He refuses to finish The Game of Thrones books

Game of Thrones creator George R.R. Martin is joining up with Lion Forge Entertainment to produce a new animated movie about the fabled 12 labors of Hercules (or Heracles, as the mythic hero is known in his native Greece), as reported by THR. The film will be co-produced by Lion Forge Entertainment CEO and founder David Steward II, and Lion Forge president and chief creative officer Stephanie Sperber.

Titled 'A Dozen Tough Jobs', the film is an adaptation of the 1989 novel of the same name by writer Howard Waldrop, which takes the 12 impossible tasks assigned to Hercules by the mythical King Eurystheus, which involve everything from slaying the Hydra, to cleaning the dirtiest stables in the world, and transports the story to Mississippi in the '20s, with Hercules portrayed as a sharecropper fighting against bigotry.

The script will be written by Joe R. Lansdale of Bubba Ho-Tep fame, while Emmy-winning French animation studio Blue Spirit of Blue-Eyed Samurai fame will provide the visuals.

"If anyone understands the power of epic stories and expansive franchises, it's George R.R. Martin,” says David Steward II in a statement.

"With A Dozen Tough Jobs, we're reimagining a timeless legend through fresh, culturally rich lenses. This isn't just a retelling - it's a groundbreaking take, unlike anything audiences have seen before, grounded in history but pushing myth into uncharted territory."

No projected release date for A Dozen Tough Jobs has been announced.

I’m more looking forward to his death than the next book. And I hope it’s painful like cancer and not a heart attack

so what if he refuses to write some book. this is not book board.

Why would he finish something when his audience have already proven that they'll intensely dislike his ending? Better to drag it out forever and pretend the showrunners ruined it.

Personally, I think anyone who has ever liked this guy is a retarded faggot. I couldn't get 1 chapter into asoiaf, it was so atrociously written. I've read low quality translations of foreign books that had better prose.

I don’t even care about winds anymore. I just want him to finish the dunk and egg books before he dies.

people should just tell this faggot to finish his books in public. a tv promotion? finish the books george. A themed wine tasting? finish the books you decrepit fuck. don't let this fat fuck enjoy any fame for a book series he never intended to finish

This sounds better anyway. ASOIAF will be shit if he tries to finish it and he knows it. He should just get a ghostwriter already.

This so fucking hard

he's waiting for me to start reading his books

he wrote himself into too many retarded corners and doesn't know how to resolve it all and bring the threads back together, and there's no point trying because the TV show ending is what he intends and nobody liked it anyway.

the TV show ruined it for him. lol

He should just feed whatever drafts he has to ChatGPT and let AI fill in the blanks

as soon as he became rich and famous, writing was no longer necessary to fulfill his true passion in life of eating.

French animation studio Blue Spirit of Blue-Eyed Samurai fame will provide the visuals

This show was shit. The story sucked and the CGI sucked.

Why would he finish something when his audience have already proven that they'll intensely dislike his ending?

Because one doesn't informs the other. You don't have to go further than Euron Greyjoy. In the book he cuts through the story through an ominous narrative, then totally jumps to eldritch horror with The Forsaken, which is fucking incredible. What you just said is something that keeps getting repeated here, but has no basis in the differences between the book and the show.

12 labors of Hercules

oh cool

reimagined as the struggles of a nigger in America

nevermind

Based

He has obviously finished them and just understands he isn't a good enough writer not to have people disappointed, and the show already gave him an uphill battle in that regard; he probably figures he will have a better legacy if his opus was never really finished

which takes the 12 impossible tasks assigned to Hercules by the mythical King Eurystheus, which involve everything from slaying the Hydra, to cleaning the dirtiest stables in the world, and transports the story to Mississippi in the '20s, with Hercules portrayed as a sharecropper fighting against bigotry.

So no myth. Just racism and poverty? Fun.

He has obviously finished them

Cope lmao.

His ending was the HBO show, everybody hated it, he blames everybody but himself. Hes never going to finish it, he'd rather die a washed up has been. He realizes he will never reach what Tolkien reached.

What the fuck are you talking about you retard, fat fuck never wrote anything “eldritch” you fucking idiots on your asoiaf forums just come up with your own lore and theories and try to play it off like he’s some amazing author.

I used to cope that George's ending was different but after so long it must be. It's also in line with subverting tropes, nothing more cliche than a secret prince coming to save the world and I suspect he was gonna tear that trope down

Have you read The Forsaken? It's hard not to take your juvenile reply as a no.

I'll be fair anon, the idea might be better in the book. The show just kinda rushed it.

This should be a crime. Deport this nigger, Trump.

A secret prince who renounces his blood and decides to follow the path of his adopted father, saving the world by breaking a truce with the otherworldly elvish warriors maybe by offering his own blood as sacrifice to save their dwindling numbers/hivemind. I'd say that's novel enough.

This. Someone that allows themself to get that fat clearly has no shame; it is self-evident thst the opinions of others don't influence him. He just wanted to be rich so he could play with his bubble machine and mindlessly consume comestibles.

Think about it like this:
If you were working on a new type of diaper to be successful, and you won the lottery, would you keep working on the diaper?
Or would you go to Vegas or Amsterdam (or wherever normalshits go to be unhinged) and do whatever the fuck you want?
Look at Martin's books. His novels take the time to show you that respect and honor are "silly doo-doo head" things.

Why would someone like thst care about anything?
Normalshits really should die out.

Oh boy a single chapter from the 12 year now unreleased book? WOWEE ZOWEE OH SO GOOD shut the fuck up retard go back to westeros.org

If i propose to ghostwrite GoT books for him, would he fall for it and authorize it?

People are always like "Uh, I am SO done! Like, I dun even care anymoooore" and then bitch whenever a "no it's not done yet" update comes out. You obviously still do care you lying faggots. The faster you accept that the book will never be finished, the better

transports the story to Mississippi in the '20s

Oh boy

Here, I asked F in the ChatGPT to write the big climax for you:

Smoke rose in black, roiling plumes that blotted out the sun, casting the city beneath into a twilight of fire. The bells rang, shrill and ceaseless, echoing across the red-tiled roofs and shattered towers, a desperate cry for mercy from throats that had none left to plead.

She heard them—Daenerys Stormborn, of House Targaryen, the blood of old Valyria, Mother of Dragons—perched astride the great beast Drogon, her silver-gold braid whipping in the searing wind. They had surrendered. The city was hers. The Iron Throne lay within reach, a final step down a road steeped in blood.

And still, she burned.

It was not madness that guided her hand but memory. Of slavers who had nailed children to signposts, of khals who laughed as their captives screamed, of men who had clapped and cheered as her brother's crown of molten gold hissed upon his skull. Of the whispered words of a queen long dead—“Burn them all.”

Drogon screamed, a sound of wrath and ruin, and the fire poured forth in a torrent, golden-red, a tide of death. Stone melted like wax. Shadows danced like demons through the choking smoke. The Red Keep, bastion of the false kings who had stolen her birthright, stood proud upon Aegon’s Hill. She saw it through the haze and veered toward it, a hunter stooping for the kill.

Below, the streets writhed with the panicked, the crushed, the burning. Mothers clutched blackened babes. Gold cloaks threw down arms and fled. And the Queen flew on.

She had given them a chance.

She would give them a queen to fear.

He has obviously finished them

This cope will never fail to make me laugh

No.
He doesn't want to publish the next book because he's deftly scared it will ruin his "legacy". He wants someone else to deal with his mess after he's dead so that they get the blame for the ending feeling rushed and stupid.

What a bummer. But what if i ask him that i write another book series playing in the GoT universe?

he doesnt know how to finish them, its pretty obvious and has been for years

Guess what? He doesnt have to. He owes you nothing, deal with it.

"If anyone understands the power of epic stories and expansive franchises, it's George R.R. Martin,” says David Steward II in a statement.

Yeah, I don't think this is true. Guy can't even finish the story everyone knows him for.

FINISH THE FUCKING FARTS OF WINTER ALREADY YOU FAT FAGGOT

I don't doubt it was his ending but if his writing style is to go

I'll write this

hmm this is kind of retarded or should go a different way, let me change it or go in this direction instead

Then just handing D&D some plot notes to follow isn't going to cut it.

Grrm should be made humanities collective bitch until he finishes the books

12 labors of Hercules (or Heracles, as the mythic hero is known in his native Greece)

I have never understood angloid obsession with calling by the Roman name. If you are going to do that, why not use Roman names of all gods? So, Jupiter instead of Zeus.
Greece should lobby hard for Hercules to be offensive, similarly to how Ukrainians were able to convince the Western world that calling Kyiv "Kiev" was offensive.

euros is a completely different character

Aegon doesnt exist

marwyn doesnt exist

victarion doesnt exist

it'll be quite different

But I thought woke was dead?

The core (important) cast's ending from the show will probably be the same in the books. Bran becomes king, Dany goes mad & dies, and Jon goes into exile

He’s old and doesn’t want to sit at a desk anymore for the few remaining years of his life. I totally get it.

Why would say something like this?! What’s wrong with you anon?!

They will all die and the ending will be the exact same

The first book is notably less well written than later entries. A Game of Thrones has some atrocious writing, and feels super anachronistic in tone.
It’s not to say you’ll enjoy the series anyway, because the plot does grind to a halt after the third entry, but if it was just the prose, skip onto the second book, especially if you’ve watched season 1 of the tv series.

Nah, he’s probably sick of entitled fans constantly whining about finishing the series like he owes them a thing. He’s writing we wuz herculees and sheeeit as yet another middle finger to fans who can do nothing but seethe and cope.

He’s going to pop his clogs and livestream him burning all his manuscripts as a final fuck you to fans and the meltdown will be glorious.

I take it you've written something better. Post some samples of your writing.

I wish he world just admit that he doesn't want to finish the series anymore. I can't even imagine how someone could be such a tremendous pussy faggot.

That fucker is such a coward.
