBO's cancelled Game of Thrones Prequel Series, formerly known as, The Long Night, or Bloodmoon. In James Andrew Miller's new book, Tinderbox: HBO's Ruthless Pursuit of New Frontiers, we find out HBO spent over 30 million dollars on the failed pilot episode for their Long Night Game of Thrones Prequel Series. According to Bob Greenblatt, he said, "the series did not deliver on the promise of Game of Thrones." What that actually means is up for interpretation... In this video, I give my thoughts on the failed series, as well as the amount of money HBO spent on its pilot episode. Let me know what you think down below. Thanks for watching!
