Project game of thrones

Mistakes will be made, and many will be your fault. The difference between a good leader and a great leader is oftentimes taking the time to grow—instead of being set back—when faced with failure. Project managers should check their egos at the door and look for every opportunity to improve. Seek constructive criticism both from the top of the organization but also from the bottom; these insights can not only benefit the companies as a whole, but also managers on a personal level.

Desperate to prove himself to his father and to his men, Theon decides to conquer Winterfell. While Ironborn are really great at sacking cities, keeping them is entirely another matter. They are far more interested in—and good at—pillaging than holding land.

Ironborn have a long and proven history of raiding fishing villages. What he would have known, had he taken the time to learn about his crew, is that Iron Men do best at the sea—and that there is not much to gain from taking Winterfell, even when accounting for respect he could earn from his men. Recently, Oberyn demonstrated that the right equipment—a light spear—could win a fight against overweight armor and slow swords giving up that victory with a touchdown dance in the end zone is another matter.

But this lesson is also taught all the way back in the first season of Game of Thrones. Lady Catelyn has possibly made her gravest mistake: accusing Tyrion Lannister of attempting to murder her son, Bran.

She captures and drags the Lannister up to the Vale so that he can stand trial. Tyrion chooses trial by combat—and Bronn, a sellsword, comes to his defense. Bronn faces off against Ser Vardis Egen, a man covered in heavy armor and a huge weighted shield. Bronn quickly wears the knight down, injures his leg, and then finishes him.

When evaluating a project, make sure that you have all the resources you need—and manage them carefully. One invaluable tool that every project manager needs is good project management software.

House of the Dragon is currently filming in the U. House of the Dragon is based on Martin's latest book, Fire and Blood , which is a fictional history of the Targaryen dynasty in Westeros.

The book covers about years' worth of history in the Seven Kingdoms, but the show will be focused on a period about years before the events of Game of Thrones. This subject makes perfect sense for HBO , as it will be even more action-heavy than the original series. The Dance of the Dragons pitted a dozen dragons and even more riders against each other in an all-out war.

This series may serve as the lynchpin around which other, more experimental series can orbit. The next most-developed project so far is a series about Corlys "The Sea Snake" Velaryon, tentatively titled 9 Voyages , according to a report by Deadline. He is an enigmatic figure who sailed all over the world in his life on his "nine great voyages.

This series is reportedly in development by writer Bruno Heller The Mentalist, Rome and Gotham and a small creative team, but few details are available so far.

However, fans are hopeful that The Sea Snake's travels will allow Martin and the show's creators to further expand this fictional world beyond Westeros' shores, and perhaps make some revelations about the far-flung lands where legends like Azor Ahai come from.

In Martin's history, The Rhoyne is a massive river in the eastern continent of Essos, which was home to a powerful civilization called the Rhoynar. However, when Daenerys' ancestors the Valyrian Freehold began to encroach on their land, the Rhoynish Queen Nymeria ordered all of her people onto all 10, of her ships and led them on a mass exodus to look for a new home.

It is unclear when exactly this legendary migration happened, but we do know that the Doom of Valyria happened about years before the events of Game of Thrones. Regardless, this series might shed light on the legends of Rhoynish water magic, and the mysterious Dornish culture in the southern desert of Westeros. So far, this series remains a rumor reported by Deadline , with no cast, writers or other creators besides Martin attached. These short, one-perspective books follow the humble hedge knight Ser Duncan the Tall and the disguised Targaryen teenager Aegon V — who goes by "Egg" — as they travel the country doing chivalrous deeds.

These stories are set about 90 years before the events of Game of Thrones. Leaked production photos during this time revealed that the pilot was named "Bloodmoon", which was later confirmed to be the tentative name for the overall Long Night prequel project. A rough cut of the pilot was delivered to HBO in September - which then immediately requested that it be re-edited. This apparently wasn't enough to fix it, as soon afterwards on October 29, , HBO confirmed that the prequel was formally canceled.

Given the large investment of time and money into the project, its cancelation came as a shock - up until that point HBO had been treating it as the flagship title for Game of Thrones spinoffs, with the other prequel pitches on hold. The only word about it from official news sources was a report the next day in TVLine , citing anonymous insiders:.

This leaves the open question of whether Plepler ever intended to actually oversee an ongoing Long Night TV series, and separately, whether Plepler left in part because he didn't want to deal with the inevitable backlash to a "troubled" project which had been marred by "creative differences" since early in its scripting phase. Hours after HBO announced the cancelation of the Long Night prequel, it released another announcement that it would instead be developing a different prequel titled House of the Dragon , about the Targaryen civil war known as the Dance of the Dragons which took place almost two hundred years before Game of Thrones.

Unlike the Long Night prequel, the Dance of the Dragons already had extensive prequel novellas to draw from as source material to adapt. HBO also announced that it was foregoing a pilot episode, instead directly greenlighting House of the Dragon for a ten episode first season. Ironically, none of the five potential prequel showrunners initially announced in May ultimately made the first prequel to air.

While a "Dance of the Dragons prequel" was in fact one of the initial five pitches, it had been assigned to Bryan Cogman - who then left HBO in October to sign an exclusive five-year development deal with Amazon. Retroactively, this explains why Cogman's pitch was the last of the original five to be finalized, a full four months after all the other pitches were announced as a group - he was struggling to schedule his obligations between it and Season 8.

Two weeks after House of the Dragon was announced, Deadline broke the news that new showrunner Ryan Condal would be leading the project, along with veteran director Miguel Sapochnik as co-executive producer. The report also confirmed that Condal wasn't simply taking over Cogman's old pitch, but starting over again from scratch.

Condal and Cogman reiterated in several subsequent interviews that nothing from Cogman's original pitch treatment was re-used for House of the Dragon , rather Condal's new team started over again with only the same basic idea to make "a prequel about the Dance of the Dragons". Therefore, from a strict technical standpoint, none of the original five pitches "won" the competition between them, because House of the Dragon isn't the pitch package that Bryan Cogman submitted in alongside the other four.

There was "a" Dance of the Dragons prequel pitched at the time, but House of the Dragon is a do-over made by a completely different team of writers. In this respect the "War of the Five Pitches", as fans dubbed it in , ironically ended much as the actual War of the Five Kings did: in exhaustion, with none of the original faction leaders surviving to claim victory.

As for the identities of the remaining pitches, in July there was a major leak that Max Borenstein 's pitch was a Doom of Valyria prequel, titled " Empire of Ash ".

Among the details from the leak: [22]. In May , George R. Martin made another blog update in which he confirmed that one of the four remaining prequel pitches had also been rejected - but he reiterated that besides the Long Night prequel which had just begun filming its pilot there were still two other active pitches which were relatively well-developed one of these two turned out to be House of the Dragon :. Soon after these announcements at the end of October, David J.

Peterson subsequently gave an interview on November 12, , with the longrunning podcast series Game of Owns , in which he gave confirmation on several key details: [24]. Kong movie, in which he was asked about his prequel pitch. Borenstein said that given the large amount of work he put into the pitch he still wanted to make it someday, and given the recent leadership changes at HBO's parent company combined with their recent expansion with a second wave of prequel pitches, he remained hopeful:.

Given that David J. Peterson had confirmed that the three prequel pitches which advanced to the point they had story bibles were the Long Night now canceled , the Dance of the Dragons greenlit as House of the Dragon , and "Old Valyria", Borenstein's admission that his pitch was very developed to the point it had a story bible indirectly confirmed that the Old Valyria prequel was in fact his prequel pitch.

This lends some credence to the earlier leaks from July that Borenstein was working on a Doom of Valyria prequel titled " Empire of Ash ", though of course it doesn't confirm the more specific details from that leak. The identity of the fifth prequel, which was also rejected early on, remains unknown.

In spring , it was reported that HBO was considering several new prequel pitches, both live-action and animated. Unlike the first wave of prequel pitches, which were formally announced by HBO itself in one big burst, these new pitches were first learned about in a series of insider leaks posted in major TV industry news sites, which were spread out from late January to late May This is intriguing given that Martin said he didn't want to start an adaptation of it until after the prequel novella series is finished: so far only three out of a planned twelve instalments were completed.

On the other hand there are time skips between novellas on a scale of years, so it's possible that HBO is just considering an adaptation of the first three novellas before going on break. Two months later on March 18, an extensive new leak report came out in Deadline , claiming that three entirely new live-action prequel pitches were being considered: Nymeria and the 10, ships of the Rhoynar , the 9 Voyages of Corlys Velaryon , and one about Flea Bottom.

Corlys Velaryon appears in House of the Dragon so this would be a direct tie-in to the first major prequel series basically a "Young Corlys" show. Moreover, Deadline reported that rather than being attached to a Robert's Rebellion series, Bruno Heller was attached to the 9 Voyages series. No further details were given for the pitch about "Flea Bottom" - the worst slum district in King's Landing - such as whether it was set in a specific time period or was an anthology.

Given that in his youth Daemon Targaryen was commander of the City Watch and essentially took over the city's underbelly and was called "Lord Flea Bottom", this might have been another House of the Dragon tie-in, focusing on Young Daemon, but no specific details were given.
