I guess because they think there's money to be made and I guess Kit Harrington's not rolling in other offers?

Well, Kit is going to be Black Knight so he has better than most.

But, no, he didn't get the A-list transition he wanted.

He's still a solid B+ verging on A-.

Does kit even have many big roles. Other than black knight and Jon. The only other I know him in is Salem Kotch in Call Of Duty Infinite Warfare.

He starred in Pompeii so... there's that.

I keep thinking he was Dracula Untold but that's Robb.

Actually, I'm kinda struggling to think of anyone who's had a decent showing post-GOT. Emilia Clarke's Last Christmas is kinda the only one I can think of and even that's borderline damning with faint praise.

... of course it's almost like there's a reason many people weren't making films in the last two years.

That's not Robb either, that's Luke Evans (who isn't in GOT).

Emilia was also Sarah Connor and Qira.

So she's fine.

I mean, Terminator 5 was terrible but it's not like it wasn't a big role.

[up]And whatever she's doing in Secret Invasion.

I was just wondering today who had the best post-Thrones career (if one considers time spent on the show as a factor, maybe Pedro Pascal got the best ROI). The main cast's other roles have been mostly name-recognition franchise-hopping (Terminator, Marvel, Star Wars), which isn't bad, but I don't know if they can open original movies on their own or anything like that.

Kit's been in several HBO mini series, so someone over there really likes him.

He was great in the HBO tennis mockumentary 7 Days in Hell. Dude has some physical comedy chops that tragically will not be put to use in this spinoff.

George R.R. Martin Confirms Involvement in the ‘Game of Thrones’ Sequel Series - Working Title is 'Snow'

Yes, there is a Jon Snow show in development. The Hollywood Reporter story was largely correct.

Our working title for the show is SNOW.

It seems as though Emilia Clarke has already mentioned that SNOW was Kit’s idea in a recent interview. So that part is out. Yes, it was Kit Harrington who brought the idea to us. I cannot tell you the names of the writers/ showrunners, since that has not been cleared for release yet… but Kit brought them in too, his own team, and they are terrific.

Various rumors are floating around about my involvement (with Snow), or lack of same. I am involved, just as I am with THE HEDGE KNIGHT and THE SEA SNAKE and TEN THOUSAND SHIPS, and all the animated shows. Kit’s team have visited me here in Santa Fe and worked with me and my own team of brilliant, talented writer/ consultants to hammer out the show

Huh. He's working on a sequel to a series he hasn't even finished.

Guess it's official and we're not getting winds of winter.

I can relate to him taking so long. I add a paragraph to my story at best like, every other day. But reality drains me so much I don’t do much.

I get it. The broad strokes of his plot were in the show, and the fanbase basically told him they hate it. I'd be unmotivated as well.

Winds of Winter will still come out, in my opinion.

As he's pointed out the show and the books are very different animals, sure the broadstrokes are going to be very similar but a lot of people have noted the biggest problem with the show is the pacing and rushing to fit things into shortened seasons in 7 and 8 and that Martin's writing would probably set the plot points up a lot better at least.

Yes. A lot of the basic plot points work fine. It's just the execution clearly should have been over multiple seasons.

I mean, I disagree with some of the conclusions as well.

But George R.R. Martin's reason for not finishing it are actually the opposite of what most fans think according to his blog. George says the problem is not that he's not writing, it's the fact that it's become a Kudzu Plot. He's said something akin to the effect that Winds of Winter is like 10x the size of a book it should be because he gets lost in writing side characters, worldbuilding, and descriptions. One interesting interview was that he said Penny became a major character before he realized no one cared and she was distracting from the main narrative.

Which is interesting because it implies TOO MUCH engagement with the subject.
