George R.R. Martin Developing Animated 'Ice Dragon' Movie With Warner Bros.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Warner Bros. is developing George R.R. Martin's fantasy novel "The Ice
Dragon" as an animated movie with the "Game of Thrones" writer on board as
a producer.
"The Ice Dragon," first published in 1980, is the story of a young girl and
the ice dragon she befriends in a mythical land of frigid snow after the
death of her mother. The ice dragon was an untamed creature of legend and
fear, and when it flew overhead, it left in its wake desolate cold and
frozen land, but the girl was unafraid because she was a winter child,
born during the worst freeze that anyone could remember. Her friendship
leads to the ice dragon defending the girl's world from fiery dragons on a
summer day.
Martin's manager Vince Gerardis is the executive producer of "The Ice
Dragon." Warner Bros. Animation Group chiefs Allison Abbate and Chris
Leahy are overseeing the project for the studio.
Martin has said that "The Ice Dragon" is not set in the same world as
Westeros in "A Song of Ice and Fire," the series of novels first
published in 1991, which served as the basis for "Game of Thrones." The
HBO drama will return for its eighth and final season in 2019.
Martin is repped by WME and Gerardis. The news was first reported by
Deadline.
