Author George R.R. Martin had hopes to merge Game of Thrones with Westworld itself, according to a report in Entertainment Weekly.
Westworld show-runners Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy were flattered by the idea but felt it wouldn’t work. “I need to be believe that dragons are real,” Joy told EW. “I want them be a real thing. So as much as I love George, I can’t lose that for myself!” EW has the scoop:
Of course, there are all sorts of other, higher hurdles – creative, logistical and legal – that would make a crossover highly unlikely to ever happen. But at least the showrunners haven’t ruled out that other genetic archetypal lands such as Roman World will eventually be introduced in the series. “We’ve got an awful lot of material to cover just with Westworld, but you want to stay tuned…” Nolan says.
