Once upon a time, when Game of Thrones was still new, it was reported that a movie based on another one of “A Song of Ice and Fire” author George R.R. Martin‘s works, Wild Cards, was in the works through Syfy Films, the joint venture of Syfy and Universal Pictures. But the years past and nothing came of it.

Wild Cards is a massive alternate history superhero shared universe, consisting of standalone novels, anthologies, comics, games, and more, from Martin, Melinda Snodgrass, and many others. So trying to find a single movie in all of that was an understandably tricky task. Now Martin has announced that a new attempt at adapting the property is in the works, this time as a TV series.

Walking Dead comic book creator Robert Kirkman will be developing Roger Zelazny‘s epic scifi-fantasy saga Chronicles Of Amber for television.

Kirkman will be adapting Zelazny’s 10-book series with his Skybound Entertainment banner partner Dave Alpert, as well as Vincent Newman Entertainment (We’re the Millers), in what THR reports could be TV’s next Game of Thrones. GoT author George R.R. Martin has often credited Zelazny as one of his biggest inspirations.

Is it just me, or has this felt like the longest year waiting for a new season of Game of Thrones yet? It’s safe to assume that the same thing will be said next year around this time.

We’ve seen plenty of teases for season six of the HBO fantasy drama, but thankfully the full trailer has just been released and it’s filled will all sorts of things that are sure to send your emotions scurrying off in many different directions like cockroaches at the flick of a light.

I shan’t waste any more of your time. Click on over to the other side now to check out the trailer for Game of Thrones season six!

Dunk was a squire turned knight 100 years before the events in A Game of Thrones. He had just buried his hedge knight before striking out to seek his fortune (or at least a steady roof and meal). He encounters Egg, a weird little bald boy who pushes to become his squire. After naming himself Ser Duncan the Tall (rumored to be related to Brienne of Tarth), they head to a tourney at Ashford Castle, where Dunk has one shot to win or lose his armor, thus ending his short, knightly career. The tourney has competitions between such names as Targaryen, Tully, Lannister, and Baratheon. How could he possibly compete? To top off everything, he gets himself in serious hot water for being chivalrous, plus Egg has a giant secret. And that is just the beginning of A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms by George R.R. Martin.
