‘Game of Thrones’ movie officially set for 2029 - Entertainment Weekly

Since 2022, Richard Fink has been a contributing writer at MovieWeb, working in news, features, list, and reviews. He previously was part of the news team at Screen Rant for two years. Even before Game of Thrones concluded its eight-season run in 2019, every major streaming platform was looking for its own answer to the hit HBO fantasy series. In the years since, plenty of high-budget fantasy shows have vied for the crown, including The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, Dune: Prophecy, and the upcoming Harry Potter reboot. Even HBO couldn't let Game of Thrones go, so it turned it into a multi-series property with spin-offs like House of the Dragon and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. Netflix, however, might have the true challenger to Game of Thrones coming in 2027. The streamer has recruited an Academy Award-nominated filmmaker behind one of the past decade's biggest movies to reimagine a classic fantasy series for a new age. Netflix is so confident in its potential that it is breaking with the streamer's convention and giving the fantasy epic an exclusive theatrical release. The film in question is none other than Greta Gerwig's Narnia: The Magician's Nephew.

As a child actor who eventually segued into more adult roles, admittedly after a decade in the wilderness, before diversifying into directing, it makes perfect sense that Bateman views Howard as the blueprint, since few have managed to navigate that transition as successfully as the Happy Days veteran. If anything, it must have felt like kismet when they became collaborators on Arrested Development, allowing the star to tell the narrator and executive producer to his face that he’d spent his professional life dreaming of emulating his path from an on-camera nipper to a behind-the-camera force. One of the key lessons he took from Howard, as obvious as it sounds, was not to be a dick. Bateman had his demons, and he battled them successfully, but it was watching the two-time Academy Award winner’s kind, compassionate demeanour that convinced him if he ever made it back to the big time, he’d try to be a nice guy.
