Exciting news broke on the people of Westores when the two-time Academy Award nominee Naomi Watts announced to play the lead in worldwide highly appreciated TV series “Game of Thrones” prequel, in the as-yet untitled project from creator Jane Goldman and George R.R. Martin.
Featuring the world’s descent from the golden Age of Heroes into its darkest hour, the untitled prequel will take place thousands of years before the events of “Game Of Thrones” which will reveal the horrifying secrets of Westeros’ history to the true origin of the white walkers and the mysteries of the East to the Starks of legend.
“Only one thing is for sure: From the horrifying secrets of Westeros’ history to the true origin of the White Walkers, the mysteries of the East to the Starks of legend, it’s not the story we think we know”, the official statement stated.
It is been announced that, the Oscar-nominated actor will be playing “a charismatic socialite hiding a dark secret” in the pilot from Kick-Ass screenwriter Jane Goldman.
Last year, Goldman hinted that her series will include humor and gore. “Those are things I love, and things I like to do,” she told Digital Spy. “It would be remiss of me not to put them in.”
“There are very strong female characters but it’s an ensemble, there are men and women,” he said. “Jane is a very good writer, we don’t want to limit her to writing female leads. There are a lot of very complicated leads in.”
The show, if ordered to series, will not air until at least a year after the end of Game of Thrones which completes its run in 2019 and has been described as “six one-hour movies”.
