A new Hollywood Reporter piece on Game Of Thrones’ creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss’s five-year, $250 million mega deal with Netflix has now suggested that the pair are only confirmed to have written the treatment for the three films, and are “committed to penning at least one of the films,” even though the “original deal was to write all three.”
As recently as May, Disney CEO Bob Iger announced that Benioff and Weiss would oversee the next Star Wars trilogy, the first of which is scheduled to hit cinemas in 2022. “We did a deal with Benioff and Weiss, and the next movie will be theirs,” Iger declared at the time.
