'Game Of Thrones' Spin Off Movie Confirmed? George RR Martin Slams Report, It's 'Completely False'

A "Game of Thrones" movie spin off is not happening, and this confirmation comes from none other than the creator of the stories himself, George RR Martin.

According to Daily Star in the U.K., an insider allegedly dished that a movie based on Westeros is in the works. But the author apparently said that he wasn't going to be involved in it. "I have too much to do. That is something HBO and the DB and David are dealing with," said Martin. "I have two more books to finish and I still have so much to do."

The source went on to say that the movie will be a return to previous times, which means that dead characters and fan favorites, such as the Starks, Robb, Catelyn and Ned, and Oberyn Martell, will be part of the film.

"With the Game Of Thrones universe there is much rich material and no constraints on when that story will take place," the source said.

But in a Livejournal post, Martin said that the report is not true. "No one is working on any movie just now. And if there was a movie, it would not be about Robert's Rebellion," said the famous author.

In addition to this, Martin's assistant e-mailed Huffington Post to deny the report. Whatever Daily Star quoted from the author, which were allegedly made at a party during the Emmy's, are "not direct quotes." George also sent HuffPost a separate statement saying, "There's been talk about it," in reference to the movie. "I'd love to see one, but nothing is decided."

This is not the first time the rumors about the movie cropped up, as Martin himself broached the idea back in 2014, before the fourth season of the series started.

While talking to Vanity Fair, the author said that there are plenty of options for his Westeros characters. "We have prequel. We have the Dunk and Egg novellas, which take place a hundred years before. And I've just published The Princess and the Queen, which takes place two hundred years before. So there's lots of Westeros material out there, if we want to keep doing Westeros projects, but not necessarily that," he said. In fact, he also broached the idea to The Hollywood Reporter following the Vanity Fair interview. "They could be the basis for [a film]," he told the news outlet.

Meanwhile, a rep from HBO also confirmed with HuffPost that the rumors about the movie are "not at all correct."
