Coming… Eventually… Maybe

The story about the adaptation of IN THE LOST LANDS broke a week or so back.

And now, hard on the heels of that, comes the announcement  about another story of mine being developed as a movie.

“Sandkings” was the story I was best known for, before A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE came along.   Originally published in OMNI, it went on to win the Hugo,  Nebula, and Locus Awards (my only triple crown), and has been anthologized and reprinted more times than I can count.   It was filmed once before as well, a...

Bear As much as I want TWOW to come out, I think I understand his problem with it. The show took over the story and finished it... badly, though all in all I think that was more or less Martin's ending, they just did a crap job of telling it. Now, he is supposed to go back, and finish his story in the face of what the show did... and if it were me... I would have a very difficult time not only finishing it, but having to fix it. I am not explaining this well, but I think I get it. I hope that he does fix it. Cheers to you, George.

He owes a decency not to put on a misleading title. He could title it "In a Lost Lands" instead of "Coming", knowing very well what people expect.

Even worse if so

Trust me, Martin's ending will be nothing like the show's. He's not going to write a seven-to-eight volume series about the spoils of war and critique of Vietnam only for it to end in a giant battle.
