‘Game Of Thrones’ Creators David Benioff & D.B. Weiss Open Up About Their Split From HBO, And Confirm Longstanding Rumor About That Finale
Game of Thrones creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss say HBO's one-time owner AT&T actually requested the series be shot for cell phones viewing.
In a new article in Wall St. Journal ‘s WSJ Magazine to promote their upcoming Netflix series 3 Body Problem, Benioff and Weiss open up about why they ditched their longtime perch at HBO for the streaming service. Benioff and Weiss also confirm a long-standing rumor that the duo pitched the idea of bringing GoT to a close with three feature films rather than what would eventually come to pass: 13 episodes spread over two seasons. 3 Body Problem is thought to be one of Netflix’s most expensive projects ever, with WSJ estimating the per-episode cost “in the $20 million range.” Based on a popular science fiction book series by Chinese author Liu Cixin, the series, which debuts this spring and is the first Benioff-Weiss collaboration with third showrunner Alexander Woo, chronicles “a slow-moving alien invasion of Earth.”
