Speaking to with Daily Star (via Pajiba), Game of Thrones author George R.R. Martin (GRRM) stated that there's a movie in the works but he will not be inovlved with it. Said Martin, "There will be a movie but I will not be involved. I have too much to do. That is something HBO and DB and David are dealing with. I have two more books to finish and I still have so much to do."
What's even more interesting is that Martin stated that the movie will feature extensive flashblacks and focus on parts of the book that the show omitted. In theory, this opens the door for the return of fan-favorite characters that have been killed off. "They are looking at dipping back in time during certain periods of the series, which could be examined as a one off plot. That means that some of the big characters who fans have seen die on screen could be resurrected."
GRRM has taken to his official blog to refute this news but it's interesting that he says that a movie is not in the works as opposed to saying that he never made the above statements. Perhaps the folks at HBO, made a phone call to GRRM to voice their displeasure over the leak?
