Game of Thrones creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss will soon appear on The Writer’s Room, and a preview clip from the lengthy interview has been released online.
Winter is Coming has revealed this two-minute long clip from what will be a 30-minute long interview with the Game of Thrones showrunners on The Writer’s Room.
This series presents interviews with showrunners of hit TV series, and Benioff and Weiss’s episode will air Monday night.
In this preview clip, the Game of Thrones creators discuss how they first approached A Song of Ice and Fire author George R.R. Martin with the idea to adapt his novels for television:
Notably, Benioff talks about the important conversation with Martin in which they made it clear that his novels would never be able to work as feature films like The Lord of the Rings, and would have to be adapted for television.
The full episode of The Writer’s Room featuring Weiss and Benioff airs Monday night at 10pm on The Sundance Channel.
In the interview we’ll hear about how they worked to adapt Game of Thrones season 1, as well as how they work to balance out the prominent themes of sex and violence, and much more.
Game of Thrones season 4 premieres in the spring of 2014. It’ll roughly span the second half of the third book in the Ice and Fire saga, A Storm of Swords.
Thanks, Winter is Coming!
