AceShowbiz - George R.R. Martin has hinted at a potential project with Maisie Williams, who played Arya Stark on "Game of Thrones". In a blog post, Martin mentioned meeting with Williams in London for a meal. He declined to reveal the topic of their conversation, but suggested it could lead to something "so much fun."
Martin did not specify the nature of the project or whether it was related to "Game of Thrones". However, HBO has several prequels and spin-offs in development, including "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" and "Aegon's Conquest". Williams could potentially be involved in one of these projects.
Despite Arya Stark's departure from Westeros at the end of "Game of Thrones", an Arya spin-off is a possibility due to her popularity and the ample room for further exploration of her story. Williams has expressed interest in returning to the franchise, and a reunion with Martin could reignite her career.
Additionally, Martin is working on other projects, including the vampire story "In the Lost Lands". It is possible that he is collaborating with Williams on an adaptation of this or another story. Martin's familiarity with Williams' acting style would make her a natural choice for such a project.
HBO head Casey Bloys has emphasized the importance of Martin's involvement in the "Game of Thrones" universe. However, he has also acknowledged that creative differences can lead to challenges in collaboration. Bloys remains optimistic, stating, "But with the creative process, we are always going to have bumps. That's to be expected."
