George R.R. Martin is calling out film and TV adaptations of books that don’t live up to their source material.
In a new blog post, the author recalls a panel with Neil Gaiman, the creator of the comic book series Sandman, which Netflix adapted into a series. Gaiman was involved in developing the Netflix series, and although Martin didn’t comment on the adaptation, he said that “very little has changed since” 2022.
“If anything, things have gotten worse,” Martin wrote. “Everywhere you look, there are more screenwriters and producers eager to take great stories and ‘make them their own.’ It does not seem to matter whether the source material was written by.”
Martin went on to cite famous authors like Stan Lee, Charles Dickens, Ian Fleming, Roald Dahl, Ursula K. Le Guin, J.R.R. Tolkien, Mark Twain, Raymond Chandler, and Jane Austen.

After being severely traumatized by all the deaths on Game of Thrones, viewers were reluctant to start another show in the same universe for fear of getting attached. Even in the first season, which told a backstory and showed how the characters became who they are, there were some pretty devastating death scenes.
As we move forward with an all-out war between Team Black and Team Green, the body count is expected to rise rapidly. Whether that will happen in season 2 or be pushed into the future depends on how the writers adapt the events of the novel. What has already been hinted at is where some of the characters will go.
How Does Daemon Targaryen Die?
It is no surprise that Daemon Targaryen and his nephew Aemond Targaryen have become fan favorites of their respective teams, as their characters are essentially two sides of the same coin. Both talented and determined warriors,...

Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow is currently scheduled to be the second Dcu title released by DC Studios and we recently learned that Cruella director Craig Gillespie will helm the movie.
Ana Nogueira (The Vampire Diaries) is writing the screenplay - she was also attached to the Supergirl movie starring The Flash's Sasha Calle - and House of the Dragon star Milly Alcock will play the titular hero.
If you've read the Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow comic book, you'll know that the series ends with a glimpse into the future and Kara Zor-El sporting a new costume which is less Supergirl and more Superwoman. Now, some new fan art by @jaxsonderr showcases what Alcock's version of the character could look like with that suit in the Dcu.

When it comes to any kind of fantasy show, the writers usually have a set of rules for the universe to keep from contradicting anything that happens during the plot. This task becomes even easier when the show is based on a novel, where the lore has already been outlined by the author, and all the writers have to do is study it and keep it in mind.
Unfortunately, when adapting a novel, the team behind the show usually has to make some changes to make the story fit the format. And this is where the inconsistencies become more apparent. House of the Dragon, which is already very different from George R.R. Martin's original novel, is no exception.

What Do We Know About Dune Prophecy? More than you may think. With the second part of Denis Villeneuve’s adaptation of Frank Herbert’s classic science fiction novel a critical and box office success, it is going to be several years before we see the next feature film in the series, Dune Messiah. Luckily, production on the small-screen prequel /spin-off was concurrent with Dune: Part Two which means before the end of the year we are going to return to the fictional realms of Arrakis, Geidi Prime, and more via Max.
While not much in the way of footage has made its way online, there have been quite a few reveals about Dune Prophecy, so let’s jump in and discuss.

Even though House of the Dragon is a prequel to Game of Thrones, and, based on the way Daenerys Targaryen started out it’s quite easy to predict the way the show will end, fans still believe there is an element of surprise to each twist and turn of the storyline.
Now that the show enters its second season, and both sides are getting ready for the war, the fans are left guessing the lengths each of the characters could go to in order to secure their place near the crown and remain as powerful as possible. The only issue is, for some characters season 2 seems to repeat the same story in a slightly different font.
Did Daemon Love Rhaenyra?
Even though the show has always been very open about the age difference between Princess Rhaenyra and Prince Daemon and their relationship status, there are still many House of the Dragon...

When the Emmy nominations are announced July 17, something will happen that hasn’t happened in 50 years: The nominees for best drama series will include only one previously nominated show, Netflix’s The Crown. I would love to be able to say that’s because there are so many great dramas out there and that TV Academy members are diligently watching them and championing different great ones this year. But the truth is, this field, historically among the strongest each season, now looks like a wasteland.
Such perennial nominees as HBO’s Succession and Westworld and AMC’s Better Call Saul have ended, along with second-tier contenders like Paramount+’s The Good Fight and Star Trek: Picard. Some ongoing, previously nominated shows were not back in time to be eligible, in some cases because of delays caused by the writers and actors strikes, including Netflix’s Stranger Things, Squid Game and Bodyguard; HBO/Max’s Euphoria,...

House of the Dragon’s second season is getting closer to its release date on Max, and the never-ending details about the upcoming installment give us all an even scarier feeling of anticipation than ever before.
The show’s season 2 will finally bring the viewers a long-awaited fight for the ultimate power between the Blacks and the Greens, and, given House of the Dragon’s showrunner’s latest revelations, the full-scale war will get to the level that only Game of Thrones and some Marvel flicks could reach so far.
Despite recent heavy criticism regarding its creative decisions, the MCU is still like nobody else when it comes to turning on-screen big battles into something extremely realistic.

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, the next Games of Thrones spinoff, is coming together, and George R.R. Martin took to his blog to tease that it will have a “much different tone” from the previous shows.
“The Hedge Knight will be a lot shorter than Game of Thrones or House of the Dragon, with a much different tone… but it’s still Westeros, so no one is truly safe,” Martin wrote. “I hope to visit the shoot come July, when I swing by Belfast on my way to the worldcon in Glasgow. The show will make its debut next year… and if it does well, The Sworn Sword and The Mystery Knight will follow. By which time I hope to have finished some more Dunk & Egg stories.“

At the beginning of House of the Dragon season 1, we saw King Jaehaerys make a brief appearance. The frail old king was in the last days of his life and had to choose his successor. His own kids may have passed away, but Jaehaerys had the choice between his three grandchildren – Viserys, Daemon, and Rhaenys.
Fans are speculating that King Jaehaerys will make an appearance in the second season of House of the Dragon. This is because the actor who plays King Jaehaerys, Michael Carter has season 2 listed on IMDb. The character may appear in the flashback scene when Viserys learns about the prophecy that is meant to be passed down from one king to another.

HBO’s House of the Dragon, a prequel to Game of Thrones, is about to release its second season. Not much attention was paid to House Stark in the first season of House of the Dragon, hence it is one of the Houses that fans overlooked. The arrival of one of the most well-known Starks in history will bring us to Winterfell in Season 2. However, not all Starks (or their bastards) will be getting equal screen time.
Sara Snow might’ve negligible appearance on House of the Dragon
Besides Lord Cregan Stark, fans are looking forward to seeing Sara Snow, Jacaerys’ alleged love interest from Fire & Blood. However, she might not have a lot of screen time, as writer Sara Hess recently said this to EW about her, “Expect very little.”
She added: “Our Pov is the Targaryens, and our Pov is split between King’s Landing, Dragonstone, and then when Daemon goes to Harrenhal.

When Ryan Condal started preparing and filming for House of the Dragon season 2, he made sure that the actors felt connected to their dragons. According to George R.R. Martin’s literature, Targaryens had a very close bond with their scaled beasts. So, the showrunner found it necessary to let the actors get fully acquainted with their dragons and their strengths.

Warner Bros. Pictures has released the official Beetlejuice Beetlejuice trailer and character posters. The anticipated film is scheduled to open in theaters and IMAX on September 6, 2024, nationwide and internationally beginning September 4.
After an unexpected family tragedy, three generations of the Deetz family return home to Winter River. Still haunted by Beetlejuice, Lydia’s life is turned upside down when her rebellious teenage daughter, Astrid, discovers the mysterious model of the town in the attic, and the portal to the Afterlife is accidentally opened.

Due to the several time jumps we have observed since the start of the series, House of the Dragon is rapidly approaching a full-fledged civil war involving the now-adult characters. This is significant since the tale that the television show is based on is really a few decades into the battle between the Greens and the Blacks, and the time jumps facilitate this. However, we won’t have them in Season 2.
Ryan Condal confirms House of the Dragon Season 2 has no time jumps
The time jumps that were spread out quite evenly throughout Season 1 annoyed a lot of fans. This is because they got to spend less time with their favorite actors. Condal addressed the issue in the latest episode of the Official House of the Dragon podcast, where he confirms with the host about the time skips being absent in Season 2, and says:
“It’s funny. The time jumps,...
