George R. R. Martin on the Game of Thrones set
The Big Picture It is the sign of a gifted creative mind when it is able to pivot between different genres and deliver on the renowned quality the mind is known for. Step forward famed fantasy writer George R.R. Martin, the renowned author has seen some of his most acclaimed works, like his novel series, A Song of Ice and Fire, adapted into the television series, Game of Thrones, by HBO.
The newly released image features Martin sitting in front of some sci-fi-looking machine. Not much is known about the film at the moment, but it’s within the sci-fi genre. Filming on the project recently wrapped at an undisclosed location in New Mexico. The Summer Machine is directed by Michael Cassutt from his own script, with production on the short film handled by Steve Graham , Elias Gallegos , and Mark Steinig alongside Martin.
Martin is most famous for weaving complex political intrigues with a blend of family drama, as was seen evidently in the critically acclaimed HBO series, Game of Thrones. Martin's collaboration with HBO has expanded beyond Thrones, as the network has expanded their influence over Westeros, going back in time through Targaryen history with House of the Dragon, which premieres its second season in mid-June.
The Adaptation Tango Martin has clearly aided in the adaption of many written works to television in recent years. However, the acclaimed author has recently voiced his opinion about film and series creators making changes to the books they are adapting just to be able to say they left their personal signature on it. Writing in his Not A Blog website, Martin voiced his distaste, saying:
"Everywhere you look, there are more screenwriters and producers eager to take great stories and 'make them their own. It does not seem to matter whether the source material was written by Stan Lee, Charles Dickens, Ian Fleming, Roald Dahl, Ursula K. Le Guin, J.R.R. Tolkien, Mark Twain, Raymond Chandler, Jane Austen, or… well, anyone.
